I have yet to be able to get a full scan of all the music on my SD card - I have approximately 32000 files on a 1TB SanDisk card formatted as exFAT, with most all of them being MP3 alongside some wav, opus, flac, and ogg files. Embedded album art has been stripped from all of them. When doing a database scan it just runs for a few minutes then acts like it's done, but only a small fraction of my music is showing up.

I had a similar problem though with all flac files and more than a few minutes for the scan to finish. I kept rerunning the scan until all the files were added. I also found that sometimes the database would get corrupted and couldn't be read meaning I would have to delete it and start again. Rebooting the Tangara between scans seemed to prevent this. It took a while but I eventually got all the music in the database.

For those interested or having similar issues, this is being worked on over in the code repo - here's the link

Hi tbcollins1,

how did you remove the album art from all of your files? Is there software to do this with?

Thanks for your answer.

Cheers,

 I am not tbcollins1 but I did this using beets, the software the tangara team recommends. I followed
this tutorial.

Thanks for the response. I will check it out.

Edit: Ah. Having just watched the Beets intro clip I realize that this software is much too complicated for me. Anything other than a easy-teenage interface (like iTunes) causes mayhem on my Mac and enormous frustration on my part.

Thanks for the tipp, though!

You can remove art through a simple interface one at a time using Kid3 ( https://kid3.kde.org/ ). Open an album, select all files, untick 'Picture', hit save.

For a bulk command line solution there's EyeD3 ( https://eyed3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ), but that's a bit more technical.

Removing files manually isn't really an option; my audio library is simply too large. I'll check out EyeD3. Thanks for the tip!

A little late to this, but if you want to do this with an easy to use GUI program, I did it in MP3tag. It's free on Windows and I believe also runs under WINE on Linux. Just open the folder with your library, select all the tracks, right on the album art area on the left and choose "Remove Cover".

I also tried using beets at first and agree that the program is just a little too complicated and involved for me. MP3Tag can do most of what it does and it's a little easier to see and fully understand what you are doing.

MP3tag is what I've used to normalize the problem tags in my collection. If it had a folder browser tag it'd be about perfect for me but what it does have works.
