creative zen vision M - CD picture in the information bar

[Cheesypuff]

I have no idea how I did it, but on certain collections of mp3's, I have the picture of the album on the information section of the vision M's screen. I was wondering if any of you owners have figured out how to get them there.

I know with the iPod I had, I could import album titles into iTunes and that would work.

Otherwise, if you are using Mediasource, maybe it grabs album covers off the Internet or something based on the file's ID3 tag.

How are you enjoying that player? I'm considering upgrading my MicroPhoto to one of them (as soon as Best Buy Canada gets the darn thing in stock, that is).

I love this thing! it's easy to use, and fairly tweekable. video looks GREAT, and importing songs is a sinch. (cept importing album covers )

The pictures are in the ID2V2 tag within the MP3. You can use a program like Tag&Rename to insert or view them.

Can the player be used outdoors? (i.e. is the screen readable even in bright sunlight?) That's the biggest flaw with the MicroPhoto and its OLED display.

there ain't no screen all that great in bright sunlight, that's sort of the nature of the beast.

I'm not referring to video playback -- more for song navigation (in which the iPod is decent because it just turns its backlight off -- and the text is still readable).

The MicroPhoto's OLED display is HORRIBLE (one of the reasons I'm getting rid of it). Once you are outside, forget about seeing the display at all (the whole display is fairly dim to begin with).
