Problem with covers. And a blue dot?
Hey guys..
I'm a n00b to ejukebox ;-) searched the internet to find a jukebox for all my mp3s.. Hope i found what i'm looking for. Looks like it so far :-)
But i'm having a problem when i will add covers.. Its only sometime the problem occur.
When ejukebox don't find the cover automatic then i push the "edit song info" and then go down to the "Use image from" because i like to safe all
the covers in the ame place as the album. So i have them on my computer if something goes wrong.
Well then after i've added the picture it shows. But the button "add4all" does not appear??
It only does sometimes.. And whats all that buth rename album and then theres a blue dot in the upper left corner.
I dont get the point.. What do i do wrong?
Sorry my bad spelling.
Ps. I'm currently running the demo trial just to see if the program suits my needs. A little slow but looks nice so far. If it works ;-)
Regards Michael from Denmark.

Hi neighbor! Been drawing lately? 
If you place covers in the same folder as ejukebox simply name then "cover.jpg" or "folder.jpg" and ejukebox will use these images automatically
if there is no id3 tag image present.
I've noticed that set4all hides away sometimes. Very seldom though. Does this happen with compilations?
The blue dot is nothing to be afraid for. It will not show up other places than in the tag editor. The blue dot is there to tell you that this image
has been embedded in your tags (as opposed to ejukebox autolookup which places them in the database ejuke.asn).
I advice you to read the manual for more in depth explanations of ejukebox functionality. It is situated as a sticky post in the General discussion
forums.

If you already have the covers in the same place as the album, eJukebox can automatically import them during the importation of your music folders,
provided they are named "cover.jpg" or "folder.jpg".

Hi guys.. Thanks for the quick reply
But i haven't solved the problem yet. Have tried to rename the albums art so its now "cover.jpg" but it still doesnt show the image :-( why? do i
have to refresh the whole database somehow or?
I cant even get the "set4all" button to show now.. Where is it? it says rename album.. Cant use that..
And maybe the author should make the search for cover serch for jpg images in the folder and with filename including "front" cause usually my jpgs
are callede ex: "50 cent - The masacre front.jpg"
would be nice if EJ could find out that for itself.. It takes alot of time doing all this manual when you've got 200+ albums..
Ps. Fishy, what do you mean "have you been drawing lately?" Are we neighbors hehe?

I am thinking about Jyllandsposten. Neighbor countries at least 
Back to your problem. Yes, you have to rebuild the database.
First make sure all folder have a cover.jpg. Then go to the "tools" menu --> update music database --> Re-Build database. Locate the folder
where your mp3s are situated and you're set to go.

If you add cover.jpg files after you have imported your albums in eJ you need to rebuild the database.
"When the set4all button appears to be gone, then you just have to....": .... press the "use image from..." button!

Ohh how could i forget about the drawings.. Its on the tv all the time.. Those stupid muslims just don't understand that we have freedom of
expression.. That islam religion etc is just messing with they're heads.. Religion should be forbidden hehe..
Well..
When I push "Use image from..." it says:
NOTICE:
After setting de desired image for a son click the "Se4all" button that appears to set bla bla...
Well, the problem is that the button don't appear hehe.. So i gues its a bug?
It would be nice if it worked so i dont have to rename files and copy paste so much.. I dont have covers for all my albums.. Maybe i get tired of
searching for covers alle the time hehe..

1) "Use Image from..."
2) "Continue"
3) "Browse"
4) Once you will have really put the image for the current song, the "set4all" button will appear.

When i select the picture and press "open" then it shows a thumnail of the picture.. but the "set4all" button dont appear..
i can see any button that says "use this picture".. and theres no "delete" button either..

Did you try an autolookup before you tried to set an image manually? Audiosoft talked about a bug in the new autolooup feature which made the tag
editor behave a little strange in some cases. It might be related to this? I guess audiosoft will come with a clarifying comment soon enough

Ah curious.. on my PC, and others too, the "set4all" button appear since the thumbnail appear. It should appear on your PC too. Maybe it's a bug
only on your PC? Or maybe I miss something!!
"use this picture": "Use image from..." is quite similar
"delete": when you put a new cover the old one is deleted.

Did you ever get you database rebuilt Michael? If not the manual has some screenshots and an explanation on re-building it towards the begining. Are
your MP3 tags all filled out correctly? If not eJukebox might not recognize that the artist you set the picture for has more song than one song in the
database to apply the same cover for. Hence why there would be no reason for the set4all button to show up. Thats the only thing I can think of that
might cause that issue. Welcome to the forums!

I think you got a point rollercoaster
I've just reinstalled everything.. The problem is still there. And i found out its these albums from the same artist that is wrong.. but not all of
them..
they got mixed up together though they are not in the samme folder..
its like this:
Prodigy - Firestarter
prodigy - Smack my [Censored] up
Prodigy - The fat of the land
Prodigy - Breathe
Well the problem is that the album "The fat of the land" only shows 3 files..
But in the firestarter (which is a single with 4 tracks) it shows both the firestarter tracks, the fat of the land tracks and smack my
[Censored] up tracks.. its totally messed up
And at last the smack my [Censored] up single doenst even appear in the album list.. Dont know why. i got cover.jpg in every folder..
I think i may read some more about id3 tags.. But its a few years since ive ripped the cds and i dont mention that i made any id3 tag. i have always
just used the filename etc:
Prodigy - Firestarter [01] Firestarter (edit).mp3
But why doenst it just work when i have everything in order in the folders? If i'm going to edit every single id2 tag on all my 200+ albums then this
software is not for me :-(
Its a shame because i really think it looks great.. And i want to give it at chance :-)

Problem solved  
I deleted the whole albums from prodigy and copied to my "test area" again and now it works perfect :-) yiiiir..
So i guess bacause me beeing a n00b i might have fucked the id3 tag up somehow in the edit.. dont know what i did.. but i will test it further and
hope not to mess anything up again..
I'm glad i copied a few albums to a "test area" in case [Censored] like this happen..
Now i will get to know the program more
thank for your help guys
