AlbumArtDownloader and Foobar2000 - need some help!

    I open up AlbumArtDownloader -> New -> Foobar Browser, search the entire library and select 'All albums with missing artwork'.

    It brings up one by one, searches of the different albums and their artwork. If I click to save an artwork, it automatically saves as Folder.jpg in my Music directory (where all my mp3s are automatically saved when ripped by Foobar). So I choose to 'Save as' and give all the artworks their own separate names. This makes no difference though - whatever artwork is saved under Folder.jpg is the one that appears for all the albums when I open Foobar. None of the other artwork is used.

    How do I set it up so that the correct artwork is associated with the correct album in Foobar? I hope I do not have to put all the albums into their own separate folders so that each of them can have their own separate Folder.jpg file?

    Cheers in advance.

    Is it something to do with the way I'm ripping the cds onto my computer?
    Instead of using the 'Add to playlist' option, I choose the 'Rip' option and then after they're ripped, I add them to my playlist manually. Would that make any difference?

    Folder.jpg is as the name suggests, the album art for that folder. Of course it wont work if you rip all your music to the same folder.


    Sort your music and it will work grand.



    Another option (messy and wasteful) is to embed the album art into each file..

    Cheers.

    Don't suppose there are any settings in Foobar that will automatically create a new folder when ripping? Or do I hafta do it all manually?
