Anyone having problems with album art?
 
Hi,

I’ve just uploaded a hundred or so songs and the only problem is that player having a lot of problems with album and shows wrong graphic from time to time, once it is OK and next time when you play that soong it can be wrong, actually you never know what you’ll get, it’s like it loads random graphic ;)

Thx in advance

I would also like to know how to add more categories to video player? There is only films category and I don't know how to add more and how to asign video to certain category? You know, I would like to have categories like recorded, sopts, trailers, movies.. . . .

Oh oh. Hope this isn't a common problem. I am obsessed with album art. Spent like weeks sorting out album art for all my songs. If the phone has a problem don't think I will be able to use it. Anyway just charging my phone now for first use then will transfer my media to the device. Will let you know if there is a problem.

By the way is your album art embedded? When I got my N97 I discovered alot of my album art was missing. I then discovered it was because I use Windows Media Player for ripping and Windows Media Player did not do embedded art in the past but rather just saved the album art in a folder. But either N97 did not do album art from folders or my music had been moved to new folders. My newer songs which were embedded showed fine. Could that be problem you have?

Can you come up with some specific examples where it goes completely wrong? Or even a screenshot of "random graphic"?

put the files through a tagging tool like Media monkey to make sure they are tagged correctly. make sure the art is embedded, tagged as cover.front as well as to make sure you dont have multiple album arts attached.

I never understood for what having embedded art is useful if this can just be downloaded on the fly from a server?

if your media player is not network enabled or you don't have a network connection?

Transfered a few songs and don't seem to have any problem with album art (thankfully). All my album art is embeded.

By the way where is the Panucci software for this device? Isn't it ready? Couldn't find it amongst the list of apps.

I have most of the album cover images missing and can't figure out why. I've placed them as cover.jpg (and tried also folder.jpg) in the same directory with the corresponding music files but only few album covers are displayed. I don't get the logic. It seems that they are displayed at random.
