Hmm I wound up editting all my id3 tags and it still doesn't show up properly as artist > album. Even though the only remaining tags are artist, album, year, and track # ( killed the other tags).

Now download a jpg of the artist, resize it to 300 x 300, rename it cover.jpg, then put it in the correct directory. Media Box will read the jpg in each directory.


If they don't show up or your old art does instead...
type

rm /home/user/.thumbnails/mediabox/*

in xterm @ root to clear the cache and you will be good to go.


Here's how it looks in MediaBox...

This is the image I use for all my recordings taken from the "B" side of old or rare 45's...

The directory structure...

The cover.jpg file that I put in each artist's sub directory...

... and finaly a shot of some actual cover art @ 300 x 300 that I downloaded using google. This one is for a group of songs by various artist's that I only want 1 or 2 songs from. I searched Google images for "1 hit wonders" and ot a bunch of decent images so I picked the one that looked the best.

I used Google image search for most of the artist's and picked the image that I thought I would recognize the easiest in MediaBox. For instance for the 50 some odd Beatles tunes I wasn't going to use the White album image.
