[QUOTE="rtv, post: 271006, member: 12309"] Did you rescan the shares from the config app or from within MP? It's a bit stupid that the wiki isn't updated for this important section... "Use _existing_ albums thumbs to" [create artists preview thumbs] does exactly what it reads - if you do not want to use a collection of album pics to identify artists you have to populate the \thumbs\artist dir by yourself or use the audioscrobbler artist art grabber. The folder.jpg is used everywhere where applicable. This mechanism does work and is a common standard among many apps. This is why MP can even create a folder.jpg in your album directories if it has images in its \thumbs dir. Embedding into mp3s comes with another disadvantage: The standard expects only 64x64 px thumbs to be embedded - therefore there may be problems with other players if you embed too big pictures.
