Configuring Album Covers

Configuring Album Covers

Centova Cast can optionally retrieve information about your albums, including album art and purchase URLs, from various sources on the Internet, and in some cases even from within your actual media files. Once configured, the album information is looked up and retrieved automatically any time you add media to your station.

Once retrieved, the album art can be displayed in the Recent Tracks listing and in other places in the control panel.

To configure your album art options:

  1. In the navigation panel at the left-hand side of the screen, click Settings under the Configuration heading.

  2. Click the Albums tab if it is not already selected.

  3. Review the list of sources of album information. To enable a disabled source, click the red 'X' next to its name. To disable an enabled source, click the green checkmark next to its name.

    If you have a preference for one specific source of album information, you may optionally drag it to the top of the list to ensure that Centova Cast always checks it for album information before any of the other sources.

  4. If you have chosen to use Amazon.com as a source of album information, you may optionally click the Amazon.com tab and enter your Amazon affiliate ID to receive credits for any albums purchased by your listeners via your web site.

When you have finished making your configuration changes, click the Update button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
