Artwork search request - album.jpg - edj - 07-01-2022 21:22
According to this page, a file named album.jpg, album.png, etc would not be considered by MS to be artwork.

Could album.*** be added to the list of files that MS searches for as valid artwork?
I would assume this is a fairly common naming convention - and I have thousands of files like it that I don't know how to change at once!

To my knowledge, this is not a common naming convention. If you are able to access your library from a Windows PC, I can provide a bulk rename script to help you rename these files.

Hi Simon, yep I manage my music from a Windows computer so a bulk rename script would be most welcome, thank you.

The following PowerShell commands should do what you need. You need to replace X:\MyLibrary with the path to your library. This can be a network path in the format \\device\librarypath.
Get-ChildItem -Path "X:\MyLibrary" -Recurse -Filter "album.jpg" | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name -replace "album.jpg","folder.jpg" }
Get-ChildItem -Path "X:\MyLibrary" -Recurse -Filter "album.png" | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name -replace "album.png","folder.png" }
I suggest you try this first on a copy of a small subset of your library to make sure it is working as intended.

Thank you very much Simon - I'll test it out in the morning!

Did this work for you?

Unfortunately not. Running the first command i received this error:
Code:
PS C:\Users\xxx> Get-ChildItem -Path "D:\mus" -Recurse -Filter "album.jpg" | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name -replace "album.jpg","folder.jpg" }
Rename-Item : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

I have absolutely no idea what could be going wrong!!
RE: Artwork search request - album.jpg - simoncn - 17-01-2022 20:21
The message seems to be saying the folder D:\mus\1-9\13\1...s EP] already contains a file named folder.jpg. Are you sure this isn't the case?
Edit: I tried this myself. If the folder already contains a folder.jpg file, I get the error you have posted. If the folder doesn't contain a folder.jpg file, the command works as expected.

There's definitely not a file called folder.jpg:
Code:
PS D:\mus\1-9\13\13MUSIC005D [Lightless EP]> dir

If this is a pain to troubleshoot then don't worry, I can do it the manual way!
