New to MP3Tag and was wondering if there was a step by step guide on how to add artwork to DSF files from ripped SACDs. I have many DSF files on several hard drives and would like to add album art to them. I tried doing it to a few recently ripped SACDs that are still on my desktop (PC with Windows 11).

I'm able to select the tracks and add artwork from Discogs. I then hit save but the file on the desktop does not show the artwork. When I click on the file it shows it was "modified" with date and time the artwork was added. I'm not sure why the artwork does not show.

In all honesty I'm not the most well versed with computers and programs like MP3Tag. Most likely missing some steps or actions. Any help with this would be much appreciated!

In the web sources results dialogue there is a Utils button which is actually a menu in which you can set where and how to save any found picture.

You could filter for files that do not have an embedded cover with  
%\_covers% MISSING

Sorry but I really do not know where I'd find those actions. Or how to filter using "%\_covers% MISSING". That's why a MP3Tag for Dummies is really needed.

There is an extensive documentation about MP3tag, including a chapter about first steps.

Thank you! I figured it out thanks to your help. I'm now on my journey to add album art to hundreds of ripped SACDs. It was the Utility button and it needed to be set correctly. Thanks again much appreciated!
