I spent the best part of yesterday starting to sort out my music library. Gave up very quickly on scanning the jewell cases and used CDCovers instead. I got as far as Black Sabbath last night so there's many weeks to go.

I made a separate folder within each album called art. A lot of the art from the cover site is around 2 or 3 megs in size..... front, back and CD art. I made a copy of the front art and put it in with the flac files, thinking that SqueezeCommander will pick up that before looking into the sub folder and maybe pop up the rear cover art.

While playing last night all the same old artwork popped up. When I was finished I decided to let LMS do a rescan.
This morning it was still running !!
I went online and someone suggested that the main pic should be around 500x500 pixels.

Thankfully I'm still in the early stages of this exercise so can scale down the main cover art.

I know Linux is the preferred OS for this but I'm still on Win 7 64 bit and won't be migrating anytime soon.

Are there any other options or methods I should be looking at ?
