Re: [Banshee-List] The album covers arent saved =/

["Michael.S.G." <OzFalcon bden org>]

As Michael said, It gets saved into the /home/.cache/media-art folder.

IMHO
The best way to handle Album art is the way it's done now.
(Finds art in the Album folder (or downloads if needed). Then stores it  
in the cache folder for viewing in banshee)
What is "possibly" needed is some function to move/rename these 
"Downloaded" cache files to their respective Album folders.

Writing images to the .mp3 metadata would be a disaster for me*. So it 
must be as an option. And besides - I make a point of removing ALL 
images from ALL my mp3's. It just makes bloated, messy mp3's - Not to 
mention the waste of having the same image duplicated in each song of 
the album.

* Disaster - ie. Wouldn't work for me.
I have a Jukebox setup that ONLY boots into Banshee and my music library 
is accessed via a read only server so no one can delete/damage by accident.
