Hi all, first and foremost, last time I had a hic-up, Poster helped me a lot and I want to thank him, is there a way to click a button for thanks? if not it would be a good idea . . . 🙂 I have a lot of music, buying cd's since 1990 I think . . . all my music is organized . . . Music\Artist\Disk\01 song.mp3 (all 128kbps .mp3)(Disk is only on Multiple CD per album) i.e. :\Music\B. B. King\1992 King Of The Blues [4 Disks Box Set]\Disk III\09 Blue Shadows.mp3 :\Music\B. B. King\1992 King Of The Blues [4 Disks Box Set]\Disk III\10 Ghetto Woman.mp3 :\Music\B. B. King\1992 King Of The Blues [4 Disks Box Set]\Disk III\11 Ain't Nobody Home.mp3 :\Music\B. B. King\1992 King Of The Blues [4 Disks Box Set]\Disk III\folder.jpg (all art are 500x500 .jpg) etc . . . Now the problem, for a long while I used the fruit product to organize and play my music but now, I prefer Daum PotPlayer (not a plug, only information dissemination, no affiliation whatsoever) but it is a great product and it loads the current cd's songs in it's currently playing playlist, very convenient, especially in my current organization preferences. Now The Problem after I have laid out the current background the fruit has downloaded a lot of artwork, some songs have multiple artwork, I used Discogs as my reference for album art, I could scan the covers but that was a lot of unnecessary work for nothing. So what I want to achieve: delete all imbedded album art and insert the folder.jpg that is in all the individual folders Is there a way to perform that? Custom Action Maybe? I did research this but haven't found this exact problem so here we are 🙂 ---

ok, so I made a new action group first action is: Remove Fields "PICTURE" works second: import cover from file "%\_ext%" (Front Cover) don't work ☹ each folder " = 1CD " has it's own image. All are named folder.jpg and all are sized 500x500 I dunno what to do. Spent the last 2 hours googling on it with no glimpse of remotely possible hope ☹ on another note, should I not save after removing the embedded art and before imbedding new one ? ---

> [@AABoyz](#): > > each folder " = 1CD " has it's own image. All are named folder.jpg and all are sized 500x500 You don't have to delete the existing cover art because this is done with the import-ation. Action-Type: Import cover from file Format string for image filename: folder.jpg Import cover as: Front-Cover Mark: Delete existing cover art ---
