There is an option if you want coverart embedded or not. It will then remove the cover art in automatic mode if I'm right. In manual mode it will flag those albums as 'uncompliant'. Be aware: even in manual mode Bliss will include covers for all albums that don't have one yet. Manual mode just 'protects' albums, that have some cover art already.

Where is your music stored? I have it on a USB drive connected to SheevaPlug, but can access all music via a network share from Mac and Windows. Though it was a bit slower I had Bliss running directly on the network share. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com) *!

Re: [slim] Tool to search for cover art in my library?
My music is stored on my NAS. Would bliss be installed on my remote PC and interface with my SqueezeServer via IP? I fear the Sheevaplug does not have the CPU power to run SqueezeServer and bliss simultaneously. -- SamS SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82205 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Tool to search for cover art in my library?
I made the mistake of ripping a number of CDs to my library for which I didn't scan the cover art right away. So now in my 1000+ library I have a bunch of CD rips with no cover art. So is there a cover art tool that can scan a drive and find directories that do NOT contain cover art files? -- tonyptony tonyptony's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82205 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
