Cover art downloard - Need some clearity

Sorry guys this question was asked a few times.
I have searched but i need a bit more clearity.

the question is conserning teh download of cover art.

when i run ejukebox i see all my cover art in there but when i search my mp3 foulders for *.jpg i do not come up with anything. why is this..

are the images downloaded? or are they just internet links in the mp3 tags?

any comments or suggestions would be great thanks

When eJukebox looks up a cover image it downloads and saves the full image inside your eJukebox database. It also stores a small reference# inside the mp3's id3 tag so that eJukebox will be able to automatically restore the cover from the download location in the event that you transfer your mp3 files to a new installation or rebuild your eJukebox database.

Thanks that cleared things up
I was woundering why the *.jpg file was not in the albums mp3 folder..

Is there a reason its added to the database and not to the folders?

And is there anyway to make it add them to the folder...


The reasoning behind this is i like haveing art for my living room media player which uses the .jpg in folder way. but i love your software in my office and my game room..

RE: Is there a reason its added to the database and not to the folders?

The main reason eJukebox does not output to .jpg in the folder is that allot of people do not have their mp3s/albums setup neatly in invididual folders. They may have hundreds of unrelated mp3s in a single folder. eJukebox permanently stores the images in the database for fast access and so you don't have to worry about file locations, folders and keeping jpgs with individual files.

BTW, When setting up your eJukebox database it will Import cover.jpg and folder.jpg files, when they exist in the albums folder. If they do not exist; it looks for a Mp3 ID3 tag embedded image. If that does not exist it does the automatic online lookup.
