Alternatively, there are utility apps for managing your iTunes library -
including features to export artwork. I found one via google - sorry
don't have the name to hand. Then you can keep your artwork separate
from the audio files or embed it using utilities such as mp3tag. Tons of
info in the ripping/managing forum. Good luck.

[SlimDevices: Radio] album art but I've got a NAS

2010-02-23 Thread padzster

Hi
Just got my squeezebox radio which i LOVE.
I've just got a question about album art. Before I go on let me tell
you my setup:

I've got my music on my QNAP NAS on \\qmultimedia\music\artist\album
I only use iTunes for ipod  pc access so my iTunes library is located
on my PC accessing the music library on the NAS. I used the Get Artwork
function from iTunes to get various album artwork. I have since noticed
that there is an artwork directory under \MyMusic\iTunes\AlbumArtwork. 

Now on my Squeezebox radio some albums are coming up with artwork but
others (which have art on itunes) aren't. Does that make sense? I'm just
wondering where the SB Radio is accessing the artwork files from.
Ideally I would like to be able to add artwork for all tracks so would
like to find out the ideal location to store them.

Finally, is there some program or more automatic way of getting pics,
and putting them in the right place for every single album, or even
track???

Thanks in advance!

Have you set the experimental option in SB Server for extract artwork
from iTunes?

Couldn't find that. By experimental did you mean longed for?

Go to the Squeezebox Server webpage-

Settings button (lower right of screen)-

iTunes tab-

Check the box that says Extract iTunes Artwork (Experimental)-

Click Apply-

Report back if this helps.

P.S.  Squeezebox Server has to be set up for iTunes for this to work,
but it's not that difficult to set up.  You can simply copy your
Library.XML into the NAS and point Squeezebox Server at it, just make
sure that the media path matches the library path for the songs and it
should work.
