Mike, thanks for the advice, which seems to have worked.  All's well
now.  And in the process of reconfiguring all my players, LMS add-ons,
etc, I suddenly remembered something I did not long before all hell
broke loose...

I don't store my music by album, but by artist.  So one directory can
hold several albums, and thus several cover images.  With default
settings, LMS simply displays the alphanumeric-first image file it finds
in a directory whose track it is playing.  I wanted it to display the
cover (if available) of the *actual album* that track is from (and most
of my tracks are tagged with Album, as well as Artist, Title, Genre and
ReplayGains.

I found this page on the subject, and despite being based on an obsolete
version of LMS, decided to give it a go.
https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Album_Artwork.html
So I added %ALBUM*.jpg in Settings/Advanced/Formatting/Artwork

I think the chaos might have started shortly after making that change
(and I failed to make the connection :-(   I wonder whether it might
have been an array overflow issue, because some of my album names are
long and I store the artwork files with no spaces or underscores between
words, just capitalised words followed by _cover or _front, etc.  Maybe
the software didn't handle long strings well when doing the album title
vs artwork filename comparison?

Anyway, I'll wait a few more days to ensure all the weird sporadic
problems are truly gone, and then maybe try this artwork specification
again to see what happens.
