Title: Automatic adding of album cover art
Post by: spiggytopes on June 25, 2012, 06:42:29 am

Hi All,

Just started using MC last night, having suffered the whims of Windows MP 11 ..... what a refreshing change is Rivers from the MS junk!

All my stuff is flac.

I've done a quick search on my question but not found an answer.

How can I get MC 17 to automatically download and add album art?

I have tried ctrl/A to select the albums, then find the cover art; works quite well, but does not select all the albums at once.

What am I missing here? Do I have to sit at the pc and tackle the albums "by hand"?

Any response welcome.

Cheers.

Welcome to MC17 and the Forum.

Go to Audio then Albums.  Click once on the first album then CTRL A.  That will select all of your albums.  Now you can right click on any of them and select the Cover Art options.

Hi,

May be it's the same "problem"  I had ;)
It should work the way you do. But it only processes the x first in the new popup. Once done, a new popup opens and the next x will be processed, etc...

Hope this helps.

Yes, even if you select all your albums, MC will process them all but in batches.  This is to allow you to make a selection on the several offered, so yes you must interact manually.

If you have the options selected on the library Import feature it can automatically seek missing covers during import automatically without you having to interact.
