Hello,
I have a Bemaster 5/Beosound 5 system and was wondering how I can add picture of CD cover, there the software does not find them in the database. In the manual it just says that pictures can be added to the folder, but this does not have any effect.
Thanks for any help on this
Gerald
I know you can do it through BeoPort, drag and drop a photos as outlined below:
BeoPlayer supports cover art for N.MUSIC tracks, either as
pictures embedded in the tracks or as a picture placed in the
same folder as the tracks or the album.
To download or update album covers …
Cover art shows in BeoPlayer in all views on the left side of your
screen. If you have registered BeoPlayer, you have access to
BeoPortal, and after you have scanned your computer for music,
you can start updating your current album covers or downloading
album covers.
> Click and hold on the current view in BeoPlayer in the top
left-hand corner.
> Move the cursor to ‘Albums’ and let go of the mouse
button.
> Right-click an album to see the available options.
Alternatively you can drag and drop a photo onto a track or an
album directly in BeoPlayer.
When you insert a CD and click
PC CD
, BeoPlayer will show
cover art automatically, if present in the file.

Take always the covers with the best quality (highest resolution) you can find. They are just looking brilliant on the BS5 display!
Valuable point made by Wulf. There are countless sources of cover art in the internet and the quality of the cover art on your display can be dramatically improved by using those as compared to the automatic search results via B&O software. Unfortunately, it involves one to a higher degree. However, judge for yourselves if it's worth it - I enclose just one of the (too many) examples:
