Perhaps this could be done by loading a modified jpeg plugin and uncompress the album art into the metadata buffer when reading the rest of the metadata. > And once jpg is supported people will start > to ask about other formats anyway ... so this can get quite > neverending ;-) I sort of doubt it'll be that neverending. JPEG is by far the most used (and might I add, the most reasonable) format for album art, so I can see why many people are surprised it's not supported, and possibly not even wanted. -- Jonas Häggqvist rasher(at)rasher(dot)dkReceived on 2007-08-26 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
