Multiple covers in box sets
Something that I've come across.... I've been buying "aging rocker :D ;D " CDs which have "new" covers, in that they are different to the original LP (ahem, that's vinyl to our younger readers ;) ); also some "double CDs" which have two "originals" (LP or CD) in a "new" cover; as an example, the Ozric Tentacles "doubles" have covers which are a melange of the two originals.
It would be nice to be able to input both the "new" cover, and the original(s).

This is something that I would like also ... and I think that it has been requested before!

This feature would be fantastic !!
Re: Multiple covers in box sets
My ideas are nowhere near being fully formed but here's two (edit....having written this post, it may be four variants
Re: Multiple covers in box sets
How about Boxsets like the Grateful Dead's BEYOND DESCRIPTION and THE GOLDEN ROAD - twelve CDs each and Eagles EAGLES - nine CDs.
It will be great if all the respective covers would be available in the database.

Re: Multiple covers in box sets
I can only add one cover for the whole box-set. Is there no way to add a cover to each CD in the set?
Re: Multiple covers in box sets
Just about all my CDs are of the "aging rocker" variety ;)
I have found that I can add additional covers to the second and subsequent disks in a multiple box set, but they don't display on any of the normal lists, including the great new "tracks and covers" list. The only way to see the cover is to go back into properties and choose the artwork tab.
To add the additional cover, you need to expand the list to show all the CDs in the folder pane on the left hand side of the screen (by clicking the + sign next to the box set). Then right click the particular CD in the expanded list and choose properties from there. This will then display the properties for the particular CD you have chosen. Go to the artwork tab and then you can paste a different cover to the one saved for the whole box. However the cover chosen for the first disk becomes the cover for the box set.
So, doing this with the Nuggets box for example, I can have the cover of the box associated with CD1, which is also displayed as the cover for the whole box set on the various list screens. Then I can have the individual covers of CD2, CD3 and CD4 "hidden" on the properties pages of those CDs. This still doesn't let me put the cover of CD1 anywhere, and it also doesn't do anything for the 2on1 type disks mentioned by the_mole.
It is also the case that I have some disks where I would like to store other artwork, say the back cover, or US/UK cover variations (ok that is not strictly a catalogue of the disk I own, but rather some more general information). So I would also like to see the ability to associate more than one cover with a disk. At the very least it would be helpful to see the individual covers displayed on the "tracks and covers" view when the box set is expanded.

Multi Covers in box set - Has this been cured?

I am having problems adding differing album covers to box sets and a quick search through the forum show that this was discussed a year ago. Was a successful conclusion reached (I fear not!) or is there a work around?
This is likely to be a growing problem with the increasing number of sets with mini LP covers - I am currently entering a 55 disc set, all in individual covers, which are all obviously different to the box set cover.
