Original album cover size (media server)

Hello!
I am using the media server on my E4200v2 to transfer music fles to my Linn streamer.
I am using Linn Kinsky (iPad). I put JPEG files named "Folder" in each folder with music files. Now I can see album covers in Kinsky. But they are small. Is it possible to view covers in original size?
Thanks in advance.

These were my actions:
1) I created folders;
2) I put music files and JPEG files named "Folder" (resolution of JPEG files is 768X768 pixels) in each folder;
3) I pressed "re-scan all folders" button.
Then I open folders with a help of Kinsky and I can see all the album covers, but when I try to expand (to full screen of iPad) any picture I can see it only in low resolution.

  • Is there a maximum album cover size in Music app?

    Is there a maximum album cover artwork size in the Music app? I've noticed that some albums — that I've scanned the covers for — will display the cover in iTunes but not on my iPhone, so I'm wondering whether there's a maximum filesize or maximum dimensions.

    No
    There is a maximum numb of pages in a book (100 pages) and the larges page I am aware of holds 16 photos so the maximun number of photos you could have in a book would be 1600

  • Albums cover size

    Hi,
    I downloaded itunes 11.0 for Windows 7.
    In Album mode, the covers are huge.  I don't see any way to make them smaller so more appear in each line. Any one know how I can fix this issue?
    Thanks,
    idavycrockett

    wish I did.
    I'm not getting any image on many CDs that I import, nor when I rt click Get Album Artwork.  Any suggestions?

  • How can I make a copy of a song, change the album cover of the copy, but have the original stay the same?

    So, this is going to take some time to explain, but I'm going to try it.
    I'm trying to build a compilation playlist with songs from other albums. I want to change the name of the album in the info of the song and the cover for the new playlist. When I do this, the original copy changes as well. I don't want this to happen. Is it possible to avoid this?

    Frankly I would just make your album a playlist and live with the original album names in the individual items.
    If you really want to name them individually you will have to make copies of the files and add them a second time to iTunes.  One easy way to do this is drag the tracks you want to a different drive (it could just be a flash drive).  It will make copies of the files on that other drive. Now drag them back to an empty playlist window.  That way you will be able to keep them separate from the original track until you can rename them.  In dragging back to iTunes it will put a copy in the iTunes folders so you will end up with two copies of the files, the second one for editing.

  • I need to know how to size a media server for 800-1200 user

    i need to know how to size a media server for 800-1200 user

    Please clarify what you mean. Do you already have an iPhone? If so, and it came from the US and is (presumably) carrier locked, you're out of luck. NONE of the US carriers will unlock iPhones. There are no exceptions.
    The unlocked iPhone 4S is not yet available in US Apple retail stores. All phones sold at retail in the US are currently carrier locked.

  • Best size and resolution to design album cover?

    now, from what I understand, the dimensions of a cd album cover are 800 by 800 pixels.........but would it not be a better idea to design it with bigger dimensions and high resolution then scale down to proper size when done?
    what dimensions and resolution would you recommend designing for best results?

    800 by 800 is too low and too small for that.
    Have a look at this tutorial: http://www.shutterstock.com/newsletter/155/How_to_Design_a_CD_Cover_Using_Photoshop-2.html
    Mainly the following:
    CD booklets and covers tend to be around 4.75 inches by 4.75 inches. As such, you will want to create a new document in Photoshop with those dimensions... For print, you would obviously want to use a high resolution (300dpi)

  • WRT350N USB Media server File size limit?

    I've checked over the forum to see if I found anything else regarding it (with only one similar discussion). I'm running a WRT350N router with a terabyte USB drive (formatted to NTFS) connected (in media server mode) which is then all working with a DLink media player connected to my TV. The setup is all working fine up to a point. I can play music easily through my TV off my media setup. However, I've noticed if I attempt to upload a video file larger than I believe 2 gigs it causes the whole setup to die. I can physically upload the file via a mapped network drive but then once I rescan the drive, and attempt to use the DLink, it tells me I have no media available. If I delete any files over 2 gigs off my usb drive, and then rescan the drive, everything starts working again and I can play smaller videos. I've connected the USB drive even directly to the DLink media player and it'll play 4-5gb videos just fine. It seems it's the WRT350N's ability to handle files above 2gbs on the USB feature. Is the WRT350N only able to relay files under 2gbs through the media server usb feature? Any ideas? Thanks Message Edited by rv888 on 12-29-2007 10:53 AM

    My "work around" was that I also have a Buffalo Linkstation Live with a built-in media server. The Linkstation connects to the network by ethernet. I formatted my USB drive to XFS (the same as the Linkstation) and plugged it into a USB port on the Linkstation. I now have my media network working. It is still buggy though, as every once in a while the setup will just stop working. After some time, it comes back. This wasn't my #1 method I wanted, but it works.

  • No album cover art in Finder for mp3's?  What a downgrade.

