Hello,
How can I add Album Covers to my music files or folders?
How is it done? Is a special tag?
If Mp3Tag doesn't do it how can I do it?
It would be great if it would compatible with ITunes.
Thanks,
Miguel

MP3Tag cannot save album covers inside ID3v2 tags yet.

- Download Amazon Cover Downloader from [Mares Web Forums](http://www.maresweb.de/forums/index.php?showtopic=41) and take it as a tool in MP3Tag.
- Download all the covers to your music-folders.
- Get [Konfabulator](http://www.konfabulator.com/) and the widget [iTunes Companion](http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=33155) from the widget gallery.
- Sort a playlist in iTunes with all first tracks of every album. iTunes-Companion will write the appropriate covers to ID3 for every matching album-tag while playing the playlist. Alas, albums with the same tag (e.g. "best of") will get all the same (wrong) coverimage.
Quite complicated, but it's a nice widget and in any case better than dragging-and-dropping.

You can choose in the options of iTunesCompanion, wether the cover is written into the actual song or the whole album.

Hi,
I found a simple software which works really fine:
Album Cover Art Downloader.
[http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/projects/albumart/](http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/projects/albumart/)
Try it. What do you think?
Cheers,
Miguel
