| Summary | 0002475: Album Art: Windows Media Player Album Art isn't imported correctly | ||||
| Description | According to a couple of users, Album Art that has been saved by Windows Media Player isn't imported into MediaMonkey, making migration difficult. One user indicated that this is likely due to the fact tha Album Art images are stored with the attribute 'hidden'. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Fixed in build | 1062 | ||||

Note: for each Album, WMP stores the following to the directory: AlbumArt_{65A15645-BF54-4CFF-AC0D-E3CF3F2EEBE2}_Large.jpg AlbumArt_{65A15645-BF54-4CFF-AC0D-E3CF3F2EEBE2}_Small.jpg AlbumArtSmall.jpg Folder.jpg I'm guessing that the WMP database includes describes links to the first two files for cases when tracks from more than one album co-exist within a folder. |
|
|
I'd suggest to still don't scan hidden files, with an exception of 'folder.jpg', so that we get album art to MM. (See AddToDatabaseRec() in MP3Utils.pas) |
|

From my testing, folder.jpg _is_ imported correctly most of the time, however, the problem occurs when there is other album art and MM imports all of it, BUT preferentially displays art other than that which the user selected as the default. e.g. -User selects default art to be saved/read as folder.jpg -User scans a folder containing folder.jpg and back.jpg -User views tracks from the album in MediaMonkey and --->Back.jpg is shown as the default image instead of folder.jpg! I would suggest that MM should have some sort of 'priority' list for importing artwork. That way, when there are multiple artwork images, only 1 relevant image is imported for each type: e.g. Front Cover: 1) whatever the user has configured (default: folder.jpg) 2) front.jpg 3) cover.jpg Back Cover: 4) back.jpg Inlay: 5) inlay.jpg NOTE: -Only 1 image per each type can be imported. -The only time that an image other than the front cover should be shown as the default is if the front cover doesn't exist |

I'd say that it's unnecessarily complex, although it might be useful in some cases, for most users it should be enough to simply consider 'folder.jpg' as front cover image. I already implemented it in build 1035 based on another suggestion from a user. |
|
|
Tagging as resolved--I'll see what you implemented. |
|
|
Tested 1049 as follows: 1) Placed the following in a single directory: xx.mp3 folder.jpg back.jgp 2) Scanned the directory --> back.jpg was treated as the main image for the track instead of folder.jpg!! |
|
|
Fixed in build 1051. |
|
|
Tested with 1061 using directory provided by a user. For some reason, the Album Art from that directory doesn't get associated with the files. Posting directory to the ftp server. |
|
|
Fixed in build 1062. - _Hidden_ folder.jpg wasn't properly scanned. |

|
Verified 1062. |
