No, my only concern (upon reexamining) is that embedded does not trump all. > > I will say, it may not *always* be easier to fix, but I think the > assumption that the majority of files will either have intentional > embedded album art, or not have it, and that it will be a minority that > has unintentional embedded album art is the one we should make. An example of where it is not always easier to fix the track.jpg > embedded > folder.jpg scheme: For podcasts, I currently have a directory per program with a jumble of episodes (downloaded whenever, wherever, possible) and a folder.jpg in said directory. I'll bet most of those podcasts have embedded art. Embedded art not being at the bottom of the food chain means I'll be "forced" to create lots of track.jpg folders if I want to maintain my current look. But that doesn't really matter. Fact is I _can_ if I feel the itch and that is what makes me satisfied. And I can fix this on a work PC quickly, without having to install (which I can't do) a tagging program. --soap Received on 2011-02-14 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
