Cover Art Smartlist ?
« on: February 06, 2002, 09:31:54 am »

Is there a way to create a smartlist that includes all files that does not have coverart ?
This way I know which files I still have to update for coverart

I'd like to see this too.

As well as lyrics.

It's problematic because we don't store lyrics and cover art in the database. (we only database external link images, but not images inside of tags)

So, there's no fast or easy way to do it. (databasing large fields like that would substantially slow Media Jukebox down)

Can you just store a True of False bit in the database that just lets us know if data is stored in that field?

Personally, I'm only concerned with knowing whether or not a file has data in those fields. I don't really care to do searches on a song with a particular word in it's lyrics (although that would be really cool). I just want to know if a particular file has lyrics or coverart.

Doof,

You just took the words out of my mouth.

Just a flag true or false or 1 or 0 would be nice for coverart, lyrics etc.

Had to add my 'me too'. I'd love to know which files still need updating.
