Since I already have the coverart embedded via id3 tags, can I export everything in a completely different directory?
something like /music/covers/%\_directory% .jpg \<-which always changes, obviously.
instead of
/music/artist - album/%\_directory% .jpg
Then I'm going to create a simple database, also using a csv file.
Thank you!

Nevermind, this is nice, it works with '../covers/%\_directory% .jpg ' 🙂
