Hi all,

I would like to know if there is a way to get mp3taq to automatically assign albumart. For instance, if there is a "folder.jpg" in the same folder as a group of mp3s, it would automatically embed it into each mp3. Currently I use the Extended Tags dialog, but it sucks when you have to do 20 or so albums individually.

What would really be useful is if there was a string value for albumart to use during batch converts, maybe something like:

%genre%\\%artist%\\%year% - %album%\\%track% - %title% **%albumart%**...with a setting in the Options dialog to let the user tell mp3tag what filename to use (i.e. "cover.png")

Thanks 🙂
