Title: Art work for Music Collections ?
Post by: wobbly on April 30, 2017, 09:40:51 PM
can music be display Art work for Music Collections ?

i have lot of Music Collections that are just folders  full of mp3 that all have cover art in tags ... can i  have one  thumbnail for the Collection?  and keep the art work for  each track or let say you have a boxset that has nice art work that is not the same as album cover 1 - 10 or whatever

maybe ive missed it

You sure can.
If you embed artwork into the file, just select the files and go into the tag editor,
select the Artwork tab
select add
locate the artwork you want to use
select 'embed the picture'
select the picture type and add a comment if you want to eg. Leaflet - page 1
select if it's the primary picture to be displayed

If you link your artwork, do the same but place all the artwork into the album folder before you start and use the "link to the original picture file" option.

I've found it's best to work in reverse order of artwork importance; i.e. start with track level artwork, then album, then boxset.
Sometimes (very occasionaly) if you go the other way, MB will wipe the lower-level artwork if you save the artwork in the other order.
