Re: Album Art

Wise choice.

Re: Album Art

Ok, with all the great responses leading me to the solutions, one final question (for now: If I enhance album art with a photo app, will that corrupt the image for tagging? I'm about to light this candle and need to get it right....

Should not be a problem. But try a couple as a test to be sure.

Re: Album Art

Thank you for the intel! I'll set max file size to 250 also.

Re: Album Art

Thanks to all. Now that I've ripped several CD's, I don't get any album art whatsoever on playback?

To display on the Pioneer, try embedding the cover art with a maximum pixel size 600 x 600 KB and maximum file size of 250.

After experimenting, these are what I needed to do to get art to display on my Pioneer car unit. Since using these settings, I have not had art fail to display.

Re: Album Art

It does. I also found the eject options. Thanks again.

Bo

good. Yes, useful to click on all the menu items to see the various options.

Re: Album Art

jpg should work.

Re: Album Art

Found it...thanks! I wonder if it should matter that my stereo manual says it supports .jpeg but says nothing about .jpg? I don't see an option for file extensions.

Re: Album Art

Yes. In the ripper page click in the menu for ripper settings there is a section on tags, and in there you can set maximum art work size.

Re: Album Art

Thanks Gary. Yes, the art work showed with EAC. It has been a few years since I've ripped anything so maybe the 800X800 is too large. I just found in my manual the max size should be 720x576, 4MB or less. It seems, if I remember correctly, 600X600 worked. Can I set DBPA for a default and try that? How would I do that? Everything else is set to default. If I may, is there also a way to auto eject after ripped? I don't see that as an option anywhere.

I just bought a ton of new CD's from Amazon. Those and the ones I already have are going to require some serious seat time!

Re: Album Art

I see the correct album art at the bottom of the page, 800X800 in size. I'm using Pioneer's flagship car stereo, Avic 8200NEX on USB. The same USB drive formatted correctly. I never had this issue with EAC. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I thought by purchasing this it would be quicker and easier.

Yes, should be quicker and easier. So something is set up wrong, but not sure what. When you examine files on computer AFTER ripping, do you see the artwork? And what music server are you using to send files to the pioneer?

edit. Oops, I see this is a car stereo. Do files ripped with eac or other ripper show artwork in the car?

Re: Album Art

do you see it when you look at the files themselves in another program or in dbpa in editID tag? Is the art embedded or a single file in folder? What player are you using.
