Removable Drive Artwork

Post by partymonster »

I'm running MediaMonkey 4.130.1914.
Use a thumb drive for my car audio. The artwork shows on my car's display, but not when I connect the drive to my PC, and open in MM. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Hi Party Monster,

I think this is how it works.

If you copy a file or two from your USB drive to a PC folder that is scanned by MMW4 then view then you will see the artwork.

In my case I have a folder E:\Downloads which I have set to Scan Continuously in the File / Add Rescan Folders dialogue box. I use this as the initial location for fresh album downloads. I then "auto-organise" to an Music/Artist/Album folder after analysing the volume, setting the beats per minute and adding lyrics.

On my setup "devices" when browsed have no artwork but the same files from the device placed into a "scanned" folder" shows the artwork.

Hope this helps.
