All of my music has cover art embedded in the tags. Is it possible to copy that to the folder art?

Yes this can be done using the Export Cover to File feature.

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

Actually I think I asked this wrong. What I am looking to do is download "artist" art aka picture of singer or band that I can apply as folder art. Does anyone know how to do this in batches?

How would you do that manually (without Mp3tag)?  
How do you decide, which "picture of a singer" would match your requirements?

See e.g. here:

> Thank you so much for this! smiley Worked through it again and have it working... almost! I'm in just downloading the artist image and saving this in the artist folder. Currently it will save it to the album folder, do you know if it's possible to change the syntax to save it up one folder? e.g. save to "/Arcade Fire/" rather than the album folder "/Arcade Fire/Funeral" Thanks again for your help slightly_smiling_face
