Hi Rob, Thanks for taking the time to read my post and to reply. Also, thanks for the plugin. I use it every day and it's one of the main reasons I use Quicksilver.
I found that the problem was not in fact with your plugin or with Quicksilver, as you stated, but was cased by iTunes. I found that the mp3s in the finder were also showing a generic icon. It took some searching but I found this thread<https://discussions.apple.com/message/20202682#20202682#20202682>which offered a solution that worked for me. Deleting my Voice Memos in the iTunes library and restarting iTunes did the trick. Album covers are now appearing again in the Finder and working properly with your plugin. I agree with your comment about ratings being embedded in the mp3 metadata. I just fear ever having to recover/rebuild my iTunes library and lose all of that work. I guess that's what constant backups are for. Thanks again for your reply. Also, I appreciate the link to Sloth. I usually use Discogs <http://www.discogs.com/> but Sloth looks like another great source. - Chris On Monday, October 8, 2012 6:02:13 AM UTC-7, Rob McBroom wrote: > > On Oct 6, 2012, at 2:48 AM, cjw333 <[email protected] <javascript:>> wrote: > > I wrote up this post which might help you out: > > > http://cjw333.blogspot.com/2010/03/mystery-solved-embedding-images-into.html > > although recently I seem to be having another problem with Quicksilver > showing iTunes album art properly. > > I'm running QS v ß70 (3935) > and v 2.1.6 of the iTunes Module > > I'm in search of a fix. > > > The problems discussed were from 2009.
