Album art and Composer keyword ...not recognized

[maab]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here and I am a new registered user of dbpoweramp.
Before I learned about this application I was using two different programs, EAC and Mediamonkey to rip and tag art and keywords and I found that process quite tedious. Soon as I learned about dbpoweramp I jumped on the idea of having one program doing it all from start, it's just great and intuitive.

But now I encountered a couple of hiccups and before it is too late I would like a bit of help. I already ripped 30 cds from my classical music collection via db to Flac and I realized that my front end is not displaying the album art and the composer's keyword.

Perhaps I missed something in the configuration process? the jpeg seats in the same folder with the flac files.

I would greatly appreaciate your help.
Thank you

There is a folder.jpg and also it is embedded into the flac file. What is your front end?

Right click on a flac file >> Edit ID tag that will show the tags contained within.

My front end is pre-pro network enabled Denon A1hdci along with twonky server (on the pc for the moment). I can see the jpeg in the folder but it is not seen. Also, when I used to use EAC i was able to add the artwork via mediamonkey and it worked. Interestingly I did "replace" the current db's genetated jpeg with the one generated by mediamonkey and still it's not working.

Sorry I may sound a little dumb, but when I right click on a flac file in explorer I don't see any edit option.

Beside the flac files and the jpeg I don't see any text, cue or m3u files as EAC generated folders, but I don't know whether it is supposed to.

Thanks for your reply.

From which window do I access "Edit Tag" by right clicking? I am going insane...I looked everywhere

Ok, I unistalled and reistalled the application and now I can see the option "edit tag". The album art is in there... what to do now?

If I understand there is a 'bug' with Twonky in that it will not read:

folder.jpg

but only

Folder.jpg

which is rather strange as Windows is case insensitve on filenames...

Fantastic, it WORKS! Thank you very much. I tried to rename the files already ripped and it didn't work. Do I have to re-rip them or is there another way?
Also, is it a Twonky's fault for not reading the composer's tag? Is there a workaround with DB? Thanks again Spoon

I dont think Twonky supports composer. You would have to clear the database and rescan all your files after changing to Folder.jpg

Re: Album art and Composer keyword ...not recognized

I spoke too fast. As I said I am a new user and I am afraid that db is not cofigured properly in regard to the album art. I realized that for unknown reasons my front end displays a few of the cd's art and in some cases it will display the art cover only during a handful of songs and not through the entire cd. Any idea?
I realize that I am the only poster (beside a single spoon's) in this thread but I am still hoping to get an input from an experienced user.
Thank you

Thank you very much Spoon for your help, DB is fantastic indeed even for a computer illiterate like me.
Please disregard my previous post, I didn't realize until now about your reply. Thanks again
