If there's a Folder.jpg file in a folder, all the songs in it get that as Album Art #21

I have a "Various" folder in which I put a lot of songs from different artists, and when I imported my music in the app they all had the Album Art of a single song.

I found that the Folder.jpg file in that folder was the one of that song and when I removed it (the Folder.jpg file), all the other songs got the right picture.

@413Michele thank you for your feedback.

following file names have priority: 'cover.jpg', 'Cover.jpg', 'cover.png', 'Cover.png', 'album.jpg', 'Album.jpg', 'album.png', 'Album.png', 'folder.jpg', 'Folder.jpg', 'folder.png', 'Folder.png', 'front.jpg', 'Front.jpg', 'front.png', 'Front.png' (You can see and edit it in dconf). The reason is the performance. It's faster to load cover from file instead from ID3 tag.

I hope I could help you.

I can see your point, those files were probably remnants of Windows Media Player auto download from years ago. Thinking about it, it's really a limit case

@413Michele do you mean only Folder.jpg? What about other file names?

413Michele commented 6 years ago

@artemanufrij I'm not sure what you mean, but the Folder.jpg files in my music folders were almost certainly created by WMP, in Windows they are even hidden

If you mean we should remove only folder.jpg so I'm agree either you...
