Cover art problems.

**gokee2** · 08-22-2007, 09:58 PM

I noticed CF does not read cover art whatever the tag name is. Is there any way around this, apart from renaming to folder.jpg? Help Please. If there's no workaround to this, I'll probably end up using my very infamous proggie "Renamus" to do the "dirty" job.

thanks for asking this, I'm about to install and use centrafuse but NOT if i can't see my album art, I'd rather spend the 20 hours I'll need to learn how to install and setup RR.

what cover art is not being read? If it is in the tag with a WMA, it should be read... Otherwise it can be named <filename>.jpg, album.jpg, folder.jpg and it will be read...

I renamed to folder.jpg, but still it is not reading it. I don't think it works with <filename>.jpg . I rebuilt my library and still no success.

I have tested all these and had no other reports of album image issues...

If you have for example a folder <Artist>\<Album>\*.mp3 that includes a folder.jpg, it will load when you view that Album in My Library, unless your jpg is corrupt or the wrong format for some reason... Any strange permissions?

Hey David,

I embedded the image to the mp3 file via itunes and now it displays it just fine. Honestly, I did not know that there was some sort of "milk drop" for CF and it displays it on default. Is there a way to change this? I'm guessing it will stay on the album art cover unless you do a shut down.

I'm not sure what you mean by "milk drop"... Do you mean the generic album art? this can be changed in the skin folder, just look for the image and replace it... If you mean the visuals you can simply click it and rotate between album art and the included visuals...

I guess visuals will be the more common term.

But they are basically referencing the same thing. Everything cool now. Thanks David. And for making the BEST front end period.
