Album Download Zip Files

[Pelagio Bosch]

Inow need to access all of my images from a specific album, so I'm happy that I have the option to right click and "Store Album Locally", but is it right that it will save the images only by date and not by the album they were part of? How does that make any sense or at least an option? I spent hours putting images into their respective album and now it will save them only by date so if I want all the images I need to get into every date sub directory and fetch the images from there? This cannot be the only way to do it... is it?

Thanks for the reply. I totally understand that Lightroom is nondestructive and therefore when you save you get the option to JPEG or "Original + edits", but once you import images to "Creative Cloud" via Lightroom import, you don't have any access to the files, so you can "store them locally" or like you said "save them". I just don't see the value in "store them locally".

Great, but it gives it by date rather than by album which is what you (or at least I) spent so much time on organizing them and now, I cannot access them based on that time spent so still same point. I don't think the feature is useful

What we probably don't understand is why exactly you need to have access to those locally stored files in some form of album-based folder. What would be the advantage to you, given that they would be just a local copy of the unedited original files?

For me it is essential, because when I already have the photos edited the way I like them, I want to save the final file and share the final one (the final file) so that other people can download it or use it on the web or simply put it in the background on the mobile.

I understand that the original should be saved + the changes, but I also want to save a final file in jpg format for everyone

For Lr cloud ecosystem, you should expect to "share" the images diretly from within Lr. The expectation is not to utilize the internal structure, or export a "final version" back into Lr for sharing.

How dare you accuse anyone of not understanding something that couldn't be harder to understand. I've been using Photoshop since 1995 and have never had ant problems understanding upgrades for the most part (there's always something). The LIGHTROOMS are robbing me of hours and hours of free time for one reason or another!!! I finally figured out why I have a duplicate folder in Lightroom but now I don't know what to do about it. I spent a few hours uploading a high volume SD card. I organized each group of events into Albums. It took a long time for them to all upload, but when all was said and done, the very first folder (and the one I wanted the most) was not there. So, I created another folder and uploaded them again with a slightly different name. Now the 2nd folder still appears in LR only, but LR Classic has both. I have verified that if I delete one photo from one folder it deletes across the board, in other words, the 2 folders that appear in Classic and the one folder that appears in LR. It is simply wrong of you to accuse anyone of ignorance when confusion is what you do better than anything else.

I'm also finding this extremely frustrating. If I want to migrate my library from one account to another, or even just export individual folders, there's no way at all to do this? I can only export/migrate files by date, but if I reimport them I have to start all over again re-titling them, regrouping them into folders and reorganizing their placement within those folders?

I basically have to lose hours and hours of work because you guys couldn't be bothered to include a simpler way to download/migrate individual folders? I've already spent hours trying to figure out a way to do this and still have not found a satisfactory result. I'm very aggravated and disappointed in the share/export/import functions of this software.

I am also having this issue and am extremely frustrated by it. All I want to do is migrate my folders from one creative cloud account to another and retain the folder structure. Why on earth this is so hard to do is beyond me. Seems like something that could be done with a flip of a switch somewhere on an adobe server. Seriously reconsidering my subscription.

Why would we want to go backwards to the classic version to make something work. I pay alot for CC and do not want work arounds to get my project done. I just want to make a slide show and am finding it impossiable to do simply.

This is fundamental to how Lightroom Cloudy works. You are not supposed to interact with the locally stored image copies. The fact that you can locally store them is only meant to give you quick access in the program. NOT to allow you to work on the images outside of Lightroom. You should only interact with your images through the interface. This is foundational to the program. Lightroom Classic is the version of Lightroom where you interact with your images as stored locally more directly. Cloudy is NOT the newer version. Classic is usually updated earlier or at the same time with new features and is what basically every professional uses. Cloudy is for people that do not need all the features of Classic and like the fact that the catalog and images are all in the cloud and look the same everywhere you open the app. Cloudy is just different and uses the cloud as the authorative version of your images. Classic uses the local storage as the authorative copies.

I have searched for this, and it seems very basic, but I can't find an answer. I have added 10,000 mp3s to Local Files. This is bought and accumulated material over decades, some is totally obscure (old spoken word lectures etc). The music all appears as a totally useless list of 10,000 files in alphabetical order in Local Files.

Currently there is no option for the local files to appear under Albums or Artists in Your Library. We always strive to improve our app and the experience with it. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and will make sure to pass it on to the right team.

You can also have a look in our Idea Exchange to see if someone else has already made a similar suggestion. If there isn't one, you can give these steps a go and submit your idea. That way other users can support it. Rest assured that the higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for it to be implemented.

Do you see the artwork on the file in finder or explorer? I found a lot of recent downloads have not embedded the artwork in the file but is shown in the Apple Music app when using Catalina, not had the issue with Big Sur.

Thanks for your quick answer.Yes, these come from iTunes/Apple Music. These are new files, recently purchased. I always leave them in the Music file structure, I do not move them around. And as I view them in the Finder, the album art is shown, so it seems to be available in the m4a file.

Attempting to transfer local files on my laptop to phone, but the album art is absent once on my phone. The art is shown on Spotify on my laptop but only once the Spotify on my phone is closed, when both my laptop and phone are running Spotify the art appears as a black screen. I'm not sure what the problem is, I have transferred numerous other files without this issue of the album art not appearing.

You can do this by creating a new folder in a different directory on the MacBook and moving your local files to this folder. Then you'll have to delete the old folder you originally created for the local files.

I wonder, how creating a new local folder will help get album cover art images from Spotify servers? Every album has its own link to cover image, local files don't have such link, that's why covers are missing for local files.

To mess around with iTunes's cataloging system does not seem optimal to me. Won't that cause problem with the local catalogue? And it's not a few files we are talking about either. Isn't this a bug in the app that Spotify needs to take care of?

Can you try deleting those local files from your PC and reuploading them. Keep in mind that both the app on your phone and your PC should be turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi when you reupload the files for best results.

Note that Spotify only supports music files obtained via legal purchase or copyright-free download and can't guarantee that illegally downloaded or converted music files will work as expected with the app.

I have found this, but it doesn't seem to work, or explain how to do what I need. If indeed it does provide the facility to scan a directory and move all the files about based on the tags, which is what I need.

Your tags must be written well if you want it to be in the way you want your folders to look. This app isn't an all-in-one music organizing app thing. It reads metadata and sorts accordingly. As the developer said so himself "garbage in, garbage out"

Apparently there is a problem with the albumartist tag for a few people while using it. It could be due to the version of tags used. All my tags were in ID3v2.3 format, and I found no such issues. Just informing before you take the leap.

I have about 2300 CDs already ripped to FLAC with the songs numbered and art organized into album files on my hard drive. Do I just select all the files and drag them across my network to the "rips" folder in the Bluesound Vault's internal drive (like I would copy any file), or is there a specific way to import these? Thanks.
