Okay I have spent a couple of hours trying to get this to work and browsing the forums so I guess I get to be a newbie here and figure out if my assumptions are correct and if I am just doing something wrong.
First of all, my setup, using an XP computer running the latest service updates and all that.
I use media monkey to manage my songs and have several embedded lyrics and album covers and stuff, there is also some non embedded artwork in the music file along the likes of AlbumArt_{0C74518B-6B4D-4AE0-A361-7B4F2AD8350D}_Large.jpg as the filename which if anyone cares is an erasure cover, who rocks btw
Anyway, album images are just only working for folders and not really for anything else.
For example, most of my music (like 1500 songs) are in one directory called mp3s renamed and sorted and that gives one cover. It seems that even though I have album artwork for the individual mp3 tags in the songs that media monkey can read, subsonic chokes on these and cannot come up with the proper artwork.
I have a few folders with smaller amounts of mp3s like 10 and it assigns a artwork to that folder, but it will not assign it to each mp3.
So is there any way to get the art for the mp3s without creating a gazillion directories and not using linux, which I do not have available? I am pretty technical and just found this software which is really cool, but I hate not being able to view all the artwork I spent so many hours and days uploading.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Other than this issue, everything else seems to work fine. Port forwarding (manual not unp_p_) and all the other setup went as in the instructions
Also for anyone searching on artwork hope this saves some time, if you have set you mp3 folder as the root folder and like me have all your files with not more folders in that folder and no subfolders, you will only get one album image. It seems that is by design, so for me i went one folder up from mp3s renamed and sorted to the higher directory and at least saw that folder with the files showing up in the window. I found that out in my first hour of searching.
I am hoping there is an easy fix to this, it sounds like several other people beside me are have their mp3s in huge directories instead of subfolders for each album and I am just missing something.
Thanks in advance for your help guys. Like I said, I really tried before posting this issue.
Oh and yes, I rebuilt the index about a thousand times, I cannot figure out why the program can read the album covers but only for the folders and not the individual mp3s and assume I am missing something.
