Display embedded album art

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Right now it only displays album art that is a separate file in the folder.
 Please add the option to display the album art embedded in the file.

I am serious.  Why would I not be?  Does your response imply that you think my
request is stupid, or a joke?  Or does it mean that it is just too hard?  
Winamp, and
most other media players, can display album art that is embedded in the MP3 or 
FLAC
file.  If it is too hard, just say that, don't be rude.

I was rude because you have no clue about the plug-in. If you'd have read at 
least
one page or history, or anything, you would have known that the plug-in reads
embedded pictures from ID3 and APE tags... (That includes almost all, like mp3, 
flac,
musepack, mp4, w/e)

Thank you, that is a better answer.  I skimmed through the description and 
overlooked
the line that said it read ID3 and APE, I only noticed the documentation about
separate image files.  That is my fault for not reading carefully.  In any case 
it is
not reading the album art embedded in my flac file.  I am going to assume that 
that
is also my fault and will look to solve that on my own.  I am sorry to have 
bothered
you with my stupid request for something that is already a part of the plug-in.

You can send me your flac file and I will check what's the problem.

Thank you, that is very kind of you.  Unfortunately I am now at work and don't 
have a
file that is under 10MB.  When I get home I will see if I've got anything.

Okay, just tell me if you can't, I'll try to find one then.

Once again, thanks for taking a look.  Attached is .flac file, Winamp displays 
the
embedded album art but win7shell just shows a black square.

Okay this is a bit weird for me... I must admit I'm not really documented about 
the
audio tags, so I have no idea which is which. I thought there are two kinds of 
tags
that contain embedded picture, the ID3v2 and the APEv2. I am reading both of 
them,
but it seems this one is something different. I will look into it and see if I 
can
figure it out, unless you have some more info about it :)

Okay, ignore my last comment, I kinda figured it out... theoretically, now 
lemme see
if I can implement :/

Ignore my other last comment 8-|
I don't know where the image is... I've tried ID3v2 tag, APEv2 tag, Ogg Vorbis 
tag,
but I'm not sure how is this done properly.. sorry :/

No worries.  Thanks for taking a look.  If you are interested, the CD was 
ripped and
encoded using this program: http://www.poikosoft.com/  I also found this 
description
of the FLAC format http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html  the metadata block
picture may be of use 
http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html#metadata_block_picture.

I don't expect you to look into this issue any further.  I am fine knowing that 
my
flac album art doesn't work.  Thanks again for helping.

What you linked is a description of the ID3v2 tag, which is already read by the
plug-in. However the file sent by you doesn't have an ID3 tag, but and Ogg 
Vorbis
comment, and I've managed to extract all the data from it, but I couldn't find 
any
picture...

OKAY!!! Finally Winamp staff gave me the necessary files needed to get the 
album art
from Winamp itself, so everything is displayed there, will be displayed here 
too :)

Wait for next version.
