I am Sorry -How do you install Album Images

(1/1)

newFish:


Sorry for being A pain...on the skins that display album art..How and where do you place the bmp or gif files?  what are the rules? How does Wincab Know which Image goes with what song?- off the Mp3tag?

Chris:
It uses the first image that matches the rules in jukebox.ini in the folder the song lives in, so if you have multiple albums in one folder the juke will get confused.

In jukebox.ini:

# CoverArt defines the order in which files are searched
# for cover art.  Cover art is only used for CD skins
# at this time.  The cover art found in the flder for
# the first song in an album is used.

CoverArt1 = folder.jpg
CoverArt2 = AlbumArt_{????????-????-????-????-????????????}_Large.jpg
CoverArt3 = *.jpg

newFish:
I think I understand....So the any Jpg Images Located In the Mp3 Directory will be used....or you can specify another "album  art " Directory of your Choice- Right.  The Jpg would have to be named correctly with the artist Or album name? which One?  Like BonJovi.jpg?  or do you name it by album name like "Have a Nice day.jpg"

Thanks

Chris:
No, you can't specify a separate art directory... the art feature is dependent on each album having its own folder.  If you have multiple albums mixed in one folder you'll get whichever image it finds first.  I modeled this after the way Media Player does album images so it would automatically use those that Media Player auto-downloads.
