Cover art issue
« on: September 07, 2006, 07:41:39 pm »

Hi everyone  8)

I store my cover arts into the same folder where mp3 are.
 
I saw in the options... >> File Locations >> Track Images Location that it is possible to set MC to seek for cover arts next to file with the name: [Artist] - [Album].jpg, however my cover arts are named as: [Artist] - [Album] (Front or back or cd).jpg. Can I modify that?

If I'm not mistaken, you should make the one you want defaulted (to show by default) be named the standard and then every other one should add back or cd to the name.  The one MC expects will be the default image and you really want to set one.

MC doesn't care how the image files are named if you have only one image file in each album folder. It can find also those images that do not follow the selected naming rule.

Since you have more than one image in each folder you need to link the front cover images manually or change the filenames to "Folder.jpg" or "[Artist] - [Album].jpg". Actually, MC uses "[Album Artist (auto)] - [Album]" so that the multiple artists albums can be linked with cover art too.

You can use MC's tools for renaming the front cover image files.

I have written a few posts about MC's cover art handling and how I use cover art, for example:

Thanx Alex B, I will do that.

Maybe in a new version it could be possible...
