Hi,

Problem Description: Not sure if this is a feature or not, but most of my album art was present when I imported all of my music from iTunes. However, there are about 30% of my songswhich have no album art - some is obscure, so if it does autodownload I can see why some are missed. But for others, if I click the little change icon below the blank album art, it will have artwork provided by last.fm.

How do I enable this feature to run through my entire album, because I would not like to sit and go through my entire collection checking for album art and clicking several boxes. I apologise if this has already been asked, I had a good scour through the threads and on the web and couldn't find anything that gave me an answer.

Troubleshooting Steps: Searched threads, checked all settings I can find

I could be wrong, but I do not believe Subsonic automatically downloads album art. It will try to get this from your folders (e.g. cover.jpg, artwork.png, etc.), and I've even seen it seem to get this from artwork embedded in the ID3 tag. If it does not do this, then you need to manually download it.

In previous versions Subsonic would automatically download albumcovers, but this would often lead to incorrect results or worse pictures than I allready had. So I'm very happy with Subsonic not downloading covers anymore.
