Album Art in Mplayer question
 
This may have been asked a thousand times so apologies if it has

How does mplayer know about the album art?

I uploaded an Album which just contained the mp3's and the Album icon appeared

Now it would be great if I could get the album art for all my albums ive got on my N900, does the mplayer go and search a cd database and I take it the album tag must be embedded in the mp3's themselves

It recognizes album art embedded in the id3 tags and also a file, "cover.jpg" (or .png) in a folder containing an album.

Hmm but how does the album art get into the .mediaartlocal folder when the transferred MP3's have no album art id3 tags (not that I can see anyway)

media player must be getting it from the internet but there are no configurable options

Slightly offtopic.
Is there any busybox bash gurus :)

I would like to rename all the jpg files in different (albums) subfolders to cover.jpg and found duplicates (backcovers) could for example be cover1.jpg etc.

It probably picks up whatever picture file is in the same directory.

Have a look at the following page as well:

There isnt a picture file in the directory, thats my point :)

There is now a .mediaartlocal folder as a subfolder with the album cover image in it but i didnt put it there, I only copied the mp3's to the N900 using mass storage mode

are you sure the n900 is getting the art work from somewhere?
i mean that i use mediamonkey to embed all my art work into my mp3s, and after transfering them to phone i only ever see art work that ive embedded myself, the mp3s i didnt add artwork to still show the nokia turntable icon
