No more free cover art ?

[Paul2122]

I have been ripping cds the last month, it used to always show cover art of the cd , now it no longer does
What's up with that ?are they now forcing you to buy perfect tunes ?
If this is the case I put my whole collection of wav, and flac files on a external HD
What do I have to do to get perfect tunes to work erasing doubles, and getting album art ?

Re: No more free cover art ?

PerfectTUNES and dBpoweramp are very separate.

To rip CDs and have cover art, you need a Reference licence, PerfectTUNES is not required.

I have a payed license for a DB poweramp, it No longer allows cover art to from cds to be shown.
It says I have to pay for perfect tunes. They never did this before .that is totally unexpected.

I have transferred all Wav, and Flac files from computer to a seperate external hard drive.
How will perfect tubes find and fix all the doubles, and missing album art on my windows 7 machine ?

PerfectTUNES was in beta test for 1 year, during this time it allowed free access to cover art and de-dup.

Now it is been released it is no longer free, and it is a separate product to dBpoweramp.

You can check the status of dBpoweramp by running dBpoweramp Configuration, if it says Reference Registered then CD Ripper will fetch album art for your CDs (as you rip them).

Ok so I have an issue. I puchased both DBpoweramp and perfect tunes. DBpoweramp was working great fetching album art and such. When I ran perfect tunes album art and had it scour my music locations to add album covers it provides the wrong covers for many of my albums. Basically it gives the same album cover as the last one it successfully completed.

For instance I might have No Doubt Tragic Kingdom 5 times but only 1 of those albums is No doubt. The others are different albums. What gives?

I fixed the various artist duplicates by the way. So that's not the issue here.

And if you click the 'fix' button to manually specify the art for one of those albums, what artist - album does it show bottom left?
