Follow-up... confirmed this isn't (solely) related to QT 7.1.3. AAC/M4A tracks encoded under iTunes 7 (QT713) scan play fine if artwork is not embedded within the file (tracks with referenced artwork also okay). Once artwork is embedded, slimserver can't handle the track... although FAAD

The automatically download missing album artwork preference (and the get album artwork menu item) in iTunes 7 downloads artwork to a sub-folder in your iTunes folder and creates a pointer in the music file. Seems that artwork downloaded in this way is not detected by SlimServer (6.5b3 and

Its definitely related to using iTunes 7 to add album artwork to the file. I have some older AAC filed (ripped under older versions of iTunes) that I added artwork to recently to play with the new features in iTunes 7. The files that I embedded artwork in with iTunes 7 won't scan properly in

Yes, its in a different folder. But it doesn't keep the artwork as JPEGs, but as ITC files. I have no idea what those are. This should be helpful for the developers: http://blog.skuldtek.com/2006/09/16/albumartworkxtractor-extract-album-a rtwork-from-itunes-7/ A quick look at one of these files
