[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 527302, member: 76888"] Works perfectly on 95% of my music, thanks!!!! It failed on a few artists with The prefix. i have "The Smashing Pumpkins" subfolder and "The Smashing PumpkinsL.jpg", so that works fine. i have "The Mint Chicks" subfolder and have "Mint ChicksL.jpg" so that doesn't work. Mediaportal or audioscrobber plugins strips the 'The' prefix from some artists but not all. It also failed on a couple of compilation albums however that is because mediaportal grabs arist images not album artist images, and i can't see an uncomplicated way around this problem. Therefore i can suggest one improvement [code] 1. User select root music folder %rootfolder% 2. Applications scans the name of each of %rootfolder%'s level 1 subfolder and stores it as %subfoldername% 3. If exist C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Music\Artists\%subfoldername%L.jpg then copy that file to %rootfolder%\%subfoldername%\folder.jpg 4. if notexist C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Music\Artists\%subfoldername%L.jpg AND first four letters of %subfoldername% = "The " Then 4a. %shortartistname% = %subfodlername% less first 4 characters 4b. If exist C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Music\Artists\[B]%shortartistname%L.jpg[/B] then copy that file to %rootfolder%\%subfoldername%\folder.jpg[/code] [/QUOTE]
