www.albumart.org is a good resource for your artwork. I find it contains a lot of covers that album art exchange doesn't have. If that fails, Amazon probably can't help either but a Google Images search can be very effective. What I have found works for me is to keep the artwork as an

a single artwork file within each album subdirectory will work. It can be named simply folder.jpg or cover.jpg. The critical aspect is that it be inside the folder with the album tracks. Alternatively, you can embed the artwork into each FLAC track. mp3tag can do this for you. -- garym

I had a similar problem at one point. It was easily solved by rotating the router antenna in a vertical plane so that it points down (my router is upstairs, the listening room downstairs). Never had another re-buffering after that with any resolution file. Guido F. -- guidof *Front End*:
