Matrix Browser album art problem again, broken with 2.24

[DSperber]

Looks like the same problem we saw with 2.21, which failed to perform the "check albumart" function at boot time so that no album art JPGs got miniaturized into 95x95 JPGs in \System\MusicDB and thus Matrix Browser had no covers to present... well, that bug seems to have returned with 2.24.

Cowon fixed the obviously unintended problem with 2.21 quickly last summer, coming out with 2.22 within a few weeks of the problem report.

I've opened up a ticket on the Cowon site for the same problem now in 2.24, and others should do the same... in order to get them to fix this quickly.

In the meantime, backing off temporarily back to 2.23 has once again restored "check albumart" at boot time and Matrix Browser once again works correctly.

Presumably a corrected 2.25 will be out in short order... if enough problem tickets get opened to get them to fix it quickly.

Thanks for passing that on. I was in the middle of downloading the upgrade. I've left a note through their website, too.

Meh, could care less about the crappy matrix browser (El maco's coverflow is so much better), I would rather 2.25 have bugfixes and add some new features. Updated to 2.24 without a second thought.

Unfortunately El Maco's coverflow isn't much use if half of your music is on the internal memory and the other half is on an SDHC card, which is a position many of us are in. (Unless I'm mistaken.)

Cowon's matrix at least combines all the music folders. I don't want to browse only half of my music colection.

Shame though.
