Ah, I see. There is an entry for Liner Notes Filename. Very cool, I didn't notice that before.

The problem I have is this: each PDF booklet is located under the album folder, but named something difference (e.g. Digital Booklet - Artist - Album.pdf) to work with iTunes.

I could certainly rename them all... I think I will try this.

By the way, what do you name your booklets as? Something like LinerNotes.pdf?

Oh, one more thing: have you found a place to download liner notes for albums? I have a bunch from places I've downloaded purchased music, but for ripped CDs, what to do? I have also started collecting back cover images and storing them in the same folder as "back.jpg". A standard is needed...

No problem and no need to rename folder-specific .pdf files. Just create a symbolic link named booklet.pdf (or whatever name you like) in each folder from the command line:

ln -s whateverFolderSpecificNameYouMightHaveHere.pdf booklet.pdf

and fill the Liner Notes Filename field with "booklet.pdf".

I have symbolic links named booklet.pdf and folder.jpg to folder (album) specific .pdf and .jpg files in each folder.

I do not know of any site offering liner notes for albums. Hyperion allows free download of liner notes, but only for the products they sell. If you find a site offering liner notes, please let me know. I am in the same situation.
