I'm new to the mp3tag software, only started with it yesterday. I've got all my mp3's (2000+) with embedded album art, but I need to have album art in the album folder as a folder.jpg. Looking around the forums, I found the "Export cover to file" action which should do what I want. The following th…

Problem solved! The tracks showing in WMP and MediaMonkey were added months (Or days in MediaMonkey's case) ago, when the album art was indeed embedded. After playing around with MediaMonkey for a day or so, I converted all the ID3 tag versions up to 2.3 (Previously they were a mix of 2.3 and 1.som…

That's not the string for your purpose. If you want to create folder.jpg files, the string is simply folder

Ok, how do I enter that. Just entering "folder" as the string has no effect.

Do you see embedded cover art in Tag Panel View or in Extended Tag View? DD.20071228.1327.CET

Interesting. The answer to both questions is...... NO. But I know there's album art there because WMP11, Vista MCE (Admittedly just a WMP extension) and MediaMonkey all see it correctly. The ID3 tag version for all tracks is ID3v2.3 if that's relevant. Also noticed in the extended tag view that most…

[image] optomisticsi: Simple question, is MP3Tag supported in Vista? Yes, it is.
