how to get album artwork appearing in controller from music from itunes

I'm using a Bridge / Connect with a NAS drive. The easiest way I've found to get the album art to appear is to locate the art online using something like Google images, find a resolution of more than 300 px, or shoot it yourself then resize the image, copy & paste it into the album folder that contains the tracks or songs, then change rename the image to folder.jpg pay attention that you don't use jpeg, it won't work if you do. As long as that file is in the folder with the songs Sonos is smart enough that it will recognize it as a image & it'll work

You bet. It should be working now. Let us know if you have any questions.

I have the same issue too...

The link "starting with the steps here" is also broken, the first you posted Ryan.

I've just discovered I have this problem and I think I'm using a solution that hasn't been mentioned before. It still requires work, but doesn't require you copying and pasting downloads into directories etc.

1. Download the album artwork (I use Google image search and just pick a decent res image).
2. Open the album within iTunes, select all the tracks and 'Get Info' for all of them together.
3. Tab to 'Artwork'.
4. Click 'Add Artwork' (even if there's already some showing) and point to the artwork you've just downloaded.

This will re-upload the artwork to the album and then it'll just appear in your Sonos controller. I've found I don't have to force Sonos to update the music library for it to appear. At most, just move the album list in the controller up and down a bit for it to appear.

I've also checked that if you delete the album from iTunes and the Sonos controller, then re-import them to both, the artwork remains intact so you don't need to worry when moving an iTunes library to a new location or rebuilding either iTunes or Sonos.

Can't guarantee it'll work for everybody but that's how I'm 'slowly' getting the job done.

Hope it helps,
Ben

iTunes uses a way that may bug Sonos (and probably other media player) with the way in stores artwork.

On a Mac, the best solution I found is this $2 software piece:

Having just reread the thread, it appears Tom Grzybala suggested over a year ago what I suggested 3 days ago. So that'll teach me for not reading a thread fully fully before posting. Idiot boy (me, not Tom...)!
