I did the same thing Nathan....
The older versions of the SlimServer software were quite a bit slower than the current one - so I turned that setting off too. :x

The Aggregator software works really well for me.....Glad to have the artwork with my music files - it hit appx 80%

I'm getting an odd result on the artwork thing.  If I set slimserver to browse by artwork, maybe 10-20% of the pictures come up (I have it set to display blanks if no art).  However, if I click on one of those titles that show no artwork, the individual album will come up-with artwork-every time.

My collection is organized in an artist/album folder setup.  Every folder (except a very rare few where I couldn't locate artwork) has two jpg's in it of the album art.  The first jgp is what I downloaded with Mediamonkey, usually from Amazon, and is labeled albumaname.jpg.  I think copied that jpg elsewhere, renamed it to "cover" and put it back in the album folder.  And for many albums I went further, going back into Mediamonkey and for each song in the album, marked the cover.jpg as album art.

An example of my system-Martin Sexton's "Black Sheep" album would be in .../My Music/Martin Sexton/Black Sheep and would contain two jpgs labeled Black Sheep.jpg and cover.jpg.

Any ideas what is going wrong?  I'd really like to be able to browse albums by artwork.

I had the same problem. Then a few days later they all showed up. This happened even though I did a complete rescan after downloading the jpg's. Don't know why. If you just got yours, then maybe in a day or two they will show up?

That's the solution!  Before I was rescanning for new or changed files, but it works if you pick the complete rescan option.
