I resolved the problem.The squeezebox server was not playing nice with safari web browser.Clearing the safari cache and resetting safari on my mac completely resolved the artwork issue. I certainly didnt expect this but it did work My suggestion to anyone having artwork issue on a mac or pc is t

I don't embed my art but that does sound a weird problem. I take it you have deleted the cache etc before doing a full rescan? Are you saying that it's messed up in the SB server screen or on the SB Radio screen (or both?) -- stevedresden ---

Yes I have cleaned the cache and then done a full rescan. The problem is both on the web page and the radio,ipeng(after a cache clean) Logitech really needs to rethink the artwork scanning process. I can't Believe I'm the only one with this type of issue. -- jhonsber...@msn.com

OK - I *think* I got to the bottom of this - when you scan for new and changed, it checks for new music files and music files with a different timestamp/size to that in the database. If you have just added the cover.jpg to the folder and not edited the file in anyway then it won't pick it up in t

Not sure how the scan determines new and changed files and whether this is limited just to music files ie. it will pick up if you embed cover art into your music files and it doesnt look for new folder.jpg files that have been added into directories. You can use the rescan plugin and have it do a

Did a bit more digging through the database and it looks like the COVER field in the TRACKS table is only populated for the first track in an album All the other tracks in that album seem to pick up their cover from the ARTWORK field in the ALBUMS table. This field contains the ID of the track in
