Plugin to Add Pictures to MP3s.

Is there a plugin so I can add pictures to the mp3s.
Many Thanks

No (but it could be cool if someone implement it, for ex. the id3v2 picture attachment).

Instead you can use foo_looks, there's some looks that show the first picture in the directory the file is playing. So if you put the cover in the album directory it will be displayed. At the moment I don't know any foobar plugin that can display cover from a file tag.

Hmm adding pictures to the tags of mp3 files doesn't sound like a great idea. Sounds a little bloated to me.

A plugin that scans the dir the mp3s are in and displays the pictures within it sounds like a much cleaner option.

Plus, it wouldn't be possible with the current ID3v2 implementation, anyway. The database doesn't really support storing binary tag data, and the ID3v2 tag writer only recreates a new tag from what the player core tells it to write. Since it doesn't process the image data, it will be lost when the tag is updated.
