N900 Media Payer Embedded Cover Art Not Displaying
 
I have a series of singles in MP3 format that have their covers embedded in their tags (by mp3tag), but, try as I might, I just can't get them to show up in the N900's media player. The covers are in jpeg format, and are 600x600, and show up fine in Winamp.

What am I doing wrong? :confused:

I've used Mussorgsky to grab external album covers, and that works, but these are singles, and as such, don't have the album field specified.

What is the N900 media player supposed to support?

I've been playing with this a lot more, and I think I've spotted the problem.

The media player only seems to extract the artwork when you browse the album view, but not when you just play songs. When you browse the album view, it extracts the covers and saves them in the ".mediaartlocal" directories. It also doesn't seem too good at updating them when they've changed.

I noticed the media player doesn't show art from ID3v2.4 tags. Check if yours are 2.4 and try retagging with 2.3.

Good call. I had to re-index to get them to show up (yet, weirdly they showed up in the now playing view !), but I now have all of them showing. I was wondering why some worked and others didn't!

How to get Mediaplayer to show cover art that I placed in the ".mediaartlocal" folder inside the album directory?

There isn't a way to do this manually.

the app mussorgsky seems to work the best 99% of the time...

What is a good software to use for that?

I usually don't pay for my media! (sorry :) I couldn't resist!)
