Cover Art Issue

Posted by: Penrose on 13 November 2013

I recently bought an NDX and copied all my cds to FLAC on my ReadyNAS 2 Server, using XLD. Being new to this I neglected to generate any metadata which led to N-Stream not listing Albums as such.

Using Metadatics I have now added the metadata and cover art, which for the most part has solved the issue. However, a few isolated albums do not show the cover art in album view (Just NAIM Disc) but if that album is selected it does appear in the individual album view. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

I get this on rare occasion. My solution is to recheck the tags and force a network shares refresh. Sometimes a couple. That does it. It's going to be the server rather than the NDX.

I get this occasionally from my uServe into nStream as well.  It seems that the individual album view updates faster than the image in the album list view.  Why that is . . . I have no idea.  But it eventually comes 'round.

It is only isolated albums that this is happening with. I have updated these files using Metadatics in exactly the same way as the others whose cover art does appear in album view. One of them is a 24bit download from Linn Records which has never shown the cover art in album view. This is unusual as before I updated my ripped FLAC files with metadata, the only albums which appeared on Album view were the downloaded 24bit ones. It's confusing!

I've had some issues with cover art.

 

There's this....

 

 

but then again, there's this....

 

 

Hard to say which is more egregious.

Slightly off topic here, I notice this last cover is issued on the Tamla label, odd as being a Motown connoissseur I've never come accross this one, tell me more?
