hi,
even though all of my music has it's artwork properly embedded into
the actual file, by going to get info and pasting into the artwork
section, so that it displays in the bottom left of itunes, random
songs and albums' artwork does not display when found within
quicksilver.

here's a screenshot of an itunes song search for 'i just':

the 2nd song in the list of quicksilver's search results is 'i just
don't know what to do with myself' by the white stripes, here's proof
that this song definitely has artwork embedded in the file, as there's
artwork in the bottom left corner of itunes:

i'm stumped on this one, anybody know how i can fix this?

thanks,
scott

Try this: http://docs.blacktree.com/quicksilver/plug-ins/itunes_plug-in

"Track art in ID3 2.2 tags will not be used. Upgrade the tags to 2.3
or higher. To do this, select the tracks in iTunes, then open the
Advanced menu, and choose “Convert ID3 Tags…”."

I updated all files to 1d3 v2.4 in order to get album artwork to show,
now QS quits unexpectedly when i jump from track to track. Any
thoughts?

Thanks.

Figures. I haven't heard that one before. :) I've heard of crashes
but not specifically when changing tracks. What versions of QS, OS X
and iTunes? Check the console logs (you can search for Quicksilver)
for any hints.

Remove (uninstall) any QS plugins you aren't specifically using.

OS X 10.5.2, QS B54 (3815), iTunes 7.6.2

Here's the rub, it works fine showing tracks (with very little
artwork) from my ipod, but quits when I try to play tracks from my
library which is on a frewire drive. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help.
