Missing album art. HELP!

[thomasbruce]

i have a large music library with around 25 000 tracks and all of them have album cover artwork embedded in the music files but for some reason around 1/3 of them are not showing any album art at all, some show (in safari) a little blue icon telling me image was not loaded or found by the browser and other ones show me a white cover with a music note on it. is there a way to fix this? running latest build on mac os x 10.6.3

I'm having a similar issue. Here is an excerpt of my log. It will not download artwork from discogs.

I think I found what was causing my issue. Discogs must have a daily limit to how many requests it will allow for artwork. I'll try again tomorrow. Subsonic just showed me this error:
