Is there a way to conditionally run actions based on their file type?

I would like to run a set of actions on a mixture of FLAC and MP3 files, but only add album art to MP3.

If I understand things correctly, MP3Tag will add the PICTURE tag to any and all file types it supports. Which is not exactly what I want.

Thanks!

No, this is not possible.

No, Mp3tag only adds cover art to tags where cover art is supported. The latest [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de) includes support for cover art in Vorbis Comments of FLAC files.

Kind regards,
