So I just got Media Monkey on my phone and computer and I noticed when I sync to my phone a bunch of the album art is wrong. After searching the web I found some old forum posts that basically say if two songs from the same album have different artwork, they will both have the same artwork when synced to your phone. Even if the artists are different, it still does this. I think if the album artist is different they artwork will also be different, but I'm not completely sure.
Anyway, this "feature" is incredibly annoying and I would like to find a solution that doesn't involve editing the metadata of over 1000 songs. A few hundred of my songs are blank for the album and album artist (yet the still have artwork), and because of this, they all have the same album art. So yeah... not a fan of that.
Also why? Why would the developers include this? I don't think it's a bug since it's been around for awhile. An oversight maybe?
Here are the old forum posts that I found:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=87930 and
https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=89294
They don't offer any easy solutions.
I should also add that I do not care about album artists. I will assign each song a different number as the album artist if that is what it takes to solve this. Although some advice on how to automate that would be nice. But I'll do it one at a time if need be.
