Re: album cover database



not exactly sure what your asking, but I'll try and offer some info... by
default your my music folder in my documents is where your music should be
so everything is nice and tidy in one location (however you can have music
anywhee and add different locations within media center, or media player)
which is easiest to maintain, and work with. media center/ media player
looks up info and imports it from AMG (All Media Guide) online and stores
album art in the location where the music files reside, but they are hidden
image files. Now the automatic functionallity of media center/ media player
is hit and miss at getting information and album art. what I mean is it does
not always get the correct info and/or album art, at least that has been my
personal experience. So I do thing the hard way and manage all information
and album art manually to ensure it is all correct. A big task that most
would not indulge in, especially when managing some 20,000 song collections.
While I seemed to have babbled a bit here, I hope somehow I have helped
answer your question.

i would like to know if there is any way to view the album cover database
and
see how the albums are named in the database, so media center will
generate
the covers for the albums
