Features:

  • Use embedded MP3 artwork as thumbnails
  • Apply thumbnails when MP3 files are imported
  • Backfill thumbnails for selected MP3 items
  • Backfill thumbnails for all MP3 items in the current library
  • Extract duration from MPEG audio frames
  • Extract BPM from `TBPM`, `TBP`, `TXXX:BPM`, and `TXXX:Tempo`

Usage:

  • `Apply to Selected MP3s`: Updates only the currently selected MP3 items.
  • `Apply to All MP3s`: Updates every MP3 item in the current library.

For existing libraries, test `Apply to Selected MP3s` on a few files first. If the result looks correct, run `Apply to All MP3s`.


Limitations:

  • Eagle already has native MP3 waveform thumbnails. Import-time format extension behavior may depend on Eagle's internal format priority.
  • Already-imported MP3 items may not be refreshed by Eagle's thumbnail refresh command. Use the plugin window backfill actions instead.
  • BPM is only available when the source MP3 contains a supported BPM tag.
  • Supports common ID3 artwork and metadata patterns.


NOTE:

  • If thumbnails appear gray, try restarting Eagle to make them display in color.
  • Inspector previews for MP3 files may remain gray due to Eagle's built-in MP3 handling.
