"your library - no cover art" but album has cover art

Can somebody explain to me why on some of my albums/tracks If I go to "Get from Internet" option to get covers, Some albums report not having a cover, when they actually have one that is already displayed too in the Album list?

There is clearly a difference between covers in the Library and covers somewhere else, that I don't understand.

Is there a fast way to reconcile all that, and trust what's in the album list for instance, copying everything in the Library?
Or a way to list all the files/albums that are missing a cover in the library?

The Smart Playlist "Audio - Missing Cover Art" doesn't return those albums.

Thanks.

I think you are probably trying to audit your cover art and find missing art, etc. If so, you might enjoy my Cover Art Review view. I'm attaching it here. Also I'm attaching a screen shot of the view so you can see what it does.

You need to put it in your saved views folder which is something like:

/Users/mimizone/Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 28/Library/Saved Views/

Once the file is there, you can add a new view with:
View > Add View > Add Library View
Then select "Cover art review" from the ones that appear.

Hopefully this will help you find your missing art, and other tasks. I used this a lot when I was first getting my collection sorted out.

Thanks!
I'll try it

It doesn't seem to work somehow.

I created the "Save Views" folder.
put your file in it
restarted MediaCenter 28
added a view via View/Add View/Add Library View, picking the Cover Art Review.

then click on the Cover Art Review
It shows Albums covers as usual not the view in your screenshot.
Tried to select it again from the tab on top of the view itself. It doesn't do anything.

Is that compatible with the latest version of MC?

not sure if it's gonna be of any help, here's what I see in the logs when switching views to the Cover Art Review
