Hi. I have a large collection of MP3 files from various sources, very few have album artwork.

Using MP3tag I can get artwork for about 50%. The others fail, because, I think, the album title is 'Greatest Hits' or 'Best of.. '

Any advice would be welcome

Thanks

KK

Usually you can edit the search string and add the artist name.  
Or you add the artist name straight away to the album with an action of the type "Format value" for ALBUM and the  
Format string: %album% \_ %artist%  
(or a formatting of your liking)

and then try the search again.
