Cant add album art to FLAC

Post by marcpapp »

I have a buffalo terastation taht I am using with a new sonos unit. I am saving all files to FLAC

I cannot tag album art.

When I move the CD into my library, I then hit autotag. I hit options, and select "save image to tag" but when I hit the "autoptag" button to start the process a pop up appears, and with two options: (i) "save image to album folder" and (ii) "save image to common folder" BUT THE "SAVE Image to TAG" option cannot be selected.

Can someone please tell me how to tag and or/why I cannot autotag?

Am I following teh correct process of adding albums to my terastation: (i) insert CD, (ii) move it to library, (iii) autotag library, and (iv) rip to harddrive?

I am able to rip CD to my hard drive and have sonos read the album name and song totle - just no art. Thanks in advance

For now MediaMonkey do not support Album Art in tags FLAC as we haven't find good and resonable stable way (due compatibility) hgow to implement in FLAC but surely we track that and the seek for solutions continues.

So for now you should save to the album folder. The good news is that there is a script that can move files from folder to tag for when the developers add support for album art in FLAC tags.

This Should Be included with support of FLAC 1.1.3 which included Album art support.
