I've just installed the trial version of Media Center and am playing around with it. I am trying to get cover art from the internet, by using:
Right-click on file
Select Image
Select Get from Internet
[varying options]
The status window always pops up and tells me that it's getting the cover art... wait a few seconds... then the status window disappears, and there's no cover art. It doesn't tell me it couldn't find anything, or it
could find anything; it just doesn't tell me anything and doesn't add any cover art.
I started off using 'Download if missing' and 'Standard' as the options, then switched to 'Loose', and then switched to 'Download always'. I've tried all variations of combinations.
I've tried about 20 or so albums, most of them pretty mainstream (or well-known, at least), like Radiohead's 'The Bends', The Offspring's 'Americana', Third Eye Blind's 'Blue', etc.
Even though I would expect that cover art should be found for most of what I've been trying to get, I could accept that maybe it's not -- but is it normal that there would be no message to the effect of, "couldn't find cover art for this album"?
(I've noticed that there is a plugin for getting cover art, and I may yet try that, but as I'm trying out the program to see if I want to buy it, I first want to get an idea of how it works - or, as the case may be, doesn't.
)
Thanks,
J.
