Amarok 2.1.1 and Album Covers

[Snowhog]

I'm running Amarok 2.1.1 under KDE 4.3.1. I've set my Sansa e280 mp3 player to MTP mode. I have mtpfs installed. I connect my mp3 and start up Amarok. The Sansa e280 shows up under the Collection tab. I double-click to load the playlist. All is good. Random track play works (listening to it now). But the album art that is in the Sansa player isn't being 'seen' in Amarok.

How does one get Amarok 2.1.1 to see and use the album art that is present in the actual mp3 player?

Is the cover art embedded to the mp3 ?

If yes

Setting as a wish, as this is a missing feature, not a bug.

A tool: kid3

KDE MP3 ID3 tag editor

The Kid3 has an option to export the cover art from the sound (mp3) file. You could then link , with the Amarok, (Set custom cover-action) this picture back to the mp3 file.

Why does KDE say that this works: Amarok 2.2 Beta 1 "Crystal Clear" released The images they include show album art being displayed.

With the Amarok 2.1.1 > Topic: amarok stopped fetching covers

The Amarok 2.2 beta 1 (2.1.80) is using the Last.FM instead of the Amazon so the Cover Manager action Fetch Cover is working (at the moment ).

Okay, thanks Rog131. It's to bad that Amarok won't/can't pickup the album art that is already associated with the collection stored on the mp3 player.
