Album Art Disappeared

I downloaded 100+ CDs to the HDD and most of them had album art when first downloaded, and for a period of time thereafter. I now notice that most of the album art has disappeared, with only 3 or 4 still showing up. Anyone else experience this or have any ideas why? It's not a big enough deal to go back in and re download the CDs (or threaten a class action lawsuit )

How bizarre. What format did you save the tracks as?

I'm not sure what the format is, I just inserted the CD, selected Options, Save Tracks to Device, and Start. It showed up at first, which is weird that it's gone. Oh well, at least the music and all other info is there.

I thought maybe I disabled Gracenote or something without realizing.

Ah, I see. I only ask because I had saved a load of .m4a files onto a USB drive, and some of the artwork wasn't showing, on that. Anyway, I pulled the USB drive and re-inserted, then went to "Search by Cover" and the Comand put up a message saying "data is incomplete, do you want to read it all? Yes/No" - I clicked Yes, it then re-read all the files and everything was fine.

However, if you directly loaded into Music Register, then you would expect it would pick up the Tags from Gracenote, or the like.

Strange.

Consider yourself lucky. In the UK we can't import CDs that are copyrighted. Which means every single CD I own of course.

Does gracenote allow you to reindex the music? I had a previous system that had this option.

You can add Australia to that list as well. So stupid - achieves or prevents nothing.

Not sure, this is something I have looked for as an option but will need to dig deeper.
