Thank you Simon, I know what you mean.

But I realize I was not clear. So let me try to explain myself again:

1) each of the album has its own title (Bach Cantatas [Gardiner], Disc n where n is the disc number). So I don't use what you describe. Just imagine it is like having sub folders under a folder, and forget the fact that they are all part of a box set.

2) In my entire collection (roughly 6500 albums), this is the only place where the issue happens. Next to this, I have the same structure for the Cantata by Koopman, the same structure for the Cantata by Suzuki, the same structure for the Cantata by Harnoncourt, i.e. sub folders where each album has its own title, no cover inside the track, and each subfolder has its own Cover.jpg. Same for Beethoven symphonies, etc... you got it.

And it works well everywhere else except the Gardiner.

However, I did run a little test. I renamed one album title (I mean the title tag) from
Bach Cantatas [Gardiner], Disc 10
to
Bach Cantatas [Gardiner], CD 10

And for this album only, the proper cover is back.

So here is my interpretation: Minimserver scans the title, and sees "Disc xx" in the title
and therefore minimserver says "oh, I see the word 'Disc plus a number', therefore it must be part of a group" and as minimserver does not see a 10.jpg, minimserver ignores the Cover.jpg and uses whatever first cover it finds (still does not explain why album 2 is correct, album 3 has album #2 image and why all others have the album #1 image)

That is my only supposition at that stage.
