I want to create a folder with just the cover art for my music collection. Is there any way to export the cover art from my mp3s to a folder other than the one the mp3 is in? I only seem to be able to export the cover art to the original folder the mp3 is in.

If you define an absolute path as the cover filename, it should work.  
Something like this:

d:\music\covers\%artist%\_%album%.jpg
