Album cover art, Should be able to display folder.jpg image when playing tracks Options

[Craz]

I've got several thousand .flac and .mp3 files organized into artists/albums. Each album has an album cover art image file in it (mostly "folder.jpg"). But none of the music files have embedded images in the tags.

I've not found a command line / batch tool to embed images into thousands of files. And besides - it's a waste of disk space.

The audio player should be able to display the folder image if the file does not have an embedded image.

I'm running the latest firmware (1.02.21).

Thanks,
Chris.

I think it does behave similarly, though frankly I'm not too sure. Embedded art displays fine IIRC, and folder.jpg works for the folder thumbnail. It's actually been ages since I bothered to play music with this device, 'cos it's just not one of its strong points, to put it mildly. As for being on the wishlist for Gen. 1, that model is now no longer being updated/supported by WD, so you can see the futility of posting a wish for it. In fact, we may even lock up that section now for good.

P.S. In certain respects I guess all the models should act the same, but they don't. They have different hardware components inside and the FW obviously differs. We've divided this forum into sections by model for a reason, so that we can keep things organised and so that responses/solutions can be provided that are appropriate for a given model (since what works for one won't necessarily for another). So it's appreciated if people take the time to post in the proper place because if the model isn't specifically mentioned, responses are naturally provided based on the section posted in.