    I have album cover art imbedded in ALL my mp3 files and they used to show up perfectly in Finder.  Now, I see NOTHING.  Cover art still shows in iTunes, but not Finder.  Any fix for this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello  Nikicampos
    I have no such problem with iTunes with a library of more than 30000 songs.
    I used to be a Weekend DJ with many many Albums.
    Which view in iTunes does not give you an Artwork.
    One thing to note is the list view, will give you an Artwork only if there is more song than the size of the Artwork icon.
    here is an example
    I left only two song in the Hush Album to show that list view, wont give you the Artwork in this case.
    but as you can see, the info of the selected song show the artwork.
    in the finder, without Icon Preview checked, you wont see the artwork.
    With icon Preview Activated
    I do have more question
    Why do you convert the song ?
    if the original song is an aiff, wav or a movie, the artwork cannot be inserted inside the file, so converting it will result into a song without artwork.
    Sometime you will see a file marked MPEG-3 but it is a video. Open it into Quicktime, export it as a audio file then put it in iTunes, and if the file is mp3 or mp4, AAC, then you can insert the Artwork.
    I probably dont fully understand your problem, give me more info but I am using iTunes since the very first version and I never hard a problem with artwork.
    Could you give more detail about your problems?
    Thank you

  • EA4500 router and media server file limit

    I purchased an EA4500 router yesterday and it arrived today. Set it up, copiued my media library over to a new Seagate Expansion drive (2 TB) and it currently is filled with 320GB of files. Music folder, Pictures folder and Video folder. Thing is only some of the files are showing up. Looks very much like some stupid limitation on file numbers. I specifically purchased this router because of the media server and now it is useless.
    Is there a fix for this sillyness? I can't seem to find a way to turn the file limit off. I truly hope I haven't purchased another rubbish router. The TP Link router I replaced had no such file size limit and was 2/3 of the price, easily.
    Yours, not amused

    Yes, I checked that before I bought myself a Seagate Expansion drive 2TB. The router list shows 1.5 and 3TB drives in that range and I would say that the 2TB is veyr likely to be supported also.
    The files are bog standard file types! Some files show up but not all of them.
    FLAC (you missed that filetype off the supported audio types btw) and MP3 show up but not all of them.
    MPEG2 files show and play..but not all are visible.
    None of my images in my photo library show up and they are all JPEG. No esoteric file formats.
    It seems though that the media server just doesn't show anything after it reaches a file limit. It really isn't up to anything much if that is the case and for the money that router should be better. Furthermore, the folders with audio albums in doesn't display the contects in the correct alphanumeric order. I was playing an album by Cassandra Wilson and immediately noticed that the songs were in the wrong order. Something totall wrong there...the server has to be displaying them like that.
    I have Marantz CR603 all-in-one hif fis in 3 different rooms in the house (living room and two bedrooms). Sometimes 2 can connect simultatenously but 3 won't as the server falls over. Even with two units connected it will suddenly disconnect for no reason. My connection isn't slow It is fast anbd yet accessing the media server is very very slow and especially simultatenous access.
     It seems to me that the media server element is a stripped down token effort but all the sales garb for the router doesn't mention aything about its silly limitations.
    I think the best thing for me to do now is return this to Amazon for a full refund and find another brand of router.  It was bad enough 'adjusting' to the cloud managment - a firmware download initiated on install and installed that. Some of the config pages don't work properly (that needs an urgent fix as well...IP address fields with only 3 fields that won't allow you to enter last 3 octets of address and you can't apply setting) and the dumbned down way of presentating the options makes it a pain to setup if you are used to the usual way of setting up a router. If I setup a router manually it takes a fraction of the time that the hand holding setup nonsense takes. I get the idea, and it looks pretty and all big buttony how everyhting is going these days but there should be a seriously 'normal' advanced mode for people that don't require their hands held through the setup and configuration.
    Very dissappointed. It's a fast router as well.

  • Map itunes album cover cache folder

    i have a small SSD hard drive as my main drive and my music is on another hard drive is there a way i can map it on the other drive?  because it is filling up my ssd drive.  maybe a registry redirect or something??
    i try to go in to itunes\Edit\Preferences\Advanced    and change itunes media folder location but it still puts the album cover cache folder in c drive

    It's a cache of the artwork.
    It's on the file system, not in memory.
    You don't have any options over it's size.
    I think what you're asking for is a more effective cache. Much as I'm now commited to iTunes (it runs my iPod and I'm addicted to podcasts) Windows Media Player does a much better job of handling artwork. In WMP the art is rendered on the off-screen sections of the page so that it is immediately visible as you scroll up & down. In iTunes it appears to be fetched as an afterthought.

  • Can't copy large files to E4200 Media Server

    I've rolled back my E4200 router to the old firmware 1.0.0.1, then set up a media server.
    It generally works (e.g. it streams pre-existing media files to other devices). I can copy to this external drive small (say, < 1 MB) files. 
    The drive has enough free space. 
    However, I cannot copy to this external drive large (e.g. 700 MB) files.

    Just chatted with a Cisco rep who offered a solution (which did not work):
    On the "Setup -> Basic Setup" tab,
    under "Internet Setup -> Optional Settings(required by some Internet Service Providers)" in the left column,
    change "MTU" from "Auto" to "Manual", and then
    change "Size" from 1500 to 1365.
    Click "Save Settings" on the bottom.
    (Mod Note: Agents Tech ID removed.)
    (Original poster's note: not a solution.)

