Description

hey there... i absolutely love synergry and have used it for 2 years.

however, i cannot stand how the floater "downloads" my album art.

why isn't there an option to tell synergy that i already have all my album art embedded in the mp3 tags, and to use that to display in the floater?

seems like this should be an easy thing to add, and i would much prefer that than downloading something for each track

    The way it currently works it shouldn't be downloading anything if you have the art already embedded in your tracks; ie. it should only try downloading as a fallback if iTunes doesn't hand over the art.

    But independently of that question, I think you're right that there should be an option to never download, even if iTunes doesn't hand over the art.

    Possibly related issues: ticket #54 (about using previously-downloaded art as a last resort). There was also a ticket about iTunes sometimes not handing over art, but I can't find it right now.

    Changing the summary line from "floater + album art" to something a little more descriptive.

    I tend to remember music by graphic covers and so enjoy the floaters displaying the art. But I much prefer to be able to choose to display only my own graphics and never download - especially as I'm playing music not necessarily available on the net. That's actually how it seems to work for me as I've chosen the preference not to allow Synergy to initiate connections. Too many programmes make their own covert connections to the net for my comfort.

    I'm going to mark this one as closed and ask you to add any further comments to ticket #54, the "original" one for this topic. My plan is to add an option to address this in 4.1.2.
