Artist Artwork

[bruceorr]

Thanks. Below is info from your website regarding ARTWORK: how to add album art, group art (I take that to mean ARTIST), and Playlist artwork. Please note that using folder.jpg is the NEXT TO LAST recommended nomenclature alternative.

When displaying an audio file, MinimServer looks for artwork using the following search order:

Artwork in JPEG or PNG format embedded within the audio file
[NEW] A file named filename.jpg or filename.png (exact-case match only) in the same directory (folder) as the audio file, where filename is the filename of the item without its filetype suffix. For example, the audio file Magnificat.flac could have artwork in the file Magnificat.jpg or Magnificat.png.
If the audio file is part of an album, the artwork for the album (see below)
If the audio file isn't part of an album but is part of a group, the artwork for the group (see below)
A file named folder.jpg (exact-case match if available, otherwise case-insensitive match) in the same directory (folder) as the audio file
A file named folder.png (same case-matching search order as above) in the same directory (folder) as the audio file
A file named cover.jpg (same case-matching search order as above) in the same directory (folder) as the audio file
A file named cover.png (same case-matching search order as above) in the same directory (folder) as the audio file
When displaying an album, MinimServer looks for artwork using the following search order:

Artwork in JPG or PNG format embedded within an audio file for a track of the album. If more than one track of the album has embedded artwork, the artwork for the lowest-numbered track is used.
A file named albumname.jpg or albumname.png (exact-case match only) in the same directory (folder) as any of the audio files in the album, where albumname is the name of the album. See the Illegal filename characters section for details of how to handle album names containing characters that can't be used in a filename.
A file named folder.jpg, folder.png, cover.jpg or cover.png in the same directory (folder) as any of the audio files in the album, using the case-matching search order described in steps 5 to 8 above.
When displaying a group, MinimServer looks for artwork using the following search order:

Artwork in JPG or PNG format embedded within an audio file for a track of the group. If more than one track of the group album has embedded artwork, the artwork for the lowest-numbered track is used.
A file named groupname.jpg or groupname.png (exact-case match only) in the same directory (folder) as any of the audio files in the group, where groupname is the name of the group. See the Illegal filename characters section for details of how to handle group names containing characters that can't be used in a filename.
A file named folder.jpg, folder.png, cover.jpg or cover.png in the same directory (folder) as any of the audio files in the group, using the case-matching search order described in steps 5 to 8 above.
When displaying a disc of a multidisc album, MinimServer looks for artwork using the following search order:

Artwork in JPG or PNG format embedded within an audio file for a track of the album disc. If more than one track of the album disc has embedded artwork, the artwork for the lowest-numbered track is used.
A file named discname.jpg or discname.png (exact-case match only) in the same directory (folder) as any of the audio files in the album disc, where discname is the name of the album disc as specified by a DISCSUBTITLE tag. See the Illegal filename characters section for details of how to handle album disc names containing characters that can't be used in a filename.
A file named folder.jpg, folder.png, cover.jpg or cover.png in the same directory (folder) as any of the audio files in the album disc, using the case-matching search order described in steps 5 to 8 above.

I welcome the DATE ADDED capability, but that is not an issue to add to the files. The issue is how will it be displayed. Can there be a Song/File list that is sorted by Date ADDED?

At present, the only way to create a Date Added sort is to manually add Date Added tags to your files. I am working on a better solution for this.
