thanks again I thought I had to extract them one at a time. Very nice
update:
I was importing from folder instead of extracting to folder - that is why I got the errors before. All is good now

I have tried many different media players and i mostly find compatability issues with them. The one that i find does work the way that i want it to is Itunes and the interface is easy to navigate. I found a great site for iTunes sdk located at AppStore SDK - retrieve information from App Store. With help of App Store API you can download all applications information along with their developer, description, images and so on. and have had no more problems with it.

Reply to an old post I know, but . . . . . . . . .
you mention MP3TAG, Stark Covers and MUSCIART, and having worked my way through MP3TAG, there's nothing about using Stark Covers, and Stark Covers doesn't find my media on my NAS storage - do I have to map a drive first ??
Also, is there a quick Stark Covers tutorial ??
How do you use Music Art ??

Do I have to map a drive first ?? Yes, map the drive or folder, which ever you want, and show stark the Mapped what ever.
Also, is there a quick Stark Covers tutorial ?? Its really easy. Just find the case you like by playing with the Base Profile and Preview. Then show it your media location. If you want to to use your media type to determine what case is used then just check off one of the three settings (By Codec, File Type, MyMovies.xml) and it will use the profiles that matches your settings.
If you want to change to a new profile just check off the (Revert Folder jpg) and choose the new look you want and run, it will revert back to the oraginals and then apply the new look.
The Base Profile is the one to use for Movies.
The Series Profile can be set and Stark will use that setting on a TV Series Top Folder.
The Season Profile can be set and Stark will use that setting on and Season Folder inside of a Shows Top Folder.
The Thumbs Setting is is one to set for TV Shows thumbs. It will only use a few profiles for this setting, TV, TV3D, Movie, Movie3D and a few others.
You can set them all to something different for your shows and thats how they will be applied.
I think that's about it.
How do you use Music Art ?? Its a one at a time tool that will help find the folder.jpg and backdrop.jpg for your music folders. Lode up your collection and then go down the list and it will auto search Google for the folder.jpg and has another tab that searches another site for the backdrops. Just choose the image you want and save it by pushing the buttons in the upper right corner.

A confused noob
Demonseed,
I know, I know -- here comes the noob
...
I have Windows 7x64 (as of 3 days ago) and am trying to get the hang of Media Browser to get all of the goodies I see here.
I have used your Stark Covers app (great), but can't get the preview to work -- I getSo I end up trial and erroring my way through to find what I like best (very time consuming).System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\StarkCovers\Preview\folder.png' is denied.
FWIW, I get a similar access denied error when trying to run MusicArt...
I know this must be a windows 7 thing, but I never had this problem with Vista x64. I am running with administrator rights.
Thanks,
dave
