I have 400 m4a files of 45 rpm singles. I have 400 jpg files of corresponding artwork for each single (a picture of the record label). Corresponding files have the same names, but with different extensions (for example, Mama Lou.m4a & Mama Lou.jpg). I want to embed each jpg image into it's corresponding m4a file. Just wondering if there's an easy way to do this.

There is an action to get covers from files:

> **[Import Cover from File – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/import-cover/)**
>
> Documentation on the Import Cover action type that can be performed as Quick Action or as reusable workflow from Action Groups. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

If the filename and the TITLE really match, you can use as  
Format String: %title%.jpg

The import will fail if the title and filename do not match.  
You can filter for files without embedded cover with  
%\_covers% MISSING

Thanks! Unfortunately that doesn't work for what I'm trying to do. My example was not 100% accurate. The filenames are a bit more complex. A better example would be "274. The Tads - Your Reason (Dot 15518).m4a" & "274. The Tads - Your Reason (Dot 15518).jpg".

That looks suspiciously like the filename - which is not the title.

You could still use the property "filename" as part of the  
Format string: %\_filename%.jpg

Hahahahahaha! Yes. Quite suspiciously so.

Success! You are a genius. As well as a fabulous detective. Thank you so much, ohrenkino!
