Cover Art -- why so inconsistent?
« on: October 23, 2004, 11:20:54 am »

I have MJ8 configured to automatically download the cover art when a CD is ripped.    It successfully downloads the cover art less than 50% of the time.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to increase the success rate?

I connect to the 'net via cable modem, so connection is not the issue.

thank you!

Upgrade To Media Center, Improvements Have Been Made In The Past 3 Or So Years Since MJ8 Has Came Out.

hmmm ... I was hoping for a different answer than "spend more money", but OK.

Here is a slightly different question on the same topic:  

If the automatic cover art download fails, is there a way to manually download the cover art?  

Thank you!

not thru media jukebox or media center

if you use media center you can also use my coverart finder, i think 99.99999% of the time it finds art, since it gets the art from 4 places and not just one.

You should be able to copy and paste from any site where you can find a cover.

It would be nice to have mc auto-grab coverart and actually find something.
The "get from internet" function should be improved or removed.
Can't even find classics with correct tags now.
