===================
Q. Can abcde download album art?
-A. As of abcde 2.6.1 it is possible to download a suitable cover
+A. As of abcde 2.7 it is possible to download a suitable cover
image from within abcde that can be used by applications such
as Audacious and vlc to illustrate playback with an album cover.
Many hardware playback devices such as iPODs will also use this
These streams should correctly have the .aac file extension and some
players (such as Audacious) will not even play mpeg-2/ADTS streams when
they are placed in an .m4a container.
- As of version 2.6.1 abcde tests the version of faac being used for mp4v2
+ As of version 2.7 abcde tests the version of faac being used for mp4v2
support and then appropriately places the audio either in .m4a or .aac.
Note that tagging is not possible with mpeg-2/ADTS streams in .aac.
