Album Art One of the more powerful features of Jinzora is it's ability to not only display but to help you obtain album art for your media.
Displaying | Jinzora can display alubm art for all the albums in your collection. There are two ways in which Jinzora can read your existing art: Filesystem based: Jinzora will read .jpg, .gif, or .png files from your filesystem when located in an "album" folder. When Jinzora sees an image file in the directory with media it will use that as the image for that album ID3 Tags: Jinzora can also read images that are embedded within the ID3 tags of your files. Jinzora will use this method in the tag data importer, and as a fall back method when using the filesystem importer
Obtaining Art | Jinzora also has several tools that are included to help you obtain art for your collection.
| Specifing per album When you are viewing an album that does not have art you can click the link "Search for Album Art" in the top left hand corner of Jinzora. NOTE: You must be logged in with Admin level priveldges to see this link.
| Auto Searching If you enable it ($auto_search_art = "true"; in settings.php) Jinzora will automatically search for album art for albums when you view an artist. Jinzora will download the first match it finds for a particular album. You can easily click the "Change Art" link below the album (or on the Track page) to select a different album cover for that album NOTE: When Jinzora can not find a match on art it will create a template image with the name of the album dynamically generated on the image for you.
| Using the Admin Tool If you wish, you can use the "Search for missing album art" tool on the Tools page in Jinzora to go through each album in your collection, one by one. While this can be time consuming on a large collection, for smaller ones it can let you choose each album cover you want, one by one in a relatively quickly fashion NOTE: When Jinzora can not find a match on art it will create a template image with the name of the album dynamically generated on the image for you.
