is there any way to get the album art to scale to a chosen window size??

I used Tag&Rename on over 5000 songs, I went and got album art for each file and embedded them into each mp3. Then I go and launch them in AutoTouch and I can only see the upper right corner of the album art. I adapted a skin to show the full album cover, but I would rather have the ability to "shrink" this image down.

I have all the album art embedded in my mp3s as well. I can't get anything to show up in AutoTouch though. I can see it in WMP and I have the visualization set to "Album Art" . Is there something that I'm missing? I also played around with the AlbumImage tag size.

right, but that window has little effect on the output, it limits the size but does not stretch or scale down the image... I'm sure this is possible cause Frodo and Centrafuse do it...

I'll look at this , I look for a jpg in the directory you're playing the song from called Album I think, can you tell me what the file is in your cases?

mp3 tags enable you to embed the image in the MP3 file... otherwise there is a JPG placed in the folder, these are the two ways of picking up album covers that I have run across...

my normal JPG in the directory is 300x300 because that is what Amazon uses and Tag&Rename picks those up for you... I am not sure this is "standardized", but other front ends allow any album art size.

Can you give me an example of a program I could use to embed album art in the MP3? The problem is I'm not actually cracking the MP3 myself, I'm using WMP to do all the hard work. I just feed it the commands, so if it doesn't expose a way to get at the image then I can't do anything about it, but I'm happy to look.

Currently I look for a file called "Folder.jpg" in the same folder as the file and then display this. I'm not scaling it because it looked awful when I did that, I thought it looked better to just show it. I can certainly add the option to allow it to scale. I would think you'd prefer a proportional scale and not just a fill this region type manouver am I correct?

If you get that info to me I'd be more than happy to see if I can't do this and make it work for you.
