Album art not loaded until a track from that album has been played

[Mehdi Abaakouk]

Hi.

I have all my library divided in folders by artist/album, with covers named front.jpg|png . In the library view, the 'album' listbox shows the generic 'speaker' icon until I play at least one track from each album. Then the album art is recognized and loaded. I'm attaching a screenshot showing this behaviour (all albums shown have cover art in their respective folders, but only two have been played).

Cheers.

:D i think that is not a bug, it seems that Listen developers have adopted the loading cover behavior of Banshee. Banshee always wait until you play a track of an album to show you the cover art in the browser. I really do not like it, as i really do not like Banshee because it have not Genre browser and it seems not watching changes in your Library Location.
I love Amarok but it does not look and fit well in Gnome.
bye.

I noticed the same problem (and arrived here because I wanted to report it)

One other way to load cover art is to right click on the album.

I already left Listen music player and use Exaile since about 1 year ago.
Because it is a little like Amarok and it matches the gnome configuration.
Also, I remember that I do not like Listen because it does not have
Playlists, and even worse, It does not have Smart Playlists.
I do not like Banshee because it does not have genre browser and I do not
use Rhythmbox because It reads my genres in the wrong way, and I do not have
how to fix it.

Bye
