Message: <blockquote data-quote="1gkar" data-source="post: 696632" data-attributes="member: 53076">I realise this is a very old thread to be bringing up, but unless someone can point to a more relevant one, I believe there are still large, unresolved issues surrounding the music coding section of Mediaportal. I love the app, but the music section is easily the third-world cousin to other areas, such as the Moving Pictures & TV Series plugins.I have also read <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/listen-music-99/guide-music-section-mediaportal-77404/" target="_blank">Kiwijunglist's</a> thread, & for me, it does not cover what I would prefer my music section to look like. I do not want to have a single album covering 2, or more complete albums, as I don't have the time to listen to an entire two-disc title in one sitting, let alone a four-disc one. And I don't want the hassle of having to setup a playlist just to accomplish the task: just to press the <play> button on the remote of a highlighted album should be sufficient for anyone.I simply don't understand how MP looks for, & recognises coverart, as there appears to be major inconsistencies in the process, as the thumbnail shows. One double album is recognised, whilst the second is not. The editing shows how the album names are tagged exactly. So, why should one present coverart, whilst the other does not? This is representative of my complete collection. Some show up with coverart, whilst others do not, & it is totally irrelevant of the naming nomenclature.<img src="http://[URL=http://img213.imageshack.us/i/mediaportalmusicinconsi.jpg/][IMG]http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/5395/mediaportalmusicinconsi.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/URL][/IMG]The reason I have brought this up now, is I have just completed a total reinstall of my HTPC's WinXPSP3 OS, & just want a complete, working & optimised front-end. Is it that impossible to have a check-box, inside the MPConfig>Music which let users decide to separate multiple albums & have the coverart recognised?<img src="http://[URL=http://img262.imageshack.us/i/musicconfig.jpg/][IMG]http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/8211/musicconfig.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/URL][/IMG]I want to sign off with a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to one & all, especially to those coders of MediaPortal, StreamedMP (& other) skinner(s), & all the plugins that make this the best front-end there ever could be<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
