Mp3tag supports online database lookups from, e.g., Amazon, discogs, or freedb, allowing you to automatically gather proper tags and cover art for your music library.

just a thought...

Like I said in my first post, Tunebite does that for me. If it wasn't there it wouldnt even show up on the front page, the problem I am having is not that I dont have the album art its getting it to show on all my pages.

did you follow johns instructions?, have you tried another skin?, i'll say post the code you use for the indicator, none working screens.

If the art for the MP3s is showing, then it's working as it should. The Honda image is only showing because when you're browsing for songs, RR looks for images on the music folders to find an image that relates to the current folder OR folder that you have selected in the list. Basically just find that image file in the hard drive (probably on your music folder or one level up/down) and move it somewhere else (FAR from your music folder), that's all. No Album art will show when browsing for songs because RR can only do that when they're image files in the corresponding folders (unless mitch did anything to improve on that).

Ahh see thats what was confusing me I thought the plugin took care of the music browsing as well.

The "Phantom image location" has always been puzzling to me. Sometimes I see the weather map where album art is located (Which is in DigitalFX 4.0\scripts\weather. Sometimes it shows an image from the desktop as well. In fact, When I fired up RR today, it was showing the RRTube logo (Located in the root of ths skins folder).

Blue and I tried to figure it out one night, when he sent me a screen capture and I saved it to my desktop. Later when I fired up RR it was showing that screen cap from the desktop as the albm art! hahaha. We could not find a patter to how it was happening and just gave up
