Use emby to create folder.jpg for music

[jachin99 88]

I'm trying to find some program that can create metadata for my music library.  I would like to nest a folder.jpg file in each artist's folder, along with a backdrop.jpg.  I have tried going through emby's various settings but I cannot find a way to have emby do this during a library scan.  This is for another program entirely, and my music displays correctly in EMC.  I also see .nfo files created in all of my album folders.  Thanks for the help.

Hi, if it's able to locate internet metadata then it should be saving folder.jpg's for albums, assuming you've turned on the necessary features.

I thought I did but mybe not. I'm doing it over a network I.E. I'm running Emby Server from machine 1, and trying to change music files on machine 2.  Should I create a portable emby server instance, and run a library scan on my server?  This might be easier than going through every setting.

What would have to be turned on in order to make this work? What settings do I have to change?

Under library -> metadata try turning on the audiobd provider for albums and artists. then try manually refreshing some of your albums.

I don't see that option. I only see metadata settings for movies

I'm in library\metadata. Under preferred metadata language it says these items are customizable on a per library basis but I only see choices for movies and TV under media type. Wouldn't this apply to my whole library

There is a drop down for each content type there.

I might have gotten this figured out. I'll do a library scan and have another look tomorrow. Thanks for the help so far.
