I have read the threads and followed advice, spent days playing and can't find a way to get what I see as one of the most important aspects of SLIM and digital music to work. Important because I (alongside the 95% of population who do not know what a command line is) want to browse by images and loved the tactile quality of vinyl/cd covers. Hence we would like to print out a listing or booklet with pictures and names to browse by. You can hand it to a friend or partner and they can choose music by picture rather than words. In fact nowe I have ripped everything and stored cds in a box this is the last resort or she who must be obeyed is giving up on our music collection. To actually play music Slim is the best; but as to the rest!!!! All I want to do is; -get the correct images in the flac tag files. This I do well (I use Tag&Rename and Albumn Art Downloader although the latter has got flaky in latest release). It works if you have a collection of Robbie and John Jackson but forget it if you have anything non mainstream. For 400 albums this has taken we 4-5 man days! -It can be told to write %artist - %album.jpg but also puts in .folder.png and folder.png etc etc. -Fine but when I used an image database to collect everything from my music folder to print out as thumbnails it also collects the .png and all the folder.jpg files, so 3 images of everything. So I deleted all the 'unneccessary'images and then found that the wonderful java script that parses names and wites a pdf actually searches for the folder.jpg. As does Slim. OOOPS. So another 3 days with Album Art Downloader.
I think this must be one of the most frustrating issues but easiest for a decent programmer to resolve.
