I havent read entire post, but currently im working on a Script that currently only works with Wianmp, but I belive its easily implemented to other media players, one of the "problems" I have encountered is that Winamp does not have a very good implementation of the Album Art, so I have been using Samurize ( www.samurize.com ) to get the Cd covers, and my script executing Samurize Server, I also have a vb6 app that does this but I belive the script will have a better Implemntation , also someone had done an iTunes DP program some time ago, I will get the link later, and the iTunes scrip also has the ability to do Album Art to display. But I dont use iTunes for everyday, just to sync the iPod.

Here is the scrip, Im onli having a problem with the second time I dont know whats wrong, the problem is that I need a pause between executing samurizeserver and setting the DP notice the quoted parts:

As i'm Devoleping Sharp Media (a Media Player)
i allway's like to intagrate things into Messenger's.
while reading this sparked an idea.
i can do this from my player, without askign the user for an image.
if anyone is intrested you can pick up a light version of Sharpmedia at
www.5070live.com

if you do use it, check for update's often it just might be released very soon.

Guys, this thing of  Now Playind album art to DP is already done.... only works for WMP.... Its a script by Veggie, Sadly, I cant link you to it, its on a private subforum...

This was implemented weeks ago by CAD RC4.
www.closetosoftware.com

Check the forums for the latest build.

I could now sign in and saw my untested script working

It's very simple, take it, develop it, publish under your name if you want. I did it to use myself.

I havent tried CD Art Display In a long time, well it does basicly the same thing as my current samurize scrip, but I remember when I tried it I whould only get pictures for entire folders so if you have various singel mp3s in the same folder it whould not work, while Samurize had a folder tu dump all the single mp3 covers, I dont know if CD Art Display RC4 has this feature. I will try it.

I had a half built code, I've edited it a bit more and this is more reliable. Just a simple solution, but at least a solution, and works absolutely great with me!

code:

//Music DP by can16358p
//Make your Display Picture the cover of the album of the song you are listening to!
//Edit the path to your My Music folder
//For any reason, if another filename is used for album arts instead of folder.jpg, change it there
//Tested with Windows Media Player 11, but should work with any configuration that has the songs and the album art file in My Music/Artist/Album/
//Do anything you want with this code. Play with it, change things in it.
var initial="";
var path="D:/Documents/My Music/";
var imgfile="";
var imgname="folder.jpg";
var name="";
var artist="";
var album="";
var id="";
var existcheck=new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var sinfo="<ScriptMenu>"
sinfo+="<MenuEntry Id=\"mddp\">Make current DP default</MenuEntry> ";
sinfo+="</ScriptMenu>";

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart){
    initial=Messenger.MyDisplayPicture;
    Debug.trace("Script Started!");
    Debug.trace("Default DP: "+initial);
}

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(id,loc,orig){
    if(id=="mddp"){
        initial=Messenger.MyDisplayPicture;
        Debug.trace("Default DP Updated.");
        Debug.trace("Default DP: "+initial);    }
}

function OnGetScriptMenu(loc){
    return sinfo;
}

function OnEvent_Signin(mailaddrr){
    var initial=Messenger.MyDisplayPicture;
    Debug.trace("Initial Image is: "+initial);
    if(Messenger.MyStatus>=3){
        makedp(Messenger.MyCurrentMedia);
    }
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
    Messenger.MyDisplayPicture=initial;
}

function OnEvent_MyMediaChange(newsong){
    makedp(newsong);
}
function makedp(str){
    str=str.substring(str.indexOf("{1}\\0")+5);
    song=str.substring(0,str.indexOf("\\0"));
    str=str.substring(str.indexOf("\\0")+2);
    artist=str.substring(0,str.indexOf("\\0"));
    str=str.substring(str.indexOf("\\0")+2);
    album=str.substring(0,str.indexOf("\\0"));
    str=str.substring(str.indexOf("\\0")+2);
    id=str.substring(0,str.indexOf("\\0"));
    str=str.substring(str.indexOf("\\0")+2);
    imgfile=path+artist+"/"+album+"/"+imgname;

        Debug.trace("Artist: "+artist+", Song: "+song+", Album: "+album);
        Messenger.MyDisplayPicture=path+artist+"/"+album+"/"+imgname;
    }else{

        Messenger.MyDisplayPicture=initial;
    }

It does. It can also load covers from the ID3v2 tags.
