Cabbie v2 not displaying album art on H10

[kyin01]

any ideas why? I put everything in its corresponding folder and I selected the cabbie v2 theme under settings

We're going to need a lot more detail than that on what you've done so far.

Did you follow the instructions on the AlbumArt wiki page to make sure your art was in a proper format and named correctly..?  Most of the problems tend to be that the art isn't named right, isn't in the right folder, or isn't the correct format.

oh so the album art is a separate file and can not read off the album art already embedded onto the mp3 itself?

[LambdaCalculus]

Yes, that's correct. The page karashata linked to should have all of the information you need to get album art to display in your WPS.

Oh okay I see, thanks

So whats the fastest way to make album arts?
I mean i have to find each album and download a pic of it.

Is there a program that will extra the album art from my .mp3s and rename / resize automatically?

If you're using Windows, you can download Winamp and extract the album art using it, but you'll need to use an image manipulation program (like photoshop or some freebie photo-resize utility) to change the image size and format.  There may be other utilities though that can extract it without installing a full-blown media player, you could possibly search on Google for an album art extraction utility and see what comes up.

I don't know of any applications in Linux that extract album art, though I'm sure a few others do.  You may be able to search on Google for those too.

I don't know for certain, but I do believe some Windows utilities for resizing will allow you to do batch resizing and renaming, and I'm sure that one could probably whip up a Linux script or terminal command that could rename many files all at once, if there aren't utilities that could do so.
