Thanks for this wonderfull program!

How can i embed the downloaded the art in my MP3?
Is this something that 'Album Art Downloader XUI' could do?

Thanks

AFAIK, Album Art Downloader can't embed images in MP3s yet, but there are several other programs that can do this. One of the better ones out there for Windows is MP3Tag, which makes it fairly simple: you select the MP3 file, go to View > Extended Tags... (Alt+T), click "Add Cover..." and select the file(s) containing the artwork.

If you have a whole album of MP3s in a single folder, you can copy the artwork to the folder, and some players will recognize the artwork and display it while the songs in that folder are playing.

On a lot of occassions, a much better match is found by AAD if I manually change the search in file browser to:

Artist - Track

But, this then means that, when I double-click the art, it downloads with a name which doesn't match the filename. This means I then have to manually change the name of the art (becuase I want it to reflect the music file, except for the file extension).

I got a large collection with good songs, all put togheter in one folder (all diferent artists and albums), but that makes it almost impossible to get the art attached to the songs

when I launch AAD from foobar and then change the parameters to make a different search, the results are always saved following the original pattern

Exist any solutions to make fonts of this beautiful program sharp? Like in WinXP without ClearType or .NET Framework 3.5 doesn't allow this?

Thanks for the report. It appears that it is trying and failing to display a particular image file - can you tell me what you searched for on which source? Obviously it shouldn't crash even if it can't display the image, I'll fix that, but I'd like to take a look at the image in question too. If it turns out that WPF image handling can't decode images that GDI+ can, it might be worth reverting and keeping the old GDI+ system anyway.

Alex

to me it looks like it could be a problem of some source only, because results starts to fill the window and than it crash

if i found more time ill try to pinpoint if its trouble of specific source

ps: my system if w7 sp1 64bit... not sure if 64bit could be the culprit

Actually, just had an idea - do you have the Local Files source checked? Could it be finding files already on your hard disk?

hope this will help

Version 0.38.1

working perfectly. thx

sadly not for me...
[...]
another thing i noticed in v37.1 is, that the discogs-results were not displayed in the results window.
it does count in the search-window how much AAD finds, but they are not displayed.

now i want to store the files as "front.jpg" instead of "folder.jpg"
