I'd like to keep a copy of the artwork for every single song, as a backup, in a nominated folder. How do I extract the artwork in it's .jpg (or any other format) to a single folder. I am not looking to export to .txt file.

Here are 3 ways to extract images (See my video)
1. Extract images, one image after the other with the mouse in the folder: Images (TEST)
Or place the audio files in the folder: Images (TEST) 2
1. Click on the image on the right: Choose extract cover...
The image will be placed in the folder where the audio file is: Images (TEST) 2
and where you can choose in which location on the hard drive you want to place the image
2. To extract several images at the same time, which are located in the folder: Images (TEST) 2
Click on the top icon: Actions (Quick)
Choose the option: Export cover to file
Programmed: Format string for image filename:
Example: %artist% - %album%
Click OK

The format string could also contain a path, e.g.
Format string: `d:\music\pictures\%artist%_%album%_%title%_%_cover_type%`
