Downloadable music often includes liner notes and other album images, and you may also want to add your own content. JRemote 3.08 added a new feature that make it easier to view these additional files associated with a selected track.
Adding asset files
All asset files must be located in the same folder or in a sub folder.
For example, you want to include a PDF file to one of your albums.
If you have the album in this location:
C:\Music\Tool\Lateralus
You can put the PDF in the same folder, or you can create a folder structure like this if you wanted:
C:\Music\Tool\Lateralus\Assets\PDF
The important thing is that they share the same containing directory, in this case “C:\Music\Tool\Lateralus”.
Configure MC to include images and data files
All PDF and image files must be imported to JRiver before that appear in JRemote.
This is important to remember, because data and image files may not be imported by default.
To make sure that these files are imported go to “Tools” > “Import…”.
I assume that you are using “Auto import” folders, so select “Configure Auto-Import” and “Next”.
Now, select your configured folder (or add a new), and click “Edit…”.
You should now see a view similar to the one attached. Under “Import these file types:” make sure that “Image” and “Data” is selected. Click “OK” and return to main interface.
Please note that only the windows version of MC support Image files at the moment. OSX and Linux users will not see the "Image" checkbox.
MC will now add and index the new files.
Viewing assets in JRemote
Assets will appear in two ways. The first is in the metadata view. If additional files are found a new tab will appear called “Assets”.
Secondly, an icon will appear on the “Now playing” screen if the current playing track has assets.
