My album art is not showing correctly. It will show the CD image and if I click on the artist it will show the correct image in the "other albums" section.
Also, is there a deal for a second install of TJ? My main install is in my van, but I'd like to make changes and just copy it all to my external hard drive.

Reset the ALBUM ART Cache, Options/Display/Album Art.
If that doesn't work, Shutdown TouchJams. Delete ALBUM ART - C:\ProgramData\TouchJams\albumart Delete DATABASE - C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\TouchJams\db\TouchJams.db Restart TouchJams and reimport your music.

I have NEVER had an issue with Album Art. I don't have any "embedded" album art in any music tracks. I use a 1000x1000 folder.jpg in the album folder. These are my settings.

Sounds as if you don't have the album tagged correctly. Are all the songs in that album tagged to the album? I have made several mistakes in tagging incorrectly where I don't have all songs tagged the same way. This then gives me the "CD" image on ones that were not tagged correctly.

So you don't add album art to each mp3, you just add it to the folder? Mine are all tagged with mp3tag and the album art is addent to the tag

All of my music files have album art embedded and there is no issue in regards to album art showing correctly. I have had to reinstall windows and then Touchjams to have certain issues resolved in the past. Although a pain in the butt, A clean install will tell you if there are any system issues that may be exasperating the issues your having. Make sure all info is the same in your tags for Artist and Album Name and that the song titles all share this same information. Then highlight all of the tracks and add cover art to the tracks and hit save. I use MP3tag and have made mistakes that I had to correct that produced less than desirable results when imported into Touchjams.

"So you don't add album art to each mp3, you just add it to the folder? Mine are all tagged with mp3tag and the album art is addent to the tag"It's just my way of doing it , and it reduces track size. The only time i add album art to the track (embedded) is on my weekly Top 40 UK albums (compilations). If you add a folder.jpg and your music is tagged correctly, then you problems should disappear.
I would also suggest you make a TEST Library with 10 COMPILATION albums in it and only load that into Touchjams and practice your tagging skills & Album Art placement.
Note,
EVERY TRACK IN A FOLDER MUST HAVE THE EXACT SAME ALBUM NAME.
It can take a long time to get your tags correct, some errors are too obvious to see at the first attempt.

Ok, I bought another copy of TJ so I can work in my office. The issue seems to be if I have the same artist in Jukebox, Karaoke, and Video, the database gets wonky and I get album art mixed between the 3. I changed all albums to be the same per type (mp3, etc) but still had the issue. The issue goes away if I change the artist name. The only way I can do that and it remain usable is to add an underscore. Alicia Keys Alicia_Keys Alicia Keys_

I would suggest you email Bob (The Developer) regarding your issue, i have never heard of this happening before. I'm sure he will be interested.

Just a last thought on your issue. If your Media (MP3, Video & Karaoke) folder structure is similar to "A" (each in 1 sub folder of a "ROOT" folder) Try it like "B", where each type of media has it's own folder in the "ROOT" of your storage device.

Regarding media files for the different library types (audio/video/karaoke), it's a very bad idea to just stuff everything under 1 folder, and lots of things can go wrong if you do. I definitely recommend organizing your library files how Tony showed above - either A or B should be fine. Also, don't forget that for albums, all the songs for a particular album should be in the same folder.

Also, don't forget that for albums, all the songs for a particular album should be in the same folder. All songs are in the same folder per artist. All folders now have a "cover.jpg" album art. I have all folders on drive like: D:/Mastervideo/Adele D:/MasterMP3/Adele I just loaded some karaoke tracks using that same structure on a new device (I purchased a second copy of TJ) Some karaoke artists have cover art and I haven't tagged any of them. So I experimented and had issues with album art and name from mp3 showing in karaoke. I tagged the karaoke tracks as karaoke in the album name, but had to modify the artist name or else it still persisted to show the wrong album name and cover art for example, 311 Karaoke is Artist: 311_ Album: 311 Karaoke 311 Mp3 is Artist: 311 Album: 311 311 Video is Artist: 311' Album: 311 Video Attachments:
