firecracker6 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 hi Carlospr, long time buddy Congrats on the near final release. I look forward to trying this out. One quick question though, can CD art Display insert lyrics into mp3s by any chance? Link to comment

One quick question though, can CD art Display insert lyrics into mp3s by any chance? Right now CD Art Display won't touch any ID3 tag. Not that I'm not considering such option. Link to comment

Stony Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Startet your programm but can't see any CD Cover on desktop. How do I display it?? Link to comment
Carlospr Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Startet your programm but can't see any CD Cover on desktop. How do I display it??What's your player? foobar2000 e.g. requires a plugin that you can also download at CAD home page.Did you follow all the Readme.txt steps? If so make sure to show CAD how you organize your music in "Options>Front cover".See Help file (it's from 1.0 but you can find some tips there). Link to comment

Stony Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm using Winamp. CD Art recognizes current playing song in winamp as well. And yes I followed all steps (there arent opinios to do anything false) See this 2 Screenshot. There is not CD Art or anything on my desktop displayed.. Link to comment
Carlospr Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Did you install CAD 1.0 first (from fileforum.com)?Then did you copy the all new files following the Readme.txt directions?CAD won't run properly if you just unzip 2.0 in a folder and run...If you're already using ActiveWinamp plugin make sure to also download and install ActiveWinamp from CAD web site because some latest release are incompatible with each other.
