I have a cover art jpg file in the folder with the music files, and Mp3Tag is set to show the art from the folder. That means I can see the art in the tag panel. It seems like I should be able to right-click on the image in the tag panel and tell it to use the image as frontcover. However, to emb…

Jimmy Neutron: Thanks for the answer. Maybe I don't understand the import process, but the cover art filenames are not consistent. It would be a lot harder to type the filename to import each time versus dragging the image into the box. You can import the first picture files by using wildc…

Jimmy Neutron: I have a cover art jpg file in the folder with the music files, and Mp3Tag is set to show the art from the folder. However, to embed the art into the music file, I have to use another program and drag 'n' drop the cover art jpg over the same image that is already showing. You…

Mike_nl: Format string for image filename: "name of image file" (I use folder.jpg) Import cover as: Front Cover Thanks for the answer. Maybe I don't understand the import process, but the cover art filenames are not consistent. It would be a lot harder to type the filename to import each …

Jimmy Neutron: However, to embed the art into the music file, I have to use another program and drag 'n' drop the cover art jpg over the same image that is already showing. You can embed the album-art without using another program. You can add a cover-file by a right mouse click on the cove…

Mike_nl: Can you give an example to what the Cover Art files are named, because you can use placeholders like %artist% %title% in the Format string dialog of the import function Or use as Poster said, right mouse click and "Add Cover" OK, in the Eric Clapton folder, there are 5 other folder…

Jimmy Neutron: For example, Eric Clapton - Time Pieces has the eleven tracks and one jpg named ericclapton_timepiecesthebestofe_74mf.jpg (the name the album art site gave it). Also, Eric Clapton - Unplugged has the 14 tracks and one jpg named eclapt-unplug_07.jpg (the name the album art site g…

[image] poster: There is no system in naming the cover-files, so a mass-import is not possible. The "Import cover from file" action allows wildcards. If there is only one JPG file in each album folder a mass-import is possible with this format string: This will import the one and only JPG …

[image] poster: No, that is not possible. But you can define the folder so that there is no navigating necessary: File > Options -> Directories -> Cover Art Directory : %_folderpath%\%album%\ I just tried this out and it makes things much easier. Thanks!

[image] ryerman: The "Import cover from file" action allows wildcards. Ahhh. This is interesting. I will have to give it a shot. There should be only one art file in each folder. 95% of the time it is a jpg, but sometimes it is a png. I could deal with that on a case-by-case basis.

Jimmy Neutron: There should be only one art file in each folder. 95% of the time it is a jpg, but sometimes it is a png. I could deal with that on a case-by-case basis. Or run the action twice and change the extension in the format string. Then you wouldn't have to worry about which type …
