Thread: How to Use Album Art in CF1.3?

you will need to have a jpg file in each album folder naned folder.jpg

Alternatively, you need a jpg file with the name of the song.jpg

Thanks, Rickster, but I'm still having trouble.

I downloaded a jpg of the Abbey Road cover, renamed it "Folder.jpg" and placed it in the folder/directory that contains all the mp3s from the Abbey Road Album. When I play that album in CF though, it does not pick up the cover. Is there anything else I should be doing?

make sure you have cover art turned on in the settings screen

Cover art on. Still nothing.

Thanks for the replies. I still can't any album art to display, however. All I'm getting is the default CD icon no matter what I do. I have reviewed all the threads with the word "art" in them. Anybody have any more advice?

Maybe I should ask a couple of questions.

1. Does the jpg need to be a certain size?

2. Should the album art come up anytime a song is played from a directory that contains a picture named folder.jpg or does it just come up if one loads all the songs from the directory?

3. Must I be in a specific mode of the manager, e.g. directory v. playlist, in order for album art to come up?

Thanks.

Tried loading album - still nothing.

My directory structure is as follows:

f:\rock\beatles\abbey road\
01-Come Together.mp3
02-Something.mp3
folder.jpg

Any reason why this directory structure wouldn't work?

I'm also wondering if I need to rebuild the library everytime I add a jpg in order for it to work.

turn on file extensions in windows explorer and then make sure the file extension is .jpg and not .jpeg

Also, the file is a valid jpg file isn't.
