Re: [slim] idiots guide to album artwork

2010-05-02 Thread BonzoUK

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.

Good luck

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.
