Here goes: I am trying to set up MediaPortal to use the Audioscrobbler plugin to download artist images and album art. My MP3 collection only have a few albums where the folder.jpg file is there. For the rest of the albums there are no album art. On disk, my collection is sorted like this: \Data\Music\Artist\Album\[mp3-files] I was under the impression that the Audioscrobbler plugin would download artist and album art and place them in folder.jpg files. However, this does not seem to be correct. What I have seen, looks more like Audioscrobbler is embedding the art into the mp3-files. I am not that keen on that solution, because I am afraid of file corruption occurring at some point. But also, I don't get any artist or cover art this way. I was hoping that Audioscrobbler could help me with that, but maybe I am wrong. So I was expecting this result: ...\Dire Straits --> folder.jpg with image of Dire Straits ...\Dire Straits\Brothers in Arms --> folder.jpg with cover of the album (the guitar) ...\Dire Straits\Private Investigations --> folder-jpg with cover of the album What I get with Audioscrobbler is apparently album art embedded in each track - which I would rather avoid :-) Is it at all possible to get Audioscrobbler to place a folder.jpg file in the correct folder? Or should I be looking at another utility for that job? If so, could anybody please recommend a utility to use? Any help is appreciated, thank you. Regards, Simon [/QUOTE]
