Hi guys,

As I previous said : we are really aware of album art issues. And as you also probably heard we are a small company and we need to comply with some legal rules, and downloading album art is one that gives problems.

But let's move on :

1) we are trying to figure out how to do that (downloading album art) without legal hassle. Also I believe is not only mass downloading, but also being able to change a wrong downloaded cover specifically when needed (the drag album interaction will be used for this). That's why there's the cover-N.jpg. So you could visually choose from it.

2) I think with the filescanner that we have for the media library we could also in the future make a "pick" cover from disk feature, where you could point the cover file.
We don't think it would be easy to auto do it, because naming / orgaqnization can be really different for each one.

3) Embbeded album : Canola1 supported that, but as pycage said it is really problematic, so we can indeed try do implement something (it will for sure be implemented in future releases) but we cannot make sure it will work with all versions that easily.

In the end album art is a little bit more complicated than it sounds, as people comes from different media player, with different formats (itc, id3 art, png, jpg, gif, etc) and we a really trying to figure out what will be the best option. For sure someone is going to be out, but this is the real world : we cannot please everyone : /

BR
