are any of the missing CDs on squeezeboxserver purchased on ITUNES when they still had DRM (protected). These won't show up in SqueezeboxServer. I recommend that you don't select the "use itunes" option in SqueezeboxServer. Instead just tell it in the settings where your music library is located, and have it do a clear and rescan. p.s. if you ripped your cds with itunes, the artwork is not embedded in the files. Rather it is in a special ITUNES database. There are some free and cheap programs that can automatically take the artwork from the itunes database and embed into the files so that other programs (including Squeezebox Server) can see the art. Google for "icoverart" and search this forum for "embed artwork itunes" for some options. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85439 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
