I have a mp3 folder that I have already downloaded the cover art. I would like to add the cover art to each of the mp3 files in that folder. Is there any way that I can do with without connecting to the internet and changing the files I currently have. I just started using the database function and it is great but I don't want to mess anything up by connecting to the internet and modifying the current files. I hope that you understand what I an trying to do. Thanks in advance. ---

Yes, you can use an action Import cover from file to mass-add cover art from local files or use the extended tag dialog at ![:mt_tag:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/e7edc735a96d8d241c37593e98667ab3dc20c6b6.png ":mt\_tag:") View \> Tags... to add the cover art manually.

Can you mass import covers and filter out the mp3:s that already has a cover embedded, to avoid having double covers in some files? ---

You can create a new column "Covers" via View \> Columns and use %\_covers% as value. After that just click on the column header to sort the files by cover count and select only those which doesn't have a cover yet. Kind regards, Florian ---