  • Album Cover art

    I like the idea of being able to browse using cover art but it is only a useful feature if you can get most cover art . There are many albums for which iTunes has album cover art, albums which I own original copies of, for which I can't get album art.
    Examples: Sigur Ros /Saeglour, T-Bone Burnett /True False Identity, Paul Simon/ Surprise, Graceland, all of Van Morrison's albums, most Dylan and Neil Young albums and many others.
    Apple put this feature on I Tunes, but many album covers which you show on the Itunes store website don't download. I have both checked "automatically download missing album artwork" in preferences and requested Get album artwork in the Advanced Tab . If I control click on the album artwork on iTunes store, I can't even copy the image to paste it in manually. Also, when I request album art I often get an "unable to download certain artwork " message with no further explanation. If I'm supposed to buy the album art I'd like to know how and how much.
    What's up?

    The spelling was ok since almost all were entered using gracenote. Anyway it suddenly started working. without changing anything I could tell I asked again to get album artwork from the Advanced tab and it started downloading 400 album covers. whatever. So my problem wasn't answered but it is solved. thanks for the google image search idea. So I guess I'll mark it answered.

  • How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

    To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
    How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
    It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
    Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
    Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
    Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
    As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
    These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
    Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
    Frustratedly yours
    Alan Whitaker
    PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

    Dear Mike
    Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
    My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
    I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
    Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
    In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
    Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
    Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
    Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
    Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me

  • I have partitioned my time capsule, but I can't get it to work as a Time Machine back up and permanent media server for both mac and PC. What format do I need to partition the drive to so that it works for both mac and windows and so that it will be visab

    I have partitioned my time capsule, as I want part of it to act as a media server for both mac and windows. However I don't know what format that I need to partition it to. I also can't make it a permanently accesible drive. I want to restore the drive to the original format (which I don't know) and start again and re-partition the drive in a format that can be used for media by both mac and PC and for time machine back-ups and make the media part of it permanetly accesible so I can add and acccess my files.
    Thanks

    You are mixing up a couple of things here.
    The TC drive cannot be partitioned without removing it.. did you do that?
    If you partition it you must use a Mac disk utility and use the HFS+ ie standard Mac format. And GUID partition table not windows type.
    You can select erase disk in the airport utility.. that will take the disk back to original format. No partitions. TC is deliberately not partitioned as it is not a media server.. it is a backup device for TM. Over time .. the disk will be filled with TM backups so you have a long history of file changes to your computer.
    There is no media server in the TC.. it is merely disk storage.. you can serve files from it to a media device.. but the TC itself is dumb as dumb.
    Now the actual format of the drive is irrelevant to the PC.. The TC offers SMB file services to the network. You can copy files to and from the TC as if it was a local disk without caring one iota about the format. The TC handles that .. it is not a local disk .. it is a network drive.
    Although you cannot partition the TC. you can still copy files to it.. this does have implications for TM.. but as long as there is plenty of free space should not be a major issue.
    You can create a disk image via the disk utility in a Mac.. and as stated you can create partitions if you do it on a Mac with the disk directly connected which means breaking warranty if any exists on the TC.

  • Walkman app display incorrect album cover

    I made an account just to post this.
    Okay, my device is Xperia Z1 C6903 and I use the Walkman app to play music, and honestly, I love the app, it's a great app and all, I love the interface and surround feature. I do not have thought of using any other music player such as Poweramp.
    But I don't understand why the all the files in an album has to display the same album art, I don't know about if my app or system is defective, all I know is Walkman works likes this:
    All files with the same Album name tag, with album art or not, will display the same album art as the first track of the album.
    Therefore if the files in an album contains different variety of album art, it will all be replaced by the album art tagged in the first track.
    I have thoughts if I am the only one who has this problem cause not only Walkman app does this sort of thing, even Play Music (Google's music app) does the same, is something wrong with my system? So far I know Poweramp (Trial) display album art correctly and does not have any sort of this kind of problem.
    And no, my phone is not rooted.
    That is bascially my problem is anyone know the solution, or comments, you're more than welcomed to share. Honestly, I love this app and I cannot be persuade to use another app to play music.
    P.S.
    If you ask me if there's any improvement/new feature that can be done to this app, and the only thing that I'd wish this app can have is crossfade effect and please, remove the big title block with "Enjoy Your Music Anytime and Everywhere" on it, it takes up lot of space and I hate to have to scroll down in order to access other shortcuts.
    Solved!

    Okay, here's what I did, I tested out an album with two songs in it, both tagged with different cover when displayed on PC, now I transfered it to Z1 by just dragging it to SD card folder, didn't use Media Go or anything, when displayed on Walkman, the second song displays album cover that is of the first song, I proceed to "Edit music info", I clicked on the album art, I discovered that is over written by something, so I clicked on "Clear album art", choose "Save", and turned out the song got quickly over written again, I think it has something to do with the "Download music info" app thing, by Gracenote, unless this is under observation of a developer, I don't think this can be solved, right now I'd try using Media Go, see if that works.
