    Hi,

    adding a cover to a compilation CD seems not to work.

    1. using the 'add cover' menu entry - fails for all compilations
    Ario tries to get the cover for compilations 'album name' and the 'artists name' of the first track of the compilation

    2. using the local cover featrue - fails also
    when I add the cover, it is assigned to the first track of the compilation

    hi. i generally embed my covers in my FLACs using a tag editor (i use dBpoweramp for all my music ripping/management needs but thats not free, but exfalso is, and its pretty good too as i use that if i have tagging needs on linux)

    on windows to get exfalso youll need to download quodlibet as its not distribvuted seperately.

    you can also try naming them "cover" and putting em in the folder, that may work too.
    for example [artist]/[album]/cover.jpg
    for me i need both embeded covers and "cover.jpg" files
