Title: How do I add album art to a folder or embed in mp3s for jukebox software
Post by: shateredsoul on July 01, 2010, 10:47:34 pm

I have been trying to get zenpoint digital center to display album art for a jukebox i'm building, adding album art through windows media player resulted in really poor quality images so I've been trying to figure out how to do this manually.

I tried putting the art in the folder and naming it folder.jpg. Unfortunately it didn't pick up the art this way. What do I have to name the art? or is there a way I manually embed the art into the mp3?

I want to look for the images my self, choose the image, and integrate it. If it's an issue of just naming the image correctly, what should I name it? It says that it scans the folder for art.. but I might just not know what to name it.

Try media monkey to embed jpg in MP3

From zenpoint site

The DigitalCenter is looking for album covers in the order described here.

0. embeded ID3 image
1. "album.jpg"
2. "*.jpg"
3. "*.png"
4. "*.bmp"

embeded seems to be the prefered method.    3.7 apparently has an issue with high numbers of albums for which they have a patch but no permanent fix till next release.

Oh hmm.. where can I find that patch? I searched all over the zenpoint website and I can't find it.

You are not good at searching.   It is buried in the forums.

Hi

It looks like our programmers has fixed the problem. It was a windows 32bit memory issue.

 

We will have this fix released with our next release, but in the meanwhile download the file below and unpack the the two attached DLL's into "c:\program files\zenpoint\digitalcenter" and everything should work just fine. The second time you run the MusicCenter the cover import takes less than a minut depend on the size of your music collection.

i'd like to point out that the free app Taghycardia has solved the task of automated mp3 album art discovery and embedding for me. whenever an album lacks artwork, it searches for the image both locally and online. to prevent mp3s from getting too big, it allows to limit the size of image to embed.

there is a great free program called mp3 tag that works great. I've used it to batch rename and download album art for my mp3 collection.
