Artwork missing when download from LINN, shows only the NAIM default picture !

Posted by: kiba on 30 July 2011

When ripping using U-Server + NAS and sometimes missing the artwork, I'm using the Naim Destop Client and upload artwork from the Net, this is working okay. But now I have downloaded from the LINN store  unto a share on the NAS. Music is okay but missing art work. Then tried uploading as for ripped CD using  Naim Desktop client, but no results, the artwork is there but it's not shown neider in Naim desk top client or using N-server apl on my IPAD, what am I doing wrong ?? (Has downloaded from NAIM store and this is working okay)

Does the picture not have to a file name such as folder.jpg or cover.jpg in order to display on the Naim kit? for my HDXit certainly does. Or I can edit the permissible file names etc in the Desktop Client software.

If memory serves me well the Linn music downloads leave you with a PNG file - either convert that in e.g. Adobe Photoshop Elements , or coy and rename a Jpg file from e.g. the Amazon music store.

Hope this helps.

I download from the net a .JPG file A's for the CD rips ( when I missed the artwork here - so I'm doing the same - only dif is that the music is not located at a Music store, but on the separate share on the NAS)

Ah the joy of using Vortexbox with Bliss to handle issues like cover art and file organisation whilst one quaffs another glass of wine. Tog

You can't add artwork to Network Share-resident music - this needs to be done manually by dumping the folder.jpg album artwork into the album folder.

Have now copied the artwork .jpg directly into the NAS shared folder, the folder where the music is placed. In this folder there were allready a infanview png file. But still not working. Has looked into the folder where downloads from Naim store were, and there allso were a intview PNG file, and this is working !
