answering to your questions:
- cover art location is set to 'folder.jpg' in same folder as the tracks are stored, store into file tags is also set to 'yes'
- I use mp3 and flac formats
- audio files are stored on two RAID6 volumes of 2TB each, one for classical and one for modern music, each volume has A.. B.. and so on folders, in each of those folders are the artist names folders, in each of these folders the folders for each CD named 'Year' - 'CD name' and in that folder are the music tracks
- I'm logged in as 'Administrator'
- it always crashes, well, I tried at least 10 different cover art files and it always terminates the program with the 'C++ runtime error' box
- I might try another 20 or 30 to find out if there is one which works
- this is absolutely reproduceable
- step by step:
1. I check the smartlist with the albums which have no cover art (automatic download of cover art and upload to your servers are switched off by the way)
2. I locate the best cover art files on the Internet via Firefox browser
3. I resize or convert the cover art file to a file called 'Folder.jpg' and copy it to the appropriate music album folder
4. within MC12 I locate the album, highlight it
5. I right-click and choose 'cover art'-'add from file' and the box opens to choose the file
6. I locate the right folder and double-click on the 'folder.jpg' file
7. the program crashes instantaneously with the 'C++ runtime library' box saying
Runtime Error!
Program: ......... Media Center 12.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

- Not tried any other way - I always used to do it like this and it worked until I think version 503 or so like a charm
- O/S version is WinXP SP3 (see system log)
- I use all over our system only 'Folder.jpg' files (in the meanwhile 140'000 tracks or something like 11'000 albums, of which approx 200 have still no cover art file stored)
- I use NOD32 rel 3 as my virus program and switched it off to test and it makes no difference
The interesting fact is that I'm constantly adding new albums to the library and if I have the 'Folder.jpg' stored in the album folder everything works fine with the import. Nothing to complain.
It's just in the case I add a cover art pic AFTER having imported the music tracks... very strange
Hope you can work with these informations
thanks
Martin
Jim,
I only use 'Folder.jpg' and never another name
