I switched my external drive audio library to another laptop with a fresh JR install, tried to set it up, and now have lots of duplicate file names and many files no longer show cover art on the new laptop.
I had JR installed on a laptop, and the only library is located on an attached USB drive. The library is all audio, from redbook to hi-res to DSD, and each folder has a cover art file. Tagging is mostly done outside of JR with Tag n Rename and files are stored on my desktop, then transferred to the portable drive. Except for some minor tagging and art fixes in JR, this has worked well and all files and cover art show and play correctly.
So I wanted to use a newer laptop in place of the existing one on the same audio system, installed JR 19, set it up with the external drive identified, also set auto import to that same drive. Now many files that were fine on the old laptop show as duplicates, one plays and the other does not. On these same files the cover art does not show, just the music note icon. Prior to moving the drive over it was working ok and I made no changes to any files.
So now I’m about to look under the hood, but not sure what I should be checking for. Any suggestions on how to identify and fix the problem?
Many thanks.
