I'm going through my library and downloading cover art I can find using MJ.

I assume that if the cover art has been retrieved and stored for one file/album that it isn't retrieved and stored again for another song on the same album??

[JimH]

Correct.

[Gatobrit]

OK. Cool.

But then how do I "tell" MJ that I have downloaded the cover art from album A so that it will display the cover when the next song from the album is played?

Do I have to go through all songs and download one at a time? Seems like doing this from the Album media library view would be simpler?

I don't use cover art, so I'm just guessing, but . . .

the cover art is stored in a folder within JRiver/media jukebox/data

select all the files for the abbum, right-click, select properties, select the image tab, and then add--point it to the correct image

[Gatobrit]

Yup. The cover art is held in a directory under MJ - I just found it. I guess it seems like a ling winded process to do the lookup n times per album.

If the player simply looked in the directory when it needed cover art and if it found a match then cool, otherwise use the default picture.

[leonidas]

in v.8, isn't there an option to have MJ fetch the cover art automatically when the cd is ripped

or are you working with previously ripped cd's

[Matt]

MJ won't search for cover art if:

1) it can find a match from what's already been downloaded
2) it already tried and couldn't find any for that artist / album (this resets everytime you re-run a cover art scan)

You can also specify "don't go online" and it will only hook-up to hits from #1 above.

[Gatobrit]

Matt - yeah, I understand. It seems to me that checking the cover art directory (that's how I'm storing the files) at the time of playing would preclude having to go through the download process.

MHorton - yeah. I'm downloading the cover art against the rag bag of MP3s I have.
