Have you made sure that you don't have album art turned off in the settings ?
Have you made sure that you have the vis mode switched to album art ?

This is what i have. I also read the how to and i may just be off in the head. It seems simple enough!

and when you play a file all you see is the musical note symbol ?

Well I just tried mine and it's not working either.. Does the image have to be a specific image size? Here's what I did to test mine...

Made directory path:

C:\Music\Soundtrack

Placed 1 mp3 in directory:

C:\Music\Soundtrack\Track1.mp3

Placed image in 2 locations for testing.

C:\Music\Soundtrack\Soundtrack.jpg
C:\Music\Soundtrack.jpg

Loaded FrodoPlayer and went to setup.

Check -- Album Art Enabled
Bullet -- Album Art on Play

Selected Database and choose the proper location

C:\Music

Frodoplayer finds the track1.mp3 and it shows up. When playing I click on the visualization and switch it from vis --> mp3 info --> album art. Only default image is there. The note with the filmstrip underneath.

Does the album art have to be any specific format or size? Does the extension need to be added under extensions --> database for the image format?

Make sure the album covers are ALL called "ALBUM.JPG" and not 'album name'.JPG where each has the name of the album. The album art utility I had pulled them off the internet with the album name as filename.

Correct!

I did the same thing Learic did and got the same results.

Thanks

it must be literally "album.jpg"

**NorthGaVigor** · 06-18-2004, 11:12 AM

This is what i did:

Created folder called "Media" on "C:"

Put 1 mp3 file inside and 1 "album.jpg" file inside.

Changed database inside FrodoPlayer to "C:/media".

Still same result.
