Media Monkey keeps ruining anthology fine art
I notice the album fine art section for every soundtrack is messed up. Each soundtrack, forth with the original album art, gets 26 different album arts! This additional 26 album art will besides be present with music I take non tagged yet. I tried redoing everything past clearing every album art but upon checking it over again sometime after, the anthology fine art gets messed upwardly again. I have not washed anything since later on I cleared everything merely here we are again.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album fine art
I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this issue. I have it with a lot of albums also. Even afterward auto-labelling from the internet (Discogs db) with the correct album art, MM seems to overwrite the saved anthology art with completely the wrong album and artist, or with low quality artwork. I had 'lookup missing artwork' enabled, but the artwork is not missing from these tracks so I don't understand why MM is overwriting it. For at present I have disabled the option, I hope that works.
For example: I just ripped the Ayreon album "Universal Migrator" to my NAS with the correct album art being saved inside both the tags and the folder, but as soon every bit I selected the ripped tracks to play, the anthology art that was saved was replaced with a completely dissimilar artist and anthology that are not even remotely related in name or championship.
On other albums where it's at to the lowest degree the correct anthology, instead of the album art, a picture of the CD itself is beingness used, or a promotional picture from the whole CD or LP package (or a mixture of the ii, even within the same album) instead of simply the album fine art.
MediaMonkey iv.1.31.1919. The only installed extensions are the Discogs tagger and the Dutch translation (both upwardly-to-date).

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
Disable Scan file directories for Artwork nether Tools > Options > Library. Come across if that stops Artwork from being added to your files.
Tools > Options > Metadata Lookup has an choice to lookup Artwork, but this would but happen for files with unknown Artwork.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
It will probably help, merely why is MM overwriting existing artwork with artwork from artists and albums that I have never fifty-fifty heard of when these options are enabled? As I understand it, MM should but endeavor to lookup artwork when there is no artwork present.
Information technology has worked for years that way as far equally I know, so why has the behaviour suddenly changed?

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
Neither setting would override existing Artwork. Scanning would add more Artwork additional to existing if you lot don't have a good Album binder construction and the lookup will only run when no Artwork is associated and only associate one Artwork.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
If it shouldn't overwrite existing artwork, only it does in reality, I guess that's the bug that'due south being reported
And ofc the second matter is that the album art that has been looked up is incorrect (completely different artist and album, or not the front cover from the album). If anthology art was being replaced over and over over again with right album art, I don't think anyone would notice information technology.
Like I said in my get-go mail hither I've disabled both options for at present and at to the lowest degree that prevents the incorrect anthology art existence saved, and I accept removed the wrong anthology art from the tags and manually added the correct album art, but that'due south only ofc from all the albums that I've noticed and then far.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
The question that hasn't been answered is if the Artwork is external Artwork (hover over the Artwork in the Properties > Artwork tab and the tooltip will bear witness where it is stored). That may give a clue every bit how the Artworks got at that place in the first place.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
I tin can't cheque most of the files anymore every bit I've corrected them at present, simply I only saw that one album had slipped through my manual correction. From that album, some songs have the right artwork and those are stored in the label as it should be.
The other songs take incorrect artwork, and on those songs the artwork curiously seems to exist saved to a JPG file in completely different folder called Artwork. I always shop artwork within the labels and I know for sure that the songs had the right artwork to begin with.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
Then it sounds similar scanning picked up the Artworks with Browse file directories for Artwork enabled. Having this option disabled should non have the Artworks return in the time to come.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
Maybe I'm explaining information technology wrong considering I don't really understand what is happening and English language is not my first language, but no. That is not the case. I never stored whatsoever artwork in that location, let alone artwork from artists that I accept never heard of. The artwork that is in that folder has been stored there by MM, and are the incorrectly replaced artworks.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining anthology art
What's the full Path of the Artwork folder?
MediaMonkey would relieve Artworks to the file folder (or embed) if it were to tag Artworks, non a generic Artwork folder with Artworks for many Albums. Any automated Artwork downloading would simply happen if files take unknown Artwork.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
That is what should happen, and has happened in the by that fashion, yes. Merely that's obviously not was has been happening since the terminal update.
The artwork folder is a full general folder in C:\Users\<username>\Music\Artwork (default music location is C:\Users\<username>\Music\, with a uncomplicated <creative person>\<album> sorting).
I just tried to manually save artwork as a jpg instead of in a tag, and it created a jpg file directly in the <album> folder as expected.
Edit: I see that MediaMonkey v is very close to release at present, so I approximate I'll look for the release to run across if the bug is nevertheless present in that version. Until so I'll manually lookup the artwork.

Re: Media Monkey keeps ruining album art
If manually calculation Artwork does salve it in the correct identify and then whatsoever automated tagging should do the same.
If y'all can reproduce the creation of Artwork in the wrong place capture it in a debug log (step 4b): viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69
There are only pocket-size fixes in the latest MediaMonkey 4 builds, so it this point I still assume something else is causing this (which is why if you can reproduce a debug log would be really useful in uncovering why this happens). Information technology could be an Addon or another application that does this.
There are probable 2 parts to this. What created the Artworks and then how they got associated with the files. Scanning with browse for Artwork likely answers the second question, simply I have no answer for the kickoff question.
