we have plugin for it in beta testing private forum from Veggie.

It works using Windows Media Player album arts and doesn't need to know folder paths or similar.

It's in beta now, stay tuned for release

not a clue , Ill look into it if not ill download and cache it from amazon

Simple, you can get the path to the file, then you just cut off the file name and either add folder.jpeg, or add a user specified string like covers/front.jpeg.  Although most people don't keep a cover collection for winamp, so amazon might be a better bet... but you could always offer both.  User choice is always the way to go!

Yeah, well it won't need to know folder paths but it will need your music to be on Amazon, and hope for the right result.

User choice a very good thing to add, I tag all my albums with tag&rename and it adds the albumart as folder.jpg to the folders.
WMP gives it all sorts of weird random numeral names and scales the art up/down to 200x200 files. On top of that: it picks the wrong art on numerous occasions, especially with lesser known albums.

oh and for the record:
I don't use Winamp, I use Foobar2000.
that's not a big issue, since Foobar has a plugin that emulates the Winamp API.
(you can find it at www.r1ch.net)

edit edit edit:
well color me suprised, cd art display does exactly what i wanted and it accepts id3v2 input, folder.jpg/cover.jpg and any other input.
just had to tell AMIP to stop sending the song information to msn and every worked peachy.

Told ya

small problem: .m4a and .ogg files are read a bit weird, it doesn't pick up the album information, but the rest works.

Is it just me or does CAD use too much resources, I tried it and its using around 20mb of RAM, a second problem I found is that it changes the DP right after you select the track so if you change track fast looking for a song it will load a bunch of useless DP and even the searching and blank covers.
I will use Samurize and continue developing my script.

Then you need to try the latest build.

Can this script take the cover image (always named "cover.jpg") from the same directory where the mp3 file is allocated?

Or, how can I retrieve in the makedp function the year?

Because my folder structure is:

code:

---

artist\year - album\track - title.mp3
