Title: Adding Cover Art from File
Post by: RickerOne on May 12, 2003, 07:54:47 am
I highlight an album in MC9.
I remove all existing cover art.
I right click, then go to Cover Art | Add From File....
I navigate to /JRiver/Media Center/Data/Cover Art and select the cover file that I downloaded from Amazon.
MC9 Updated the file properties to point to the cover I just selected, BUT IT DOESN'T DISPLAY THE COVER.

Could this be because I tried to D/L the art first, then it found no matches?

I remember reading a post that said that MC9 keeps a list of the no matches.

If so, the "add from file" should ignore the no match list.

Try opening the cover art file in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer[/quote] (or whatever image software is quickest for you on your system).

Select "save as", make sure it's set to save the file as a .jpg and save directly over the file.

I don't know why but that seems to work for me most of the time.

That worked.

Weird.  Thanks for the help.
