Re: [slim] idiots guide to album artwork
If I understand your original query, all your artwork is visible in iTunes. There is no other place that it needs to be as the squeezebox server running on your computer will pick it up from iTunes provided the library is correctly linked (presumably it is as you can play the music). It may be that some artwork within iTunes is attached to individual tracks and not to the album, depending on how you've sourced and attached it in the first place. I've just spent many happy hours sourcing the correct artwork and attaching it to the albums in iTunes. Mostly I've scanned my album artwork out of the CD case, but also pinched some from Amazon, Play.com etc. If you can find the album with artwork in their catalogue then usually you can right-click on it and either Copy image or Save image as. Then to attach it to the album, there may be other ways but for me playing the album, then pressing ctrl-L to show it's information, opens the artwork pane bottom left. If there's no artwork it will have Drag artwork here. If you've saved from Amazon or a scan select your artwork in windows explorer etc. and drag into place. If you've copied the image (as per right-click + Copy image) then right-click over the artwork pane and click on Paste. Note that you can attach more than one image. I attach the cover art as the first image, then sometimes the listing (from scan) as a second. The main problem I've encountered is removing the wrong artwork attached automatically by iTunes; the Clear downloaded artwork doesn't always work. Then I think you have to either re-load the album without artwork and attach your own, or try deleting the .jpg files from the album folder in explorer. I hope this helps, if it isn't 100% correct doubtless someone more expert can pick that up.

Re: [slim] idiots guide to album artwork
u gotta tell us some more. music files format? operating system? if windows and mp3 the easiest thing is to set windows media player to monitor your music folder. it won't be 100% accurate, but it'll get you most of it. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 40k+ mp3 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78125 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
