Just embed the artwork into the the tracks and SlimServer will see them properly. iTunes uses correct album art tags just like any reputable tagger out there. But it doesn't add the artwork automatically into the track's metadata if you only use the "Get Album Artwork" feature. In that case it stores the album art in its own external library files.
Adding the artwork into each track's metadata is much more useful than having jpegs scattered through-out various folders that aren't useful to any other software and don't follow your music around. If using Mac OS you can download a script to automatically re-embed the artwork for any track(s) selected in iTunes: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php?page=1#trackswithoutartwork If you want to do it yourself manually, you just need to select the artwork in the preview window at the bottom left of the iTunes window, COPY it and then PASTE it into one or more tracks using the "Get Info" window. This is really old news and it would be nice if people would just stop griping about this rather minor annoyance with iTunes: http://twistedmelon.com/blog/sep2006.html#09230601 -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39109 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
