Album Art Stuff?

[dw96]

I had no idea what title to put... It's just a simple problem, I hope I am understood:
When I choose "Find album info" in the context menu for an album, the feature works, but if the files are synced to another computer or device, the album art doesn't show up! The only album art that seems to appear is the one I put manually - copy an image to clipboard and paste it in that thing with "paste album art". My idea is that WMP just seems to remember what the album art is and displays it on this computer, but does not integrate it into the ".mp3" file itself.
The final question; Any app/patch/setting/fix that will... umm... integrate the album art into the file instead of just remembering it??? Please help, this is ANNOYING!

The album art is not part of an MP3, a WMA, or any other music format. When you use the "Find Album Info" feature a JPEG file of the album cover is stored in the same directory as the music file. If you only specify the MP3 file to be synced the art won't be copied. If you specify the entire My Music folder or a folder of songs to sync it should work but you may have to tell Media Player to update the library.

Nevermind.

That is not entirely true. While in most cases an image is stored in the folder, metadata in the files themselves have the possibility to store an image. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3#ID3v2_Embedded_Image_Extension

Mediamonkey will embed album art into individual files where it is allowed by the format, if not allowed it then saves to the folder as WMP

MediaMonkey » Free Media Jukebox, Music Manager, CD Ripper & Converter

The function is in the free version so no need to worry about the Gold version

I get this after opening the program:


It just refuses to run... :huh:

Hi,

This is an issue known to mediamonkey

This appears to be due to an issue with support for iTunes 9 the iPhone 3.0 firmware as the DLL is Plugin used to support this

If you don't use these you can get things running by deleting or re-naming the .DLL file (mediamonkey needs to be not running)

or there is a new version of the file available here ...

MediaMonkey • View topic - d_iPhone.dll supporting iPhone 3.0 firmware

a quick search will find many mentions of this issue so you may want to have a look -

mediamonkey d_iPhone.dll error - Google Search

I'm using the program fine on Windows7 RTM, I can't remember doing anything with this file but I may have

FOUND A SOLUTION! I can't believe how stupid this is! After letting WMP find the album art and info for you, you can hit [Organize>Apply Media Information Changes] to get it all the right way!!!
YES! I'm not going with stupid iTunes after all...
