Hi guys,

I was wondering how I would get the albumart for the current song from the icecast results?
Would i have to do it manualy in PHP (lookup the track and artist and find albumart from a directory on the server) or can I get the album NAME from Icecast and look that up instead.

thanks

Someone created a hosted program for this called GetMarci.

However, no matter how many times I try to talk him into it, he wont make a build for it to Icecast due to having to build a database to collect paths for /status to integrate with it.

But if your interested in trying to attempt to build one, its doing a cUL scripted array from last.FM, so when the artist pops up, it pulls the data from the site. The result is the artist pictures, and it can very from the cover, and usually ads a cooler effect. A really great idea, because you can recommend smaller/Creative Commons/unsigned artist to last FM, and they can register for free, and when you play there songs, have pictures/album art/metadata pop up from them. Cool concept.

If you want strictly album art, you need to make a script to connect to the DB of Amazon. Also, I believe there is a third party app called WinTicker that works with Icecast. I think that was the name? Its been a while, and I dont have time to look it up.
