Hi fellow xbmc addicts.

I've been using XBMC for music lately, and found out that not only did you need to have a jpg in the folder for the mp3 to show a cover.

Some mp3 files, had these hardcoded into some tag.

Usually I run with the feature off, about reading mp3 tags, since sometimes people write wierd stuff in these, so I rename the tracks for proper names.

Anywho.

After using http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ to create covers art in some mp3, none of them is showing up in xbmc
- not even if I enable mp3 tag thing.

My xbmc is 1 month old at most.

Why will some cover arts be shown and some not?

mp3tag is so easy to work with, so offcourse it doesn't work with xbmc

any advice?

I don't use xbmc for my mp3 library so I don't know if it supposed to do that but I do use mp3tag for all my tagging because I like the prog. I remember a while ago I was writing a little mp3 player and I found that mp3tag didn't label the cover art properly. It was using the wrong identifier (it's been a while so the info is a little hazy). I had posted a bug report but never heard anything but I also haven't verified in newer versions if he fixed it.

So if xbmc is looking for a specific picture type it might not see it. Just a thought.

Hmm, okay - Can you then advice me what program I could use? Winamp sucks to do this.
However, winamp can read mp3tag.
