Michael. I have a query. Whenever I do a scan for updated and changed files my NAS (which is running the latest 7.9) seems to insist on rescannign the artist pictures from scratch. Should it be doing that? It seems a bit silly when I am only adding one album.

Michael: Please understand that with libraries composed of flacs-with-embedded-cuesheets, there is no album folder per-se. An album is a single file and it's usually stored in the artist folder, i.e. the album file resides in the same folder as the bio.html file. Ah, that should be fine: I was

Michael, When I display the Local Artwork on a Win 7 box the file names are sorted in ascending order. On my Vortexbox, the same Local Artwork files are not sorted. That is OK if there are only a few files, but for multi page booklets it is more use if they are sorted. Makes sense - noted. --
