By default, and to conserve bandwidth, SAM will only upload album covers when you tell it to, either manually one at a time via the Song Information editor, or in bulk via the Upload Album covers menu item.
At the current time each track has its own associated album cover. Festerhead has a nice little script called condition album covers, which simply takes say, the 23 covers from LZ and condenses it down into one cover for all 23 tracks. This PAL script does work to an extent, I have tried it with about a 98% success rate, but as always, your mileage may vary. I know this topic has been brought up many times and is something Louis has told us "I am aware of and looking into". This means he knows about the pros and cons of each way, and will decide on how he wants the newest version of SAM to handle it. I hope this answers everyone's questions. James Henline.

I had to consolidate 23 different versions to make one standard... or it would copy up the other 22 covers. Is there a generally accepted way to have an album have the same exact cover... I've used covers from Amazon & Audiograbber's db and now using Media Monkey to populate all my mp3's. I'm moving SAM to an XP Box next month and consolidating the albums jpg's is on the to-do list.
