FYI, it’s not only in the podcasts that the artwork is messed up. I tried using the Overdrive software to add audiobooks as well.Abought half the time it will work fine the other half it will not install the artwork. Also My Zune120 LOOSES album covers,they stay on the Zune but they will not transfer back to my computer.
Zune software seem’s to have a problem with ALL artwork.

Your program works great except as mentioned above no artwork! I have tried iconing the covers onto the folder in podcasts folder I have tried differant tag changing tools .They will all put the artwork on the files right up untill the file goes into my collection in ZUNE ! Thanks for a great program…

I hadn’t really thought about the covers until you asked, honestly I’m not sure… maybe the program Tag and Rename can add it in to the actual mp3 file itself?

Thanks this helped a lot.

I would suggest making the script recursive at some point so you can just point it at the podcast directory and allow it to fix the times on all the files in each child directory. Also a progress bar would be great. What you have works great for new CDs that I buy, it is just a lot of work for each of the audio books I have already on my Zune.

Also my software showed stuff in the podcast seciton even after I tried to remove it all so I had to delete “%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Zune” (this removes the library cache so it will be recreated at the next startup from the directories you have it setup to search)

Congrats, works like a charm. Progress bar would be welcome. Been looking forever just to find the cause and it’s as simple as the date made, but your site was the only place I found it identified. Thanks very much. This is one of the best tidbits ever for those of use that listen to alot of audio books.

Glad it worked for you, I am by no means a pro coder so It has its issues, maybe someday I will make the time to add a progress bar onto it.
Thanks for the positive feedback.

It worked! I did over a gig of files and the program seemed to lock up, but I was patient and lo and behold, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. You made my day. Thanks!
