Any way to change name of default album covers?

[Cheesypeas]

I ask because my Samsung Z5 player uses 'folder.jpg' as the album cover file so if I want to view album art on my MP3 player, I have to manually rename the file. Is there any way to make Silverjuke use a default image name all the time?

Adding "folder" to "Settings / My music library / Combine tracks to albums / Keywords to identify cover image for an album" should do the job:

Thanks.. that'll be handy. Is there any way of doing it the other way round at all, eg making Silverjuke save all covers, no matter what the name is, as folder.jpg? If not, I'll just save the pictures into the folders and then get Silverjuke to open them up. Thanks for the help.

No, currently not.

Here is a useful tip for anyone wanting to do this. When I tried it, it just wouldn't work; I put the 'folder' keyword at the start of the list; at the end; with a capital 'F' - nothing worked.

Here is the problem: if you have ripped your music using Windows Media Player, it will create a Folder.jpg cover file (and a few others as well), but for some strange reason it's created with the 'system' and 'hidden' attributes set. This means that Silverjuke doesn't see it and therefore won't recognise it as a cover file.

There is no way to change this behaviour from WMP. However, you can change the attributes of all your Folder.jpg files as follows:

Let's assume that your music is in the folder C:\music ...

Close Silverjuke if it's running
Open a command prompt and type the following commands
c:
cd \music
attrib -s -h folder.jpg /s (this will take a while to execute if you have a lot of folders, and even longer if they're on a network drive)
exit
Go back into Silverjuke
If you haven't already done so, add 'folder' to the list of album cover keywords
Recreate your music library. You should find that your album covers will appear.

As you add more albums you'll need to repeat this process, or else choose different software to do your ripping.

Hope this helps.
