Feature Description

[top]

Since I own a DVD player which can show pictures while playing mp3- tracks from a CD I started to produce mp3-cd's; but I was always to lazy to scan the covers. Than I detected that there are a few online databases that can be searched, so I deceided to implement this small tool to grab the corresponding cd cover image for a given mp3 file.

MP3Htm will scan a selected drive for mp3 files, read-in all id3-tags, analyze the artist, album and trackname and finally put the results sorted into a treeview. Now you can explore the results, and if you double-click an entry MP3Htm tries to find the cover picture for you. What you will get is the cover image as jpeg, gif or bmp in 300x300 pixels. I guess that resolution is sufficient to show the picture on a tv.

• open the application
• select the drive that should be scanned for mp3-files
• press "Scan for mp3's!" to start the search
• after a while you will get a tree of all found files sorted by artist an album
• navigate to the entry you are interested in an double-click it (works for both album and artist)
• the browser window will take your selection and query an online database to find your selection
• you may need to select the right album, just use the browser window to navigate there

• If you see the small picture of your CD than press "Scan for Cover" and the application will load the bigger picture for you, the only thing left is to right-click it and save it - that's all. I guess it takes longer to read this text than actually doing it
