Is there any way so that when you right click the cover art box to "add cover..." you can choose what folder you are sent to? I want a different location than where my music is kept. Thanks in advance!

It is not stored in MP3tag.  
But:  
You can copy a fully qualified path (including closing backslash) into the clipboard and paste it in front of the filename every time you save a coverart manually.  
Also you can automate this with an action of the type "Export cover" and insert as format string a fully qualified or partially qualified path and filename

%album%.jpg  
or  
d:\mp3\pics\%artist% - %album%.jpg  
etc.
