Preferences > Album Art tabs (Front, Back, etc.)

Hi there,

is it somehow possible to get more tabs for album art e.g. Disc 2, Inlay, Artist 1, Artist 2, etc. ?

I calculated the needed disc space very carefully. Therefore I use only one embedded album art within the tag and only one folder per album. If there are multiple disc albums I name the files like that "CD# - Track# - Artist - Title.mp3". To organize the files in this way, you need the minimum disc space, since there is only one tag image with the size 256 x 256 (the largest available icon size for windows) and all other album arts are external images within the same folder of the album tracks, thus they are only once needed also.

BUT, foobar give me only 4 tabs to set up album art files: Front cover, Back cover, Artist and Disc, thats it. How can I make more tabs?

I really don't like to double the image files nore to include them to tags. Let's say there are only 50,000 songs in the library and you would waste 1 MB per file, this would be a waste of 50 GB.

Hope someone can help me out. 

Kind regards
Eddie

i'm not sure i understand your post completely but here goes...

if you have multiple discs from the same album in a single folder and each one has different art, you can use the %discnumber% tag from your files to access the correct image. eg

Code: [Select]
front%discnumber%.jpg


just note that doing this for files without discnumber tags would result in foobar looking for images named front?.jpg. to workaround that, you could use this instead

Code: [Select]
front[%discnumber%].jpg


using the square brackets will hide the ? if the discnumber tag is missing. now foobar will display front.jpg for albums without discnumber tags and will happily display front1.jpg, front2.jpg etc for albums that do have those tags.

How do you extract and save the same music folder my album arts of my songs through the foobar2000?
Of course if this is possible.

exemple:

if in the source exist front cover extract to same place as folder.jpg and
if in the source exist back cover extract to same place as back.jpg and
if in the source exist disc image extract to same place as cd.jpg

ps.: I apologize for my wrong English.
