Cover art
« on: December 01, 2003, 09:15:33 am »
I've got about 20 or so ripped albums out of about 250 where MC9 isn't picking up the coverart, I can manually load them by selecting, Image/Add from File and then highlighting the .jpg they then show up fine but if I close and then restart MC9 they are missing again  ?

Is there a way to save them?  Am I doing anything wrong?  Some of them were downloaded fine from YADB some were not and I've scanned them in and reduced the pixel count to 340x340ish to help with my instance of MusicLobby.  Any help would be appreciated.

Try to remove cover art first, even if  it seems there are none. If something went wrong only the removal of the "broken ones" is the way for another try. (works with me)

Can you successfully change other tags? Could it be that those files are read only? Files copģed from a CD-R/RW to the hard disk could become read only.

If you want the cover art to be included into the file (not only database), you have to check the checkbox "store cover inside file" in the right-mousebutton-menu of a song.

I cant have them in the file, MC9 interfaces with MusicLobby and it will not see the coverart if it's embedded.

This is really bizare, all the rest of my coverart is fine, the "missing" ones are in the coverart directory same as the others but they just will not show in MC9 or MusicLobby

They're already on the hard disk, but yes there's tons of space.
