Music library and album art

    Hi everyone,

    doing the first steps with LibreELEC and getting closer to the things I want to do with it.

    Our music files are located on a nas-drive, which I added to LibreELEC. So I can browse through the artists and albums and also play the mp3-files.

    I organized the music library using foobar2000.

    For singles I embedded the albumart into the mp3-file and those pictures are also properly displayed.

    For albums foobar2000 suggests, that you put a file called "front.jpg" into the directory of the album. Those are also displayed within foobar2000.

    But they are not displayed in LibreELEC.

    Is there a way to tell LibreELEC to display album art, which is not embedded in the mp3-files?

    Cheers

    Rainer

    I'd recommend Musicbrainz Picard for organising audio files: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/ as it will also embed their IDs in the files which guarantees things scrape well. It's also the app used by the folks who dev on Audio topics in Team Kodi. Reworking a large library with Picard might take time, but it's one of those tasks that you only need to do properly once, and then future re-scrapes (should they ever be needed) become simple.
