Using .254 (not updating till iPod is stable again). New files, imported into my library. "no image(s) -- right-click for tools"
Tools > Options; Tree & View Settings. Selected "Image File" in the list box. Clicked "Edit" button.
In the "Data" area, everything is greyed out. "Store in file tags (when possible)" is checked... I just can't un-check it.
Tools > Options; General. "Update tags when file info changes" is checked.
Right-click > Image > Quick-find in File / Cover Art Directory (it's in there as folder.jpg). Image looks great in MC.
Right-click > Library Tools > Update Tags (From Library). Info box says 12 files updated, 0 failures. Clicked OK.
Closed MC. Opened up MMJB 8.1 and imported these files. Played one of 'em. No cover art image displayed. Right-click > Edit Track Tags. No cover art displayed.
So, if MC
is storing the image file inside the MP3, it's doing it in a way that MMJB can't understand. I'm not sayin' that MMJB is the end-all be-all, mind you. It's just what I'm using for a control.
======================================================
Closed MMJB and went back to MC. Selected these files. Right-click > Image....... and that's when I noticed the "Store cover art in files (if possible)" option on the context menu! Cool, I'll try it.
Updated the tags, taking longer this time, since it was actually putting the .jpg in the files. I did it to all the songs in the album. Now, when they're all selected, the Action Window just says "Inside Files" instead of showing the darn image.
Please fix this, it's bad and wrong.
Fired up MMJB. It sees the images now.
So, the option on the context menu, which seems to be different somehow than the one in Tools > Options; Tree & View Settings, is the key to putting the images in your actual files. However,
please fix the "Action Window just says 'Inside Files' when selecting multiple files that all have the same album art injected into them" bug. I would like to see the album's cover when I select all of the album, not just a message that assures me that each song has the cover inside it.
