Assuming a box set of 3 albums with 10 tracks on each.
Is there any way to have the box cover photo displayed on the screen, with all the tracks i.e. 1-30, then when clicking e.g. track 11, the appropriate picture for that album is displayed?
I have loaded it all, it displays track No. 1 picture i.e. Album No.1 picture.
Clicking to open indiviual tracks, the correct photo for the album is displayed i.e. 1-10 album No.1 photo, 11-20 album No.2 photo etc.
Just problem with box cover photo, cannot think of a solution?!
To be sure I understand - you want the same photo (the box cover photo) on all the individual album
(1-30) tracks.
Yes itās possible, Iāve done it with a few of mine. You need a .jpg copy of the box cover (re)named ācoverā or āfolderā.
Then using dBpoweramp you can change the cover art.
With Windows-10 āFile Explorerā or the Mac eq., open each of the albums & select (highlight) all the tracks, left click on the tracks, select āEdit ID Tagsā in the Pop-Up screen. A new edit screen opens up & the existing art picture in at the bottom left side of the screen.
Remove the existing art (thats done with the X on the far right side of the screen)
Select either āLoad From Fileā if you have a .jpg, or āChoose From Internetā - this is an auto-lookup screen & look to see if the one you want is available. Select (touch) & it loads to dBp edit screen.
Then donāt forget to press āOKā (save) at the bottom of the screen
Repeat for the other two albums.
Thank you for your reply.
I have obviously explained it badly
I want the Box Cover photo on the Naim app as I scroll through my albums.
e.g. a box set of 3 Beatles albums, āHelpā, Rubber Soulā, āWith The Beatlesā
The box has a cover photo different to the 3 albums, so it should appear on the Naim app album listing, but when clicking a track from āHelpā - the āHelpā cover photo appears.
Help is needed !
Once I click e.g. Track 1 or 2 or 3 - 10 - I wish the album picture (which is on tracks 1-10 i.e. Album No.1)
If I click on Track 11,12,13 - 20 I wish Album 2 cover to appear.
It works fine apart from the box cover photo, nowhere to put it?
The Naim app appears to take the Track No.1 photo as the album cover.
The Naim app doesnāt do much except display what it gets sent. What you are looking is something that the media server software controls. Thats Minimserver I see & Iām not that familiar with it, so I suggest you ask the question on the Minimserver forum.
Iām not sure what precedence rules Minim uses for artwork but you could try putting a folder.jpg in each album folder with the box artwork, and then embed the album-specific artwork into the album track files as described by Mike.
The link to the minimserver artwork āhierarchyā within the (minim) thread above looks like it should answer your question. Your question has made me think about how I might handle some multiple album sets (differently). I wonder whether thereās a similar hierarchy for Asset?
I know thereās a way you can determine which image is used at the artist browse level, and I might look into this further when Iāve got a bit more time on my hands.
