September – Screenshot, Banshee Cover Art

So, September, my set up has not changed a whole lot:

 

So, I bought a new CD [in my language] today. Its a movie album actually, its called “Stalin” – without any relation to Joseph Dzhugastvili (Stalin). Its a nice album. I ripped it to Flac through Sound Juicer because Flac rocks. Then I was wondering as to how to add Album/Cover Art, and searched for a while before I discovered that Banshee had the amazing capability of making “cover.jpg” or “folder.jpg” in the Album/ as cover art. So I just downloaded the logo of the movie, and put it as cover.jpg but it was all messed up because it was a rectangle instead of a square as it was expecting. But GIMP fixed that, and now I have that cover art I wanted. So just place the image as either “cover.jpg” or “folder.jpg” in the Album/ folder, and you have your cover art. w00t for Banshee! :)   Anyways, later.

    But it’s always been there in Amarok, at least since v1.2.x when I discovered it. The Banshee folks are taking too long to release the next version with some Last.fm intigration. Or maybe I’m just spoiled by the super fast development of that Amarok thingy?

    It should be released in about a week or earlier. It is going to be very featureful with the Tag-Editing, etc. :) I hope you try it out. :)
