mp3s, album art, and c#
So I was messing around with Winamp and this plugin which pops up some toast when the track changes. The latest version will use the windows xp “folder.jpg” feature to show the album art for the track if it can. I thought this was pretty cool, but with so many folders of tracks, it would be way to much work to download the album art for each one.
So, a bit of googling later... and I found that somebody had thought this would be a good idea as well. Str8dog wrote MP3 Album Art Downloader in c# using an Amazon.com webservice to download the images. Just drop it in your main tunes folder, run it (command line), and a few seconds later all (YMMV) your folders will have album art. Sweet.
