Same version The scans are just hours apart . Re cover art , the cover art folder is not used there is nothing in it , so the plugin must still have them in the cache ? If you have a defined artwork folder for the artist this will survive upgrades etc . Then I could replace No Artist picture once and be done . Could we also have the plugin looking for the generic picture for when it can't find any (the man with the horn) in this folder ? Default the plugin could simply place a copy of mr trumpet there and the user could then replace it . My plan is to use a transparent picture with nothing on it instead . The artist name is still there and I think the most neutral is simply to see the background instead of any picture at all. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
