I have MM5 Gold working on both a desktop (Win7) and a laptop (Win10). Virtually all ripping, organization, etc. are done on the desktop, while the laptop lives in the shop building as a player. I recently collected about thirty thrift-shop CDs on a trip, and ripped them on the desktop.
I have spent quite a bit of time in the past getting the album art correct on the desktop, and it seems to be okay, including the new stuff.
I decided to update the laptop player by copying the music files from the desktop to the laptop. After that was finished, I deleted the laptop database, and restarted MM5. After the database was rebuilt, I discovered that many albums now have incorrect artwork, and many of those with the correct artwork now have the "best guess" icon in the upper left corner.
Obviously, I don't understand how the tagging works - I thought that having the artwork correct in the desktop files would result in having the artwork correct in the copied files on the laptop.
What am I missing?
