Hey guys thanks for reading, im triyng out Orions wonderfull skin for xloby, it works like a charm, but i only have one issue, i have over 3000 albums im my music collection, and xloby does not seems to see the covers, in every folder i have a file named cover.jpg lets say i got nirvana nervemind album and inside that folder i have a file named cover.jpg, every other juckebox software seems to work fine, but not xloby, and i think it would take long time for xloby to download over 3000 cover, any help would be apreciated, thanks.

I had that exact same problem but never came up with a solution. If you open the "music" database you can assign a jpg to each album 1 by 1. That's what I ended up doing. It only took me a few hours because I only have about 500 albums. I probably would have searched harder for a solution if i were in your shoes with 3000+ albums.
Good luck, and if you can find out how to do it please post,
maybe orion knows?

Some software might only support the Windows Media Player scheme, which omly using folder.jpg (which is for some mystery reason hidden and sometimes got overwritting) and not cover.jpg.
more more jukebox can do select which fileextension to been used (my own software use folder.jpg, cover.jpg or first jpg found).
I could easy example in blitzmax (its really a easy basic language) create a little application to rename or copy the files from cover.jpg to folder.jpg which I belive should work, but you need to let Explorer show system files and search for folder.jpg and delete them all first.

OK I think I might have an idea as to what is going on with your music database. Try this, go to "Xlobby set up" then select "databases". Next select the "import" tag and then under "template" select music. At the bottom of this screen you will see a check box for "ignore folders". Make sure this is NOT checked. Next thing you will need to do will be to go back to "basic" (huh... that's funny!) and import your music path again. If you need any more info, see this thread http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6503&p=46338&hilit=+cover+art#p46338
Let me know if this works for you guys! Hewskie, sorry you went though all that trouble, that sounds like it was a pain! Just as an FYI, I have mine set up the way that I do because I like to embed my album art in my MP3's.
