Another art work prob

Mustadied · 02-24-2008, 04:46 PM

Recently I ripped all my cd's onto my laptop...while ripping my program grabs all the cd data: song names, artist, album name, art work...the art work shows up in the folder of the cd's and everything. So I synced one cd and the artwork popped up no problem, next few cd's didn't however...doesnt make sense since I ripped all the cd's the same and I can see the art work on the folder, did I maybe do something wrong?

I tried getting the Zune to work on my laptop instead of my desktop but no matter what the Vista software won't see my Zune, I dled 16 and 32 bit versions of the software from Microsofts site but no dice.

You'll have to either turn off the automatic meta data update in zune software or manually add album art to the zune software in the "collection".

The reason why the album art shows up in your music folder because windows automatically use the pictures in that folder as the album art.

Zune software requires the picture to be named ZuneAlbumArt.

There's a trick floating somehwere in this forum where it explains how to let zune software use the pictures in the folder rather than ZuneAlbumArt pictures.

There's no 16bit version of zune software. Are you using windows vista 64bit version?
