What music servers / players automate Album Art retrieval ?

Posted by AbeCollins (A) on July 23, 2024 at 16:06:42

I'm playing with the EverSolo DMP-A8 streamer / dac / preamp which sounds wonderful BTW. It's a Roon Ready streamer and works nicely with Roon. I also played around with the Qobuz App that resides on the EverSolo which also works pretty decent. I haven't tried Amazon Music, Apple Music, Tidal, Etc., or any of the others.

Here's my issue:

The EverSolo DMP-A6, DMP-A6 Master, and my DMP-A8 all support playing music from an external USB SSD (or a user installed internal M.2 SSD). So I loaded dozens of my own albums (folders + files) onto a 1TB USB SSD for the EverSolo to play from local storage (rather than stream or via NAS)

It indexed everything and I can navigate and play all the albums but at least 1/2 of them are missing Album cover art.

Here's my question:

Which software music servers or players if any automatically pull-in and display missing Album Art and incorporate it into your Library if it doesn't already exist in the music folder? Audirvana? JRiver? Etc? In the past it was common practice for me to 'grab' album cover images off the internet and place them in the folder where the album files reside. With Roon that is completely unnecessary as Roon will use YOUR album art AND grab it from its database.... you choose which gets priority. If YOUR cover image doesn't exist Roon can use its own. The end result being ZERO albums with missing cover art. It appears that the EverSolo player has a similar setting but it's not working for me.

Am I Roon spoiled and will I need to revert back to downloading album cover art images like I did a decade ago for those folders that are missing it?

I can swipe up/down on the iPad through several pages of albums with not one of them missing cover art.

Swiping up/down thru the EverSolo player software shows about 1/2 of the albums missing cover art.

What gives? Do I need to check every one of those album folders and load a cover art image into each?

I segregate the DSD from the PCM - also the 2Ch from the MCh - Chris from Lafayette 09:45:06 07/28/24 (1)
