Artwork Driving Me Crazy
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2022 12:51 pm
Someone please help a newbie geriatric deal with this!!
I am obsessive about having the correct album art on every album in my very large collection. When I scan an album into MM5 and go to Properties Artwork Lookup Image and the correct album cover is found, everything works fine. I store the artwork .jpg in the album's folder. Every album folder contains a file named "folder.jpg" containing the artwork.
The problem I have is when MM5 does not find the correct album cover. When this happens I go on the web and find the cover art. Discogs is a good source. I save the .jpg file to the appropriate file folder and name it "folder.jpg". Then when I open the Artwork app I BROWSE to locate the "folder.jpg" file in the correct album folder.
THIS IS WHERE I NEED INSTRUCTION HELP.
When I save the file I browsed to, MM saves the file as "folder 2", leaving the original "folder" file in place. I don't want this to happen. HOW CAN I JUST GET MM TO ACCESS THE THE ART FILE AND PLUG IT IN?
Often the program comes back with a file named "Album Name Location.THM" I don't know what a THM file is.
Please help an old man stay sane.
