artwork not being imported into cdpedia from itunes

Post by dagopher »

I have artwork on my itunes entries, but when I do an import from iTunes playlist, I'm not importing any artwork. Am I missing some configuration option somewhere?

CDPedia v. 4.3.0
OS X: 10.5.4

thx
Gopher.

The artwork should be imported along with the information. Do you keep your iTunes library on a separate hard drive?

I have my art and music all on the same hard drive. The artwork is where ever iTunes normally stored it, which I think is under Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/Local/<some_random_string>/

Does cdpedia's import function have anytype of debug or logging functionality to see exactly what's going on during an import?

thx

The release version of CDpedia does not have any debug information. We will try to replicate the lack of artwork from iTunes and if we need to create a debug version we'll post it here so that you can download it and help us out.

I'm seeing the same behavior and would be happy to run a debug version for you.

I think I found the changes made to iTunes Applescript that were causing the import of the artwork to fail. Try out the latest beta. I also added more error logging, so if the artwork is still not being imported take a look at your console log for any information from CDpedia.

I downloaded the beta. I'll try it later today (need to go to work and all). BTW, the link has "www/" where it should have "www."

thanks,
