Re: [Banshee-List] Cover art



Google Image Search > Larger than 640x480 is a great source ;) The most
effort I go to is manually stitching together Amazon cover art, which
they splice into four pieces that aren't directly accessible with a
right-click!

600x600px artwork isn't too useful in default Banshee, as the Now
Playing pane uses 300x300px (IIRC), but that's another patch that I've
put into my personal version of Banshee :)

600x600 pix would be nice, but sourcing all those would be work.  I can
see I would want them in the tablet age.  The cover art brings richness
to the listening.

Thanks for verifying my observations about pix size to device type...

    Yes, the numbers are resolution caching for different locations (Now
    Playing in the top bar, large on the "Now Playing" screen, album
    browser, etc). IIRC then not all sizes are cached - if your media player
    wants 57px images then it won't be cached, for example. I've patched my
    Banshee to cache the right size for my Creative Zen.

    Even when I've had Banshee find album art for me (which is normally not
    great, because its sources often give low-res images, where as I use AT
    LEAST 600x600px) then I've been able to replace it and have never had
    the option disabled.

    What happens when you quite Banshee and then run it with "--debug"? The
    errors just look like MusicBrainz is giving bad data or has changed its
    format or something.
