    Hi NeonDev,

    thanks to all the improvements you have made in the new release!

    I have tried to contact you via personal message / email to send you an mp3 with attached cover / album art, because this board doesn't allow me to send a mp3 track via personal message.

    Just like Rjaniz, I ripped all my CDs a long time ago when album art wasn't a part of iTunes. I have over 100 GB of mp3 and AAC files in my iTunes library. And for that reason I startet my car pc project, to have the complete collection with me. That was before Apple came up with the 160 GB iPod.
    It took me weeks of work to get covers attached to all the music files. Cover Scout helped a lot with that job. But now it is the nicest part, running iTunes in full cover flow mode and scrolling through my collection with my fingers on the touchscreen or go through it very fast with the Powermate wheel.
    So therefore I find the cover function quite important. So if you give me your email, I send you a mp3 file with integrated cover so you can test it. It works in iTunes (I have tested it in an empty library on another computer) but not in NBB.

    if you just click again after setting it it will come back (in my build, not sure about the release). Im working on a fix

    Edit: at the moment this seems like a bug in apple's NSCursor object so i don't know what else I can do but offer that workaround.

    Edit2: ok after reading the NSCursor documentation calling unhide will simply negate an earlier call so I need to balance them and it should work fine.

    Edit3: ok should now be fixed. hard for me to throughly test without a touch screen. will be in the next release.

    Is there any way possible at all that you can also make this run on 10.4?

    I suppose I could simply resize according to the system resolution, but I am a bit reluctant because I don't want the interface to get squished or anything. I will look into that but I would still appreciate a list at the very least to provide in the settings window...
    The 8.4" screen runs at native 800 X 600.

    I'm reluctant to spend as much time it would take to make and maintain a 10.4 version... I feel that by the time it was good to go most people would have access to leopard. My time is probably better spent expanding features and fixing bugs.

    to give you more details; I would have to rewrite the audio playback engine and write my own animation engine, and im sure there are alot of minor things too.

    if NBB ever reaches the point where it does all we plan for it to do I'm sure it will be well worth it for people to drop the $130 to pick up leopard ;-)

    The album artwork doesn't seem to be an isolated case. Most of these songs are purchased from the iTunes store or downloaded and iTunes then downloads the album artwork. All my music is MP3 or AAC.

    I know that AMP2 needed to import all of the album art (as well as the music) for it to all work. Maybe take a look at what it was doing? I have a feeling my album artwork is NOT integrated into the MP3, but I also have a feeling that you are going to run into the majority of peoples artwork not being embedded into the tags. I don't get why AMP always had to import stuff though - never made sense to me.

    I haven't been able to use this yet as I dont have leopard installed so this may already be an option. Is it possible to have an icon for the ipod to pop up somwhere on the music screen when it is plugged in? That way u can play music from the ipod.

    our solution for the ipod/any other supportable external media will be to choose a library in the music module preferences. we will probably allow the user to order their prefered libraries as well.

    @TTeuer-
    the problem with the album art is that I don't know how it is referenced when it is not embedded and all of my music is embedded so I have no reference at hand nor can I find any with google. If somebody has this information I will certainly listen to them.

    I will guarantee you this. my solution won't involve any importing ;-)

    already done

    5.1 Support With Eq
    wouldn't get your hopes up. sorry but this is going on the far back burner
    odds are you would have to write your own module

    Multiple Screens..
    again not something I would get my hopes up for at the moment. has a better shot than 5.1 audio tho.

    Everything else is on the road map. its just a matter of time and effort
