I am playing music on my internal disk drive so i can play my cd collection on my speakers without ripping them. Im trying to have it cycle front cover, back cover, and cd cover. is there any way i can add those custom, i already replaced the last.fm picture saved in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000-v2\yttm\art_img\biography-cache\rev_img\k\KILL BILL and replaced the image with a full res image and i was happy. but im not sure what the album art back name file would be. I tried KILL Bill - RESIN - BACK but it didnt work and im not sure where to go from here

The name shouldn't matter, you can just place any image you would like in the folder and it should appear in the biography view. Additionally, you can adjust the image source settings under the "Source" option in the right click menu on the biography panel.

The better option is to use a naming scheme for those images, which can be configured under "File > Preferences > Display", where you can set a scheme for the front cover, back cover, artist, and disc images. This will display those images on the biography panel based on the cover source option.

I like to rip my own CDs and scan / download the album art, here is an example of this in action on my install. image image image

Ah wait, I think I misunderstood what you meant. You wish to display the cover images while playing the music through your computers internal disc drive? If you are trying to do that, you can accomplish it like this:

Go to the biography options by right clicking and selecting "Options", then select "Server Settings (All Panels)" at the top, then go to the Cover tab. Here, you can set the cycle folder.

If you append "\%album%" to the end of the cycle folder, you can create a folder with the album name within the image folder and then if you set the cover source to "Cycle from folder", it will cycle the images for the album. You should be able to see a preview of the path at the bottom of the page when selected in the biography options to ensure the path is correct.

Alternatively, you could also use a custom path if you set the naming scheme as mentioned previously, and can select what you would like displayed in the source setting.
