Title: Cover Art For CD's using MC 16
Post by: powersteamguy1791 on August 29, 2011, 09:03:45 pm

I just downloaded Media Center 16 and loaded over 25,000 MP3 files  in albums that I've accumulated for many years. Only about half the albums have the cover art work and the rest are blank with just the musical notes. How do I obtain the rest of the cover art for the albums that are loaded but don't have the cover art?

Thanks,

Select a few, right click, then choose Cover Art/Get from Internet.

Yes, do as Jim suggests. The album art you are seeing were probably embedded in the MP3s, the ones you are not seeing did not have the cover art embedded.

Cover Art --> Get from Internet doesn't seem to work for me. All I get is "Your Library - No Cover Art" and in the drop down "Choose Best Result/Choose your Library/Choose Largest. Does not query internet at all.

Tags are ok, I see Album and Artist listed.

Other than that, been liking the software, I only use it for audio and podcasts.

Hi, and welcome.

When internal look-ups for cover art don't find anything, you might try the Images link in the upper right to bring you to Google Images.  Click an cover art image that suits your tastes.

Sounds as if quite a few didn't successful retrieve cover art.  Are these artists/albums mainstream?

Should "Get from Internet" search internally? Get from Internet just does nothing on any of my queries.

It looks up from our online database.

Ended up using mp3tag to get cover art. Everything else works really well in the software. Thanks again.
