When using external Artwork it is best to use Album folders and not store files from multiple Albums in the same folder.

There is no such thing as 'Composition' so I use Album for it. One can have multiple composition on one CD and I would find it a bit clumsy to create subdirectories for roughly 10.000 albums, given the fact that MM can tag as I want. Its just not able to do it when a path changes or files are removed and added back again. I really like MM and would like to keep it that way. Please have a look at it; trust me, it's a bug, and a nasty one for me and probably other users.

A) Scanning Artwork automatically only works with Artwork in the Album folder with no files from other Albums in them. There is no way around this.
B) When moving files, MediaMonkey will offer to move accompanying files like Artwork when all media files are removed from the folder.
C) If you embed Art you don't run into any of these issues. When using external Art you'll need to follow some basic rules to get the best experience.
