Hey all,

So I've got another round of questions for those that haven't lost patience with me

1)  If I use the library functions to move files by the auto rules it leaves the folder.jpg behind which a) screws up the persistence of keeping the right album art with the actual tracks and b) stops the old directory from being deleted because its no longer empty.... any way to fix this?
2)  For podcast usage, I noticed you can set alot of default tags to anything you want... is there anyway to set the AlbumArtist though?
3)  Is there a way to review "dead files"?  I would make a smartlist if needed.... but i can't figure out how.
4)  I've read there is a way to auto download album art, but i cant figure out how...?
5)  Regarding syncing to an ipod - is there a way to build a playlist, or just configure by default, the synching to take say the "oldest 5" podcasts from EVERY podcast channel I subscribe too?


Thanks!

No

You mean missing files?

Code: [Select]

[=IsMissing([Filename])]=1

4)  I've read there is a way to auto download album art, but i cant figure out how...?

It won't automatically download it but you can get album art by selecting the files, right click > Cover Art > Get from internet...

try this in a smartlist

[Genre]=[Podcast] ~sort=[Date imported]-a ~limit=500,5,[Artist*]

*where Artist or other field is your unique channel

Bummer... I Hope they consider an automove for folder.jpg (or at least ask) in the future. another program does this and its pretty handy not to ever have to go back into explorer.

IsMissing did the trick -- thanks!

I don't have that option available... guess I have to wait until there is a newer version available...

thx, for answers.

Awesome! Thanks a bunch... fyi, for those wondering, I changed Artist to "Feed Url" and I find that works better as some feeds give different artists per track.  This board has helped me alot, thought I would share my tip back as well

thx.
