Cover Art from iTunes Library?

[jerrylasala]

Hi,

I'm using Subsonic to stream my iTunes library. All the albums in the library have cover art, but Subsonic is missing about 10% of the artwork and displaying wrong artwork for about another 5%. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Jerry

I'll be honest, I'm typing this on my iPad, but I make it a point to avoid iTunes. In fact, Subsonic is one of the things that allows me to keep a nice comfortable distance from the software. As I'm on my iPad I'm not able to look at a copy of iTunes or an iTunes library to verify but here is some information you may find useful.

Subsonic is usually able to read album art that is embedded in music files, or in the folder it will look for "cover.jpg" or "folder.jpg" (as well as a few other extensions, I know PNG and GIF work too).

I'm not sure offhand if iTunes embeds cover art, or if it uses some kind of hidden files to store album art. I'm pretty sure it uses hidden files.

The filenames Subsonic looks at for album art are user configured in your Settings panel on Subsonic. Try finding out how your album art image files are named, and properly configuring Subsonic to look for them.
