I realize that there is a thread about an Ipod cover art synch issue (
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=46924.0), but I wonder if this is a different issue.
I have an Ipod Video, running latest firmware (v.1.3), running MC 12.0.531, and Windows XP.
After I upgraded to latest version of MC, I've had slight complications with cover art and Ipod synchs. The Ipod synchs fine with the music and photos, but for some reason random files have the wrong cover art. There's not much of a pattern I can see; on the same album, some songs have correct cover art while others have wrong art. And, when it's the wrong cover art, it's always the same image.
Anyone have any suggestions, short of reinitializing the Ipod all over again?
Also, in the past MC has picked up any changes to song ratings I made on the Ipod, and incorporated the new ratings in the MC database. Now I have noticed that any changes made on the Ipod are not included in the MC database after a synch. Is there a setting I am missing?
THANKS!
