Lost cover art on upgrade?
« on: January 05, 2013, 07:29:09 pm »
I use MC to download, save, and tag album cover art for my discs. When I upgraded from MC 16 to 17 I lost a lot of my albums cover art.  So I retagged and reorganized all my music folders - cover art and all.

Last night I upgraded from MC17 to MC18. Not because I needed to, but because I want to support Matt, Jim, and all else who make this the best media player out there. But again I find that I'm missing cover art for a lot of my albums.  It does not just happen when I upgrade from one major build to the next, but even from incremental upgrades as well. Like I said, I use MC to download and tag the album art. So why does this continue to happen?

Trying to download and/or load my cover art now. Now MC apparently will not attach any cover art, neither already saved in the folder or downloaded thru MC's internet tagging.

Bummer dude.

I don't understand this. I upgraded to MC18 from 17 with no hassles in the art department that I've noticed.

I default to FLAC for audio format and the art is embedded within the file. Are you opting for a non-embedded art option? Is that the difference?

If the worst did happen, then I'd restore the library from the NAS.

Hope you sort it out soon.

Are you uninstalling before you install a new build?

Hi Jim. No. I kept MC17 when I installed MC18. Honestly, I can't remember if I lost the cover art before or after I deleted MC17 after MC18 was installed. Is downloading and tagging part of a unique build? And not transferrable automatically among upgrades? I thought tagging was tagging - embedded into the file or saved in the folder. And any thoughts why MC wont allow me to attach a cover art picture at this point?

I don't know what's happening for you.  Sorry.  Cover art can be in the file or in a folder.  Thumbnails would need to be rebuilt.

Hmmm... Thanks Jim. I had forgot about the "Rebuild Thumbnails" option.  :)   

OK, no harm done as the thumbnails are apparently still there. Weird, though.
