I created a new Action. I selected 'Remove fields except" and added - artist;album;year;track;genre;comment;unsynchedlyrics This way I can save only the main fields and get rid of the extended fields I dont want. But I cant figure out how to save the cover. Does anyone know what to add to the string?

Use PICTURE as field name to keep the cover (the field name COVER is also possible with the latest [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de)).

Best regards,
