REMARK: See also my multipage CD/DVD cover in another thread which is in RTF format. RTF has the big advantage that the users can easily edit/modify/decorate the results before printing.

PURPOSE  
This is an export configuration for software Mp3tag v2.37a.  
It was based on the ideas of two earlier configurations:  
"html\_vitamin\_cd.mte" and "html\_squonk.mte", that were  
found in the "official list of export configurations".

This export configuration aims at producing simple CD  
front covers for MP3 CDs. Such CDs usually contain several albums.  
The size is 12 x 12 cm so the user can cut out the covers and  
put them into the CD case. In this way composer, artist and title  
info as well as the totals of the track numbers, playing times  
sizes will be readable for each album on the CD.

Special care was taken to display long tag texts, if any, in  
a compact, but easily readable form.  
Such a small scrip of paper may be handy for MP3-players, too.

```
  "html_AlbumListCover.mte" produces a summary listing of information
  on the mp3 files in the given folder and its subfolders.
  If there are subfolders starting from the current folders, they are
  also processed and the total playing time, size and track number data
  of all mp3 files in the given directory structure are listed in the
  last row of the output table. 

```

The arrangement allows the displaying of long ID3 infos, too, as the  
following example (MP3 albums from [emusic.com](http://emusic.com)) shows.

## Example (See the attached snapshot for a nicer view):

Album Tracks Time Size

Högman / Bergman / I Quattro Temperament : 15 01:09:29 92.67 MB  
"HANDEL: 9 German Arias HWV 202-210 /  
Trio Sonata in C minor HWV 386a" (1989)

Marion Verbruggen / Ton Koopman / Jaap ter Linden : 27 00:57:43 73.75 MB  
"Handel: The Complete Sonatas for Recorder" (1995)

...

## Total of folder "HANDEL": 163 08:42:07 700.92 MB

If you prefer to list your own folder names instead of the  
sometimes silly album title infos from the id3 tags,  
please use the similar "html\_FolderListCover.mte"

TESTING: The output produced by "Mp3tag v2.37a" with this export  
configuration was tested with internet browsers Opera (v. 9.10)  
and Internet Explorer (v.7.0).
