Find large album art?

Post by witchseason »

Hi - I was browsing my music folders in Explorer and noticed that certain files took ages to display. I checked some of these and realised that the album art was huge - more than 5000x5000 pixels - and when I replaced that with smaller images the files loaded as quickly as all the rest.
Is there a way to find media files that have particulary large artwork? Or sort a view by size of artwork? It seems there used to be a script that would do something like what I'm after - see viewtopic.php?t=12042 - but that doesn't work in MM5 (Windows).
Thanks

There is no build in method to do this in MediaMonkey. I don't think there is an Addon either.


Tip: Sync can (as of MediaMonkey 5.1) resize files on Sync so your devices don't have to struggle with large Artwork.

5.1 is an old beta, the current beta is MediaMonkey 2024.

You could display and sort by the "Properties, Filesize" column and see which tracks are larger filesize than expected.

You may have some long-play tracks which have large file sizes as well, but can probably recognize those.
