I was looking forward to Amarok 2, since Amarok 1 was the only music player that properly read the cover art images embedded in my ID3v2 tags.  Now this functionality appears to be missing.

*sigh*

I hope it's supported in a later release, for now I guess I have to go back to Amarok 1.

Normally this should work, but maybe you're hitting this bug:

I don't think that bug applies to me, since it has nothing to do with embedded cover art.

same here all my cover arts embedded in the mp3 tage dont show up!

using OSX with the new amarok2 .dmg

Sorry, I just realized I was wrong here. Actually the feature is simply not yet implemented, but planned for later releases, e.g. 2.1.

ok nice to hear it is planned so i dont have to search for the covers manually for now

Is there any timetable for when this will be added?

Nope, we don't usually work this way.

Before a new version is being started, we only have a rough idea of what kind of features we want, and then most of it comes along spontaneously. Sometimes we also receive patches from outside contributors.

We're currently in feature freeze for 2.1.0, but we usually tend to add a small number of features for point releases (2.1.1) too, so if we receive a patch for it, we might add it then.

Will the support for cover art tags also include FLAC files now that the FLAC standard supports it?  This and transcoding are my top wishes.  Amarok is definitely my favorite Linux app -- thanks!

Hello all

Since Songbird will no longer support Linux I decided to migrate to Amarok, but all my cover Art is now implemented into the mp3-files.

This thread is now quite old, but I'm still missing the support of embedded cover art in mp3-files. Are there any plans do implement this feature? May I hope for that until next release?

Kind reagards and please excuse my english,

We have an experimental patch for this, but due to some technical issues with it, we could not include it in an official release so far. If you build Amarok yourself, you could give it a try (it worked pretty well for me):

Thanks for your response! I'll try it out

Hi!
This patch is still experimental? I would love to see my embedded covers back in flac and mp3. Any update on this?

If you read the comments in the merge request you would see that without feedback from the requester we can't do much.

Well, he doesn't seem to care anymore
Anything I could do?
