Problem with different artworks for different discs of the same album

[rotho]

I have a problem with an album (The definitive Otis Redding), which is in fact a 4-disc boxset, with each disc having its own cover.

So, I put each disc in a separate directory, with a different cover.jpg image, but all tagged with the same album name.

When I look at the Web browser, I see the different tracks of the discs with their correct image, but on the Touch, I only see the image of the first disc of the album, for all the tracks.

So it seems that the Touch does not manage correctly the multi-discs albums having different artworks.

Has anybody seen the same behaviour ? Is there a way to get around this problem (apart from tagging the different discs with different album names, of course...) ?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Do you use the discnumber tag you can have the same album name but use different disc number tags.

be aware of totaltracks and totaldisc tags they can be wrong I just don use them.

I always use the discnumber and disctotal tags for multi-disc albums.

I tried to erase the disctotal, totaldiscs, totaltracks, tracktotal tags I usually use, but that didn't make any difference as regards my artwork problem.

Ok do the files have embedded artwork ?

sbs takes embedded art first then folder.jpg or cover.jpg and such .

Also be aware that scan for new and changed is not so good at pick up artwork changes, only a full clear and rescan seems to work .
It definitely don't pick up if you change the folder jpg (if so do a full scan) but might pick up changes in embedded art.

Can get even wweirder if you multiple artwork embedded ?

No embedded artwork in my FLAC files.
I have done a full clear & rescan, but the problem remains.

Apparently, it is a bug concerning the players with GUI (it occurs also with SqueezePlay), but not the Web Browser.

Can anybody try to reproduce it :
On a multi-discs album (different DISCNUMBER tags, but same ALBUM tag for each disc), put a different cover.jpg file for each disc and see if the artwork changes when playing other discs than the first one.

A reboot of the controller ? pull out the battery and restart it ?
