[QUOTE="mackal, post: 109432, member: 29980"] After poking around some more, I think you're right, it is something to do with poorly tagged MP3s... I have turned on caching of thumbs and rebuilt the Music DB. Now only music files with incomplete tagging information (e.g., artist unknown) have no cover displayed in Now Playing. I guess I don't quite understand how MP deals with cover art. I thought that like most other players, a folder.jpg in a directory specifies the cover art for all songs in that directory. To some degree this is what I've seen in most parts of MP, but not in Now Playing. I guess unlike the other cover art displays in MP, Now Playing only consults the thumbnail cache, keyed by artist and title... Hmm, given that I have a lot of poorly tagged music directories, each with a hand picked folder.jpg, what would be the best settings for me to use for this? Can Now Playing be made to bypass cache and just read folder.jpg directly? [/QUOTE]
