Re: Prototype CD cover retriever available

Thought I should clarify that.

Right now, the ActiveX DLL won't do any good for CDJ. The test application will read a CDJ database and look up cover images that match it, and save them to a specified directory -- but only as .jpg's and .gif's (and a mix of the two, at that).

Plus, the app needs more logic. For instance, it won't be able to find individual performers' cd's, only bands. That's becasue CDnow http encodes "Skinny Puppy" (a band) as "SKINNY+PUPPY", but "Tori Amos" (a person) as "AMOS*TORI". The test app doesn't try both combinations at this point.

I'm finding it gets about 1 out of 10 covers, between that problem, having some fairly rare cd's, and having some classical CD's, which are even more of a pain. Still, it's a start.
