Introduction

Goggles Music Manager currently supports album art in the following way:

  • Embedded in the music file.
  • Separate image file on disk.

Embedded in the music file

Currently Goggles Music Manager (0.10.24) supports album art embedded in the following formats:

  • mp3 (id3v2 tags)
  • flac (native picture block and id3v2 tag)
  • mp4 (covr atom). Requires taglib 1.6.3
  • ogg vorbis ( METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE ). Requires taglib 1.6.3

It can read embedded album art in jpeg, png, bmp or gif format.

If no embedded image is found, it will look for a separate file on disk.

Separate File

Goggles Music Manager will look in the directory of the current playing track for the following filenames (in order of preference):

  • cover
  • album
  • albumart
  • .folder
  • folder
  • (any other image file)

The following possible extensions are supported: jpg, png gif and bmp.

Any plans to support downloading of Album Art from Amazon in the future? This is the only thing that I currently lack in this player :)

Not in the near future. I had some good experience with http://www.unrealvoodoo.org/hiteck/projects/albumart to gather all my album art myself.
