iTunes Won't Add Folders Located on Network Drive

Hello,

Hopefully somebody can help with my similair problem. I have all my music in mp3 format on my linux server, which runs glftpd + scripts that catalogue the mp3 upon upload into genres/year/artist to make for easier finding of songs. I then use samba to access the shares within the glftpd directory structure, e.g.; /glftpd/site/mp3/albums.. I have added this share into windows as a mapped drive (M:\). The problem is this, whilst I can add the folder/drive into iTunes, i cant manually update the album art. iTunes does find some are for the albums, but I have a different source which I want to use to update the art. I also noticed that its not just the art I cant edit, its the track info. This i expected becuase the tracks reside on a network share which glftpd has probably locked permissions on, however the album art i cant understand becuase the library resides on my windows pc.

Any ideas ?

i have a win 2003 server with basicly the same issues i've been screwing with the tags with some sucess but not all so i would start there


i wish they would make a server version for us with large databases and muiltiple ipods and pc's

+the album art i cant understand becuase the library resides on my windows pc.+

If you want to edit a track's artwork, it's like editing track info - the permissions are locked.


The iTunes downloaded art is in separate folders, not the ID3 tags in the actual mp3 files.
on XP the path is
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork

yo after reading this post i went back to screwing with this problem and found something, correpted files... i have this music database mgr.that found bad headers in my mp3 files it has a file repairer ran it and wala it worked.... this is going to sound cornie but, i d-loaded (err) purchesed all of areosmith disks and itunes only imported 4 of them then i fixed some bad files and i'm back in the saddle again!!!!!! i no i no
this may help
