Metadata Editor not accepting art edits
My library (OneDrive) once loaded is missing a bunch of album art that isn't missing in other apps. I went to use the metadata editor and I'm having very inconsistent results. I have saved JPG file of the album art and go to each song within the album (using control/click to highlight all the songs) add the JPG file, hit save and these are the results I get:
- doesn't add the JPG to any of the songs (this happens most the time)
- adds the JPG to all but the first song in the album (this may happen on the 5th or 6th time)
When the second condition works, I go into the first song to add the JPG and can't get it to add.
Am I using the tool incorrectly, need to use a different file type? Also, what is the AUTOTAG button do - I couldn't find it in the discussions.
Thanks again!!!

Hi - can you let us know (via email if you like) example audio files where this occurred?
Auto tag creates an audio fingerprint of the file and sends it to Acoustid, which attempts to recognise the fingerprint and link it to the MusicBrainz database, providing the metadata.
Thanks just sent email with details.
@JWP As per our discussion offline, it looks like these files have neither embedded art nor a separate image file, so Astiga cannot find an existing artwork at sync time.
For the metadata editor - I found the issue and we've fixed it. This fix will be in the next release... which might be in the New Year now. Hope that's ok.
Thanks again for all your help !!!
@gravelld , I think I'm encountering the same issue here - I have either cover.jpg, cover.png, folder.jpg, or folder.png and nothing is populating within the web player or on Android Auto.
Additionally, for some odd reason, and perhaps this is a setting issue, the album title of tracks doesn't populate on a playlist for me. For example, within my #ongoing loved tracks playlist, the track Halfbreath by Halou doesn't show the cover art and the album title when the playlist plays this song. It happens for the majority of the tracks. I've checked the Metadata tags and they all seem to have the album titles associated in the tag correctly.
For the artwork, can you give us an example album?
For Halfbreath - I replicated your metadata and I can see the album name, but no art as you said.
Is that what you see? Or were you referring to the Android app?
This fix has now been deployed: https://community.asti.ga/discussion/comment/4406/#Comment_4406
Apologies it took so long to respond @gravelld , the fix definitely fixed some issues. When I use Android app the album title seems to only list Artist + Track, despite the tags being listed with album title in my music library and on the Web app. So looks like an android auto problem?
The cover art seems to be working (for the most part) but some still isn't populating but I've already seen improvement with the last update! Perhaps my resync is stalling when I try to update the sync?
Thanks for getting back...
Can you give me some examples of these? Is this only in Android Auto? I could do with knowing the page/screen it shows and the music you're trying to play.
For the sync: tell us the files/music that isn't showing the art.
Feel free to use info@asti.ga if there's information you'd rather keep private.
Yes, I'll set a reminder for myself. But it seems to be isolated to Android Auto. I'll be traveling but I'll take a note.
Thanks!
