Noticed a few comments lately re. coverart that is known to be there not being displayed. Could this be why?
hokay, I have all my album art stored in files. For the purposes of playing with sraymond's xslt stuff, I chose my David Gray albums, and "unsaved" the coverart.
It extracted the files just fine, saved all the jpgs just lovely. However, when I opened the xml, one of the covers was missing!!!
Fired up MC, selected the deviant album, and instead of the image, MC is displaying the path to it. I check in explorer, and sure, the file is there. So, why is it not displaying? It was fine before being saved to file, was fine inside the file. I pulled my albumart archive and extracted it (replace files). and here we find the answer.
The original file was a .bmp. MC has accepted it as coverart, even saved it as a filetag correctly, but, when it has extracted the file, it's given it a jpg extension, and is then unable to process the file. See image fox prove the point here....

note the selected file, mc's failed preview and image fox's file details
I converted to jpg, refreshed the xml in the browser, and there was the offending coverart in all it's jpg glory.
