Impromptu - Help Needed

Posted by: Camlan on 08 February 2015

Can anybody who has downloaded this album from Sound Liaison explain to me how they got the album art on to Unitiserve. I have tried everything, Metadatics (where I can see the album art) the lot, with no success and I am losing the will to live!

Before you put the album into the Serve download folder, find a JPEG copy of the album art on the web. Put it in the folder with the music, and call it 'folder', with no extensions. Then put the whole folder into the serve.

Call the album art file "folder.jpg"  and put it in the same folder with the music files.  It may take the uServe a little bit to index it.  I've sometimes added new albums to my downloads folder, and the album appears first but no artwork.  If using nServe on OS X you can ask it to refresh the album art, which works.  But it's normal to see a little lag with album art not appearing as soon as the album itself does in the iOS app.
