Interesting use of Multi-Album Art

Insta · 04-25-2009, 12:36

I ran across this vid on youtube where the guy is using the multi-album art that was introduced a while ago. What's interesting is that instead of just putting several versions of the same art, he tagged the song with pics of the members of the band. I thought it was pretty cool so I thought I would just share it: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cX0ap1eCo0"]YouTube - S9?? ????? ??(mirotic) ??[/ame]

thats actually a pretty smart way to utilize multi album art

kikutap · 04-25-2009, 19:14

it will let you associate a maximum of 6 images. I tested it out a while back.

Well thats just simply not enough for the ska bands i listen to i guess i can leave out the drummer

You could always put the drummer in the same shot with the bass player.

As for band members, it's the obvious thing and I love it. Does any other player support multi-art? If this became standard I'd love to see purchased songs start coming with 6 images embedded.

Anyone with other ideas for the multi-art please post them. Seems like something worth exploiting creatively.

Yeah, just an idea: you could put the cover for singles albums and EPs for tracks that appear on an LP.

One example: Smashing Pumpkins Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was a double LP that had several singles (which were then sold together as a box set). If I understand this multi-album art feature right, you could have the LP album cover:

and then for certain singles have that particular singles cover, like this:

May I know how to put several cover album? with cover1.jpg, cover2.jpg, ...etc?

trs80 · 04-27-2009, 23:37

Yes, can someone please explain "how to?"

Can you write it in with id3 tag or do you just put the art in the album folder?

just get mp3tag (here), its does tag APE and FLAC too
then open a directory, select the files and add the cover

4DThinker · 04-28-2009, 13:59

Apparently multi-images in WMA files aren't recognized by the S9. At least not those done with MediaMonkey.

yoosanlicious · 04-28-2009, 19:22

Main image: album sleeve
Other images: singles from album

EDIT: Ooops, someone has already said this (I should have read the other posts before jumping in!)
