I wonder if the fix is already in latest firmware? This bug is actually
quite anno
I find that embedding the artwork is rock solid, at the expense of more
disk space used.
It doesn't require a full rescan to spot changes to artwork this way,
as it will detect the changes to files after a regular scan for new and
changed, so is definitely the simplest way to manage your artwork.
You can also use both.:)
Although embedded is rock-solid, I also like to see the cover-art.jpg
if I look with a pc in the album-directory.

Absolutely. In fact that's the perfect solution. Use the NAS for its
intended purpose (storage) and use the laptop for what its intended

I think you are confusing www.MySqueezeBox.com (MySB) and SqueezeBox
Server (SBS) on your computer. Each player can only be connected to
one server at a time.
Each server has it's own web UI control.

I know the difference between the two servers, and how to confirm which

It would actually be reasonably easy to write a script to traverse down
the directories and call metaflac to embed the cover art in each flac
file in directories which have a cover.jpg file.
You could always leave cover.jpg there afterwards for the benefit of
Windows, as SBS will then ignore it.
Unfortunately, it won't connect to my PC from My Musicclearly I have
a confused path somewhereand as Squeezebox Server won't connectI

I think SBS 7.6 with respect to improved handling of cover art is more

Exactly. That's why I was thinking of a script!
What you need to do is to recurse into each directory down your music
path and execute the following:
metaflac --import-picture-from=cover.jpg *.flac
That will import cover.jpg into all the flac files in that directory.

You would probably not hear any difference between FLAC and well ripped
MP3's on a $150 computer speaker set.
But as with all things audio it is subjective. It's also easy to try
for yourself, rip a couple of FLACS and compare them to their MP3
sibling. ;)

The touch is a marvelous piece of kit for an unbelievably cheap price
for what it does. But it does require a decent server. A low powered

I took the upgrade to 7.5.4 last night and now the response from the UI
and the SqueezeBox Touch in general is really slow and patchy.
Adding music to the current playlist is painful, with browsing folders
on the internal SD Card (only 8Gig of music) is taking up to 25 secs.
