I'm not sure this will work, but ...

• Create a playlist called 'emusic' for the files you want to check
  
• Create a smartlist and add your 'emusic' playlist and add imagefile=[] to the end.
  
  Hope this works.
  
  BTW - I tried to post the exact search string here, but playlists are referenced by ID, so you'll have to add your emusic playlist manually.

There is also a smartlist that can find albums without cover art..GOTO

PLAYLISTS > AUTO SMARTLISTS (MUSIC) > TASK -- NO IMAGES

I think it's the same as  JC's but will list all music files without cover art.

If you have your emusic in a different location on your hard drive just insert and extra line in the above smartlist

EXAMPLE:
[Filename]=D:\Music\emusic

where "D:\Music\emusic" is the location of your emusic files

OR

If all your emusic has a comment of EMusic use:

[Comment]=emusic

or something like that...basically if u tagged your emusic with a unique field u can filter it.

the list I mentioned would only check the files in the emusic playlist.

The predefined one, as previously mentioned, lists all of the music files. Only limit to the playlist if there is some compelling reason to do so. I use the predefined task smartlist (plus a few additional ones) to find all music without cover art.

Hope this helps.
