Any way for album art to show up like wallpapers?

Tolone · 06-29-2008, 07:08 PM

Noticed recently when I was lazy and just uploaded a mp3 without adding album art that it just uses the zune wallpaper. Only it looks alot better then album art because it isn't compressed to hell. Anyway for all album art to look like that?

Thanks in advance

So long as the album art is greater then 244x244 px, it won't upscale the album art and distort it

Haven't you ever noticed how wallpaper looks better then album art though? Not to mention, when you have no album art the bar that displays the song info is transparent so your image takes up the whole screen.

Never mind, just tested something and I realize the reason the art always looked so crappy is because none of it had even dimensions. I always thought the old zune software fixed it automatically and the new software was just messed up but it seems the old software just blew up the image.

Ugh now I have to redo all my album art...
