You know, I bet it's a DB upgrade thing. I suspect that when we upgraded to
.21 and re-scanned the DB it didn't "re-check" the files for art since they
were already in the DB, hence only new files would load the art. Seems like
a fairly simple solution, I'll have to try tonight. BTW, did you lose any of
your playlists when you did this? It took me hours to build mine and I would
hate to have to restore my DB to recover them.
