Folder.jpg
« on: April 17, 2004, 02:44:00 AM »
All my folders  in music have a Folder.jpg with the cover of the CD. But some dont show up when i browse "my music", but they appear when brosing the same directory using "my files" and there some of the other folders doesnt show any image at all, not even default.

Is there a certain size that they must be???

No - they don't have to be in a certain size. The only requirement I have noticed is that the are to be in jpeg format.  <

I reckon Mr "Up in smoke" talk about converting the jpeg to jpeg. Not a great idea. Why not download the album art that refuses to work again? Perhaps from another location.  <

I believe the folder.jpg files are supporsed to be 64 by 64 pixels. Anything larger than that will be resized down tp that size.  <

I have the same problem, it's not the image format. There is a definate pattern in my case.  

All album art uptil albums that start with N and after that do not show. According to the Bug list this was fixed on the 11th april, still not working for me though, using a build from the 14th.  <

I've had trouble with this too..
As soon as I place a "Folder.jpg" into a folder, the thunbnail changes to completely transparent. Tried jpg, png, renaming various files to .tbn, etc etc...

Still havent worked it out ...  <

I tried playing an album with Simple Minds (clearly beyond the "N limit") that had a "folder.jpg" in it. Shows up without a problem. I'm using a build from around april 11.  <

Yeah I'm pretty sure if I delete some albums prior to N more will show up later in the alphabet :) I think it's just a coincidence of some sort that it stops there. I got (almost) all my album art from the same place (www.cdnow.com) so I don't know. Will wait for next "official" release and start to worry after that.
