Hey Scott, me again... where are you?? Haven't see any answers all week! Anyway I read several posts and your replies regarding CoverArt. However I still seem to be missing the magic secret formula and it differs on various OS's. I have had one album I can not get to show cover art, no matter what I do. I have totally deleted it, and re imported it at least three or four times. I have named it everything from cover.jpg (which works for most of them). I even tried folder.jpg as one of your posts suggested. I made sure with a metadata editor that the picture was embedded on each MP3 file. I even tried different sizes of images to see if that was the issue. I tried changing the name of the folder. Still no cover art. I stopped and started the JamCast several times to see if that was it. Still no luck. So I am still playing trying to figure it out. Of course I still can't use the product on XP because that other issue hasn't been resolved. So I am limited to a Vista 32 bit machine and a 64 Bit machine running Windows 7 to listen to my stream that I am hosting on XP.. go figure I can host it, but can't see it or play it from an XP machine. Today I discovered that Windows 7 does not like the embedded cover art on a WMA or Wav file from Jam Cast either. So in other words an embedded cover art file that works fine on a Vista 32 bit machine doesn't show up on a Windows 7 machine. Music and all other information shows and plays without issue, but doesn't display coverart. What is the magic secret with CoverArt or AlbumArt that obviously I am still missing. Thanks again!

Hi Ed,

Sorry for the extended silence, I've been real sick for the past week and totally without any brain function. I'm trying to catch up on things now...

The album art behavior definitely shouldn't vary by OS, so I'm not sure what's going on there. Want to post your importlog.txt to http://pastebin.org and share the link here, perhaps there will be some additional information in there to help us troubleshoot.

Also, if there is a particular file you'd like to email to me, please feel free to do so and I'll check it out for myself.

Thanks!
Scott
