Covers in different folder

[Rasmus Pank Roulund-2]

Hello,
I am quite new to EMMS but it seems to be great!
I use it alongside J. River Media Center which saves covers in covers in
a folder where filenames are formated as Artist - Album.jpg.
Is is possible to tell emacs to emms-browser-default-covers  but that
seems to define the default cover rather than some rule for cover
location.

Also, all my mp3 should contain embeeded covers. Would EMMS be able to
use these?

Thanks in advance,
Rasmus

See
,----
| emms-browser-covers is a variable defined in `emms-browser.el'.
| Its value is
| ("cover_small.jpg" "cover_med.jpg" "cover_large.jpg")
|
| Documentation:
| *Control how cover images are found.
| Can be either a list of small, medium and large images (large
| currently not used), a function which takes a directory and one
| of the symbols `small', `medium' or `large', and should return a
| path to the cover, or nil to turn off cover loading.
|
| You can customize this variable.
`----

So you can set it to a function which guesses the right cover by the
path name.

It seems `mp3info' doesn't know about cover tags, so I don't know how to
extract them from the mp3s.

I see. Would this be simple function like c:/.../cover art folder/%artist
%album? (with the correct %-functions),
or would it need to be emacs lisp?
I am guessing the later. . . I have got through the introduction to Emacs lisp
one day. . . (It seems very good, btw)

Thanks,
Rasmus

You won't get along without elisp. :-)

If you tell us exactly how your music is organized somebody may come up
with a function that fits your needs.

I know, but in between exams and school related texts I have very little
time. The beginners lisp books does, however, look really good.

All cover arts are located in a single folder and files are named as
[artist] - [album].jpg
The size is varieing though, since my main media program seems to be
resizing cover art on the fly . . .

Thanks,
Rasmus
