Album Art Missing on 10-20% of CDs (Batch Rip)

[SpedInFargo]

Saw another thread about album art but not sure if that was the same problem.

I have batch ripping set up with a Sony changer and it works great (accuraterip rocks).

It's missing album art on about 20% of my rips, though. It's not on obscure albums either: U2 albums (Achtung Baby, Zooropa), Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales, Roger Waters Wall Live in Berlin, The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails, etc.

Any idea what would be happening on those? Anything I can look at in a log? I'm not 100% concerned since I'll probably use other tools for the album art, but would rather have it all done for me (PerfectMeta-style). I bought v14 Reference - I think it's running 14.2

You would need to enable GD3 also to get a decent number of album art with Batch Ripper.

Hmm - that one shows as enabled. All of them do: amg, gd3, musicbrainz, freedb...

Oh well - I'm almost done with the batches so I'll end up throwing them through an ID3 editor and get the art... Not a huge deal...

You have purchased lookups from GD3? if not then it will not be using it in Batch Ripper.

I bought the Reference version with PerfectMeta. Doesn't that include GD3 access?

Yes if you are not using batch ripper, for batch ripper gd3 only allow per disc lookup fees

same issue, I purchased and additional 1000 lookups from AMG and GD3, and have 25-30% missing coverart, a little dissappointed, What ID3 tag editr or you using ? I need to edit the filename and artist name "various artists" in one step if possible.

Please note that GD3 lookups are separate from AMG lookups.

I know I paid for the lookups for both AMG and GD3, dbpoweramp is a GREAT app, very happy with it, and great value !

I just need to get the coverart lookups working at a higher rate , , ,
