sorry about that, i guess i misunderstood a previous post.

I think it would be sad to see your FE become mac only over a rather trivial issue. Im sure there are 3rd party apps for windows users to embed their art somehow.
Yeah i agree. the whole purpose of this project to be built in AIR was for the whole cross platform. i just been to busy getting the app to work in one os before i can start searching for apps to streamline the process in another os.

do you ever plan on supporting linux since adobe has said it is porting AIR to linux?
i havent given it a whole lot of thought, mainly because i don't have a linux box (could be quickly fixed with bootcamp). my plan is to make sure that the app works well in mac, then test in win and then linux (sorry linux fans). but yeah i will try to support it.

I know there is no itunes for linux however...

this is true. this is why i am starting to lean towards having my app just look into a folder and build a list from whats inside. if the album art is in the album's folder then everything should work just fine, without iTunes. my secondary app will only be needed by users that don't feel like re-downloading all their artwork.

Make sure you put lots of error handling in there so it runs on Linux!
done and done!
