[QUOTE="HomeY, post: 1117083, member: 68365"] [USER=10391]@hwahrmann[/USER] i'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong, or if there is an issue with the Database view. I've got an Album which exists of 7 CDs. Folder structure is like this: \\Music Share -| Ray Charles --| Pure Genius - The Complete Atlantic Recordings 1952-1959 (2005) ---| CD1 ---| CD2 ---| CD3 ---| CD4 ---| CD5 ---| CD6 ---| CD7 The root folder of the album has a generic folder.jpg for the album. Then did the following steps: [LIST=1] [*]Removed music database [*]checked tags for the Album (7 CDs all tagged with their own cover) [*]cleared Music thumbs [*]ran dB import ('[B]cover art embedded in ID3-Tags[/B]' checked) [/LIST] 1 thumb is created in my [FONT=Courier New]\thumbs\Music\Albums[/FONT] folder, which has the cover of the first CD, and all CDs in GUI show the same cover (View by: Album Artists). Browsing the individual tracks of a CD does show the correct cover! When i also enable '[B]create missing folder.jpg[/B]' then the folder.jpg created in each CD folder has the correct cover. (y) Then in MP GUI i select Shares view, and then i have an album cover for the album, and different covers for the CDs, but this only works in Shares view, not in database (AlbumArtists) view. Am i doing something wrong or is this supposed to work like this? [/QUOTE]
