Hello guys, is there a way to put multiple covers on several songs? Or can it only be done manually one by one?  
For example, I have 20 songs  
5 are from the same album and therefore will have the same cover, but the other 15 are different from each other (different artist and album), that's what I mean, I saw that MusicBrainz and Discogs are there but it can't find the songs I have

Where would you find the covers?  
In the file system or do you need a web source?

I copy the cover on Google, if I can't find it I search for it on SoundCloud or Spotify, I drag the URL of the cover or copy the specific image

You can drag&drop images directly from the browser onto the image field in the tag panel (and then save the modification).  
This works for all selected files - they all get the same cover.  
If you want to assign different covers to different files, you have to treat them individually.

There are other programs around like AlbumArtDownloader that can look for different covers for a set of files.  
See e.g. here:

> [@How to use AlbumArtDownloader in Tools for Cover Art](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/how-to-use-albumartdownloader-in-tools-for-cover-art/19422):
>
> [AlbumArtDownloader](https://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/) is arguably one of the best free album cover art downloaders around. It effortlessly searches a large number of cover art sources with standalone scripts that are constantly updated. And it presents all the found art with previews, sizes, etc. Download and install AlbumArtDownloader from SourceForge: [https://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/](https://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/) In MP3TAG, click on Tools and select Options... (Ctrl-O shortcut) In the Mp3tag Options window, select Tools on the left side,…

But for MP3tag the described way is the one.

How did I not know that?!? I've always used the right-click Add Image function.

Thanks!
