I've searched the message board and help file, but I can't seem to find the answers I am looking for...perhaps someone can shed xome light for me.
I use MC for listening to music, watching TV and VIdeo; however, I prefer to use Tang&Rename for tagging since it hooks into allmusic.com for info and cover art. I store all of my coverart in ther file AND include a copy of it in the album directory under the name cover.jpg. This scheme seems to work with whatever player I choose (although usually I choose MC
...)
The issue is that after importing all of my files, many of the files that *had* internal cover art suddenly no longer has it. They seem to all be in the coverart folder under MC now. Does MC suck the coverart out of the file?
As a test, I redid my Yo La Tengo albums adding back the coverart using Tag&Rename...updated MC using Library Tool > Update Library (From Tags Always)...MC displayed the imgaes, but instead of say *internal* it noted the coverart directory as the location. Went back to T&R and the images were missing. So...
1. Why does this happen?
2. How can I stop it?
3. How can I put the cover art back without retagging each of my 23,000 files in Tag&Rename?
Starting to panic a bit...thanks for any guidance you can give me.
