Andy, I have managed to make this replicable... It appears that there was nothing wrong with the APE's. What happens is if you import new APE's to an existing MC library, then the coverart doesn't show up in GF. Note that it does show up correctly in MC. However, if you delete the MC library and re-...

Andy, I think (?!) that I have the common problem. The files are all APE, and it seems to work OK with MP3's. I am still testing, but so far 100% MP3, 0% APE. Note that all my APE files have cover art embedded and the cover art is also stored in the album directory as Folder.jpg. Both my APE and MP3...

Normal embedded cover art in APE. plays fine with MC displaying cover art and also with other players using the same underlying APE files. QuickTime installed ( without iTunes ). Latest GForce, latest MC. WinXPProfessional all patches. I see no logical reason why the fist song in an album should sho...

Loaded the new GF latest release, and running with MC11.1.187. Rebooted and held my breath to see cover art. The first track played displayed cover art OK, then no more cover art from the same album, or any album - nothing...

Andy - what's up? Tiored uninstalling QuickTime and re-installing and the cover art still does not work. Latest versions of GF & MC. What else gives?

Again, with the latest MC11.1.185 & G-Force 3.54, no cover art.
I think this needs fixing, once and for all times...

Here's the problem - sorry, I don't know the solution... MC can display cover art two ways:- 1. By reading the cover art embedded in the files or 2. By showing the thumbnail from the MC database. MC creates 2. from 1. upon import, but when you make changes or additions, it does not necessarily write...

I suppose that the first thing to check is whether the client PC can see the cover art within MC. Either mouse over a track or have a look at the MC option to display cover art. If you can "see" the cover art in MC and cannot see it with the GForce visualisation, then it's GForce's problem - othersw...

Hi RD, As I said in my post, I am not getting the problems with MP3's. You didn't say if you were getting any cover art problems? Do you have any APE albums to test with as well? As an aside, I used to keep my cover art in one directory, but now I also use other players sharing the same music files ...

Andy, thanks for the offer. I tried creating a replicable set of files, and then low and behold, the cover art appeared. Now I am really confused... On the surface, it seems that sometimes it works and other times not. It depends on a how GForce starts - or whether it is already running. The thing i...

Is no one else getting problems with MC?

It's not working for me either. MC11 build 310 and G-Force 3.0.1

In my directory for each album, I have a JPG called "[Artist] - [Album].jpg" AND a JPG called "album.jpg" AND the cover art is embedded in the file ( APE format ).

Is there a service release for G-Force to correct this?

Thanks, nick
