UnitiServe Artwork solution. NOW!!!!!

I would certainly try the Rebuild DB and Purge Images options to see if this restores your artwork. You could also try using Bulk CDDB Lookup, to see if it finds any missing artwork, although I've never tried using this. Have you by any chance edited any CD rips using DBPoweramp?

I need an artwork solution. I am now using the unitiserve as a server to the SIMAUDIO MOON DAC and I am inheriting all this beautiful music with missing cover art. The more files I add the more artwork disappears, even the old artwork is beginning to disappear. For a while I left the Unitiserve and used DBPowerAmp Asset, and the artwork restored itself. I even converted all my Naim ripped files to flac, and their covers where copied down and renamed folder.jpg. However now I found that the Unitiserve server has tighter bass and wider staging than the DBPowerAmp Asset. The UnitiServe serves it better. So I am back to the old artwork problem. Would it be worth while  to use the Naim Desktop Client to purge the image database. Would this rebuild the database using the folder.jpgs reliably?  I thought I'd should ask before I tried.

 

you must use desktop client. I have the serve too.

Hi,

It isn't easy to tell from your posting - did you stop using your UnitiServe for a period and move to dBpoweramp as your UPnP server?

If so have you been editing files using something other than the UnitiServe and Desktop Client and then gone back to the UnitiServe?

You say you are adding files - how are you adding files and where are you adding them to? Is this ripping new CDs or downloaded music?

You say that you are inheriting music - where is it coming from?

Is this a UnitiServe HDD or SSD?

If you are talking about CD rips then are you ripping as WAV or FLAC?

Where are you getting artwork disappearing from? The Desktop Client app itself?

Best

That's no good Phil. He wanted the answer NOW, not a load of questions 17 hours later. What sort of service is that?

Being a software engineer since 1983 I should have figured it out. THE PURGE fixed everything. The image database integrity like most of the databases will decline with use and time. The only sure way to regain acceptable cover art functionality is to delete and rebuild the database. Fragmentation eliminated. A shiny new image database functions perfectly.
