Title: Probably a real newbie question about multiple pictures for Cover Art?
Post by: jctcom on July 30, 2013, 03:23:39 am

So I just ripped my first CD with MC.

I generally scan my CD front, Back and CD Label (If it is interesting) and attach to my files with the appropriate tags (Front, Back, Media).

But I can't seem to find any way to add more than just the 1 picture in MC?

How do I get the separate pictures added to the files for Back and CD (And other pictures if I so choose?)

This is complicated...

Short answer: there is only one image associated with an album.

Longer answer: you can add images to your views, such that when you play the album, all images in the set and the audio will play at the same time in a slide-show like presentation.  Image play back is directed to a separate zone, so both audio and images can play simultaneously.  The key is to have the images show up in the view.

Really?  Why is that.  not a limitation of the tags.  I have multiple images attached to all of my current files.

Hard to believe such a powerful program will be so limited in such a respect?

Kind of sucks.  That means I have to keep another program around just to attach the images.

Dunno, can't answer why it was implemented this way.  JRiver will have to speak to that, but it has been a long standing implementation detail.  There is only one file handled per album as external cover art.

You can place the images in the folder, and view them, just can't "assign" more than a single piece of art to the album (the reference gets stored in the field [Image File].

He does, somehow. Maybe it is a miracle. We are all grateful. Be kind and gentle.

That's pretty funny.  I hadn't noticed how many posts I had.  Probably its too many, so I should go on vacation for a while.  Today was very productive, and filled with some old 70's super-group albums, so I think I'm good.

Cheers.

Yeah right.  You just wanted the attention because I hadn't previously noticed that you have OVER 36,000 POSTS!

It's more likely that you get paid $0.50 US per post!

And I want to know how I can get in on that deal.  I will even take CAN $!

But I want back pay for the last 20 hours!
