Missing Album art in Rio
Posted by: CariocaJeff on 27 November 2011
Hi,
Apologies but I guess this could be boring topic for many.
Became an exile earlier this year when moved out to Rio for a couple of years.
First priority when I decided to go was my music and a half decent hifi.
I bought a uniti and pair of Totam speakers, and brought my music on a QNAP TS-210 NAS with twonky installed. The music is all in FLAC ripped off my mac mini using MAX.
System arrived in rio and when connected worked a dream right from the off. Really impressed with the uniti. Typical Naim open sound.
Only problem I have is that when using the n-stream app on my ipad I get virtually no cover art. Only cover art I get is for some of the hi-res downloads I have bought from Naim, Linn and HDTracks, plus odd ones from the rips I made. Looked many times for the difference in folders between the odd files I ripped that work, and this mass that don't and cant see any difference.
Being as blind as a bat and therefore having to put my specs on everytime I want to choose a new album is a pain. Any advice on what I have or am doing wrong to get the covers, which I will able to see, would be much appreciated.
At home I'm still using tri-amped isobariks, but bought myself an HDX last time I was home. Heard some focal scala Utopias early this year with a 552/500 which blew me away. Hence my couple of years in brazil to save up!!
Hoping someone can help relieve my cover art frustration,
Thanks
Jeff
