Title: Hard Drive failed. I have all the music backed up but lost High Res artwork
Post by: icenine on June 04, 2012, 01:57:31 pm

Really bummed here.  My hard drive failed and I had thought I'd backed up everything.  I have all my music but have lost all my high res artwork.  I thought it would have been saved somewhere from all my backed up files.  Any suggestions here?  If indeed there is no recovery how can I back the artwork up so it won't happen next time?

Try right clicking on a few and choose Cover Art/Get from Internet.  They may be on our server.

If you keep your art in a single directory, you can copy it to a disc or to another machine.  The directory location is set in Tools/Options/File Locations.

Well, I'm having to re-load all artwork.  I'm up to C.  Only about 1000+ to go!!!
