> do you name the art as the mpg

If the picture file is named like the audio file then you could [create an action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/actions-and-batch-operations/967/2) of the type  
"[Import cover from file](https://docs.mp3tag.de/actions/import-cover)" in which you enter as  
Format string: `d:\mycoverfolder\%_filename%.jpg`  
This would then import the covers for all the selected files where the filename of the audio file matches the filename of the picture file (except the extension).  
I bet that this goes much quicker than drag&drop and the search method that you use.  
Yet, if the filenames do not match, then nothing gets imported, so no harm done.

Just one footnote: I don't think that mpg files are supported by MP3tag.
