[QUOTE="Ben, post: 101840, member: 19473"] I started from scratch, deteled the database, and the files in thumbs (Albums and Artists). I then copied one artist to a new MP3 directory. This Artist has 15 albums . I created a new Folder.jpg with the right cover in each album directory. Also placed a Folder.jpg in the Artist directory. Went to setup, specified not to use MP3 tag coverart, 1dir per album and to use folder.jpg. What I expected was that after the scan these folder.jpg's are 'transfered 'with the album name to the thumbs\albums and the folder.jpg to the artist thumbs. Hit scan Checked the thumbs directory. There are 18 pictures in the album directory, it looks like 2 per Album, making 9 albums. Where are the pictures of the other 6 Albums? Checked the pictures of each album with its respective Folder.jpg. Wonder if it actually used the Folder.jpg at all, as the non-L version may wel be a compressed version of my original folder.jpg. The L (Large?) version looks like a inflated version of the smaller one, which is a pity as my original folder.jpg was smaller than the L but of far better quality than the small version. One of my albums directories also had another jpg (not just the Folder.jpg) in there, and it looks like it used that one to 'copy' to the thumbs directory. Why? But there are 2 pictures in there that are a mystery to me. One of my Album directories is called 'Indian Summer', it has a Folder.jpg with the right cover, so indeed in thumbs\albums I see this cover twice. But in thumbs I also see the same picture two more times with a different name namely 'Songs from the radio'. I have no Album (directory) with that name, I not even have a song with that name. So where does it come from? And it means I have one album art less in my thumbs so I miss the art of 7 albums. I also placed a Folder.jpg in the artist directory, it did not show up in the thumbs\artist, actually that directory is still empty. I guess it does need the id3 tags for everything? Just trying to understand how it works, if I know that, I can update my directories to get the database filled correctly. Thanks Ben [/QUOTE]
