I just bought an Encore since i didn't have a NAS initially I've been using a flash drive and an iPod nano to play music through the USB drive in FLAC (flash drive) format with everything working fine including album art work in full resolution.

I just got a WD my Cloud NAS and hooked it up to the system. The Encore recognizes it and plays the music BUT the album artwork is of low resolution. Now these are the same FLAC files with artwork embedded on the flash drive.

ANY solutions?!?1 the only thing i can think of is that the speed of the connection may be limiting it, but its such a small part of the flac file, it baffles me!!!

Any help would be appreciated.

Use media monkey or MP3 tag to discover if you have multiple embedded cover files. Delete the low res ones. Very common.

Still poor resolution. Any other ideas??!

Do u have an encore and if so, what NAS are you using? I have a feeling this might be the problem.

I tried using the online twonky server to feed my music on my mac to the encore again again the album covers didn't display correctly

HI,

please make sure that there is a Twonky DLNA server (at least version 6.0.33 and newer) running on your WD.

Some NAS manufacturers use other media servers. For most DLNA clients this will be okay, too.
But with BS5/BS5e the cover resolution will be bad since only Twonky seems to know which cover-resolution it has to serve to a B&O client.

Been to the settings?

Sometimes you'll have to 'check a box' to get servers to send highres coverart instead of generating a thumb-sized one.
