so i know theres been alot of traffic on album art semi-recently. correct me if i'm wrong, but alot of apps out there that download the album art, save it form themselves. meaning, muine, for examples, finds the album art, and saves it in its database, and thats it. its not embeded in the tag and not accessible to any other program. what it should do is find it, download it, and append it to tag tag of tag mp3/ogg./whatever. now, if rythmbox down include this functionality, of getting album art, ti would be best, in my opinion to do it like this. i was thinking about it and got a basic (and rough, but working) python program hacked together quick to take a directory as an argument, and then walks the directory taking anything ending in ".mp3" and trying to find the album art. if it does, it embeds it in the tag. if anyone wants to see it, let me know. now, as much as i would love to, i don't know if i could/how i would write this for rhythmbox (plus add the functionality to extract that image. i just wanted to see how easy it was to do (i've been playing with fetching album art etc from amazon for a while now so that didn't have to be learned) anyone have any thoughts/ideas on this way of managing the album art issue? would anyone be willing to help me start to implement this? is anything like this on the way? thanks. matt nicholson
