Over the last day or two i've noticed that each time i access any folder, they no longer show the album cover, further, in the folder, there's a sub folder called disc1, disc 2 etc, these also showed the files inside as a front cover. given that i have over 10,000 albums, all following that format, i'm hoping theres nothing going on worse than a setting. i've gone to control panel, folder options but can't see anything that has changed....... somebody give us a clue?!1 cheers Stool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also view the folders and files as large icons first. If you add any folder that is not coming up with a picture as you want just add it to your library.

You could pick a folder at a time to add it. You may want to check to see if it is not already there first. Adding twice may just add copies.

As you can see in the folder tree, i'm accessing the folders in the main view from the D drive. I never use Libraries. The folders in the pictures are a few of whats left, i did have over 10,000 folders all looking like the "PN'd" one. That particular folder contains a sub folder called "Disc 1" It also contains the artwork for that album, in this case Kiss, called Front, Back, Disc, Inlay. It also contains a copy of the "Front", which has been renamed "Folder" thus giving me the picture on the folder. The folder above it, "Mastermix-TV etc" contains only MP3 files which have not yet been tagged so the files are represented with the standard .mp3 icon. It also contains a single .jpg file called "cover", so as you can see, by simply looking at the folder, i can tell immeadiately that that folder/album has not been tagged because it shows the mp3 icon as well as the "cover" (it also looks pretty :-) ) Were i to change the name of that jpg filename to "Folder", it would show ONLY that picture. Currently, practically all my folders now look like the folder "MediaGo" which is really pissing me off..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
