I have lots of songs in different folders, i.e. I have a folder called 1980's with lots of songs in from different artists.
At the moment I right click on each song and then click Tag Sources \> Cover Art \> Discogs then pick the cover art.
However, this is very slow.
Is it possible to select all the songs in that 1980's folder and have MP£TAG automatically find and apply the cover art to them all please?
Thanks.
