Re: RE: Web interface prototype

=) I agree with the below comments Bob.

I don't think it would be safe either, there was discussion months ago 
about writing to MP3s before, and it wasn't a wanted thing. However, the 
thought was there, and was mentioned.

I also don't want my Slimp3 software constantly hitting the network for 
these images. Those that pay for bandwidth (Such as owners and operators of 
Networks) like to keep the bandwidth usage to the necessary. Example, most 
peer to peer software doesn't utilize bandwidth efficiently. Kaaza for 
example, sends a lot of data back and forth, even if you aren't uploading 
or downloading.

My listening to music shouldn't have to keep getting the data from the net.

Also, once downloaded, say into a separate file/cache, there is no way to 
make that data portable with the MP3, so when I move/copy my MP3's to a new 
server, or mirror, the data is left behind with the  Slimp3 Server data. 
Yet, I probably want that data in my MP3's.

Perhaps a tool (script) could be written that Power Users could run that 
would insert the Album covers into the MP3's if they so choose.

A much better solution I think. =)
