found this http://www.yvg.com/itunesartimporter.shtml but it's not working on my pc. I'm getting a debug error and won't load but maybe it will work for you guys.

oef... that sounds like a SPYWARE program like win media player

hehe but usually when i down an album, the cover is already in it so i don't have a clue where to get it. and presonally, i don't use m, i find m annoying

hehe

but back on topic!

hehe

that's usually my prob to

but now i just make my images, test view them with rr and finally make a proper .skin

works a lot better than adjusting the hot-spots every time

I just use amazon.com and download them manually.

but this might help, never tried it myself though.
Album art downloader

Thanks for the link but the download link is down!! I wish I could download the stuff manually; I have a ton of song and a ton of albums so manually at this time is out of question.

What do you all think of this style for the lower menu icons? Do you think using the lozenge-style buttons for the bottom menu is overkill now?

I'm not sure I like how the leftmost side of the volume slider sits out in the open like that. It looks a little odd to me, but I'm still working on it.

Just posting to say I'm still working on this skin, just haven't had much time lately. All my spare time has been spent doing fabrication and wiring work.

Personally I liked the style before. It kinda tied the top and bottom of the screen together. IMO

I think it looks sweet either way. Only thing that kinda looks a little funky is the way the text on the first row of the lower buttons is shifted to the left rather than being centered like all the others

**01black_ac** · 05-19-2006, 07:49 AM

Yeah that was actually a hybrid design between both styles which I was testing, and I happened to post it without noticing, then didn't feel like going back to fix the image. Yeah, it would be either left aligned, or centered, but I'm agreeing with Gixxer in that the lozenge-style buttons don't match too well with the top info area anymore. Oh well, was worth a try anyway.
