Music Collector & Cover Art

[Dave M]

I installed the Music Collector Library plug-in last night, and it works great for getting the Album Name, Artist Name, and track information from my Music Collector database when I play a CD when I am off-line, but I had really hoped it would also get the Cover Art from Music Collector and at least put it into the Extended Information drop-down on QCD, but it does not.

Then I saw the Cover Art plug-in, and thought mabye it would be able to get the cover art from Music Collector. I have installed it, but I can't figure out how to make the Cover Art plug-in work with the cover art JPGs which Music Collector has stored in a subdirectory with a file name that starts with the Album Name, sometimes includes the Artist Name and Year issued, then has some ID number generated by Music Collector.

Anybody out there know if there is some way to configure the Cover Art plug-in to recognize the cover art files saved by Music Collector? It seems a shame to have all these cover art JPGs on my hard drive and not be able to display them when I play the CD.

That ID number is what will keep the Cover Art Vis from finding them...you can't template a unique id number. The only thing you can do is use an image list to add each cover for each album individually.
