Situation is:
You’ve got established back covers for every track and they’re 1/1 the only cover so far. they have like in my situation the description of [https://exedexes1.com](https://exedexes1.com) because I like to have a terse extra mention of my website on the back cover.
Now: you haven’t set your front cover because you decided that you build your front cover at the end of doing the last track and only upon-release.
Technically: you can add the front cover, which ends up being 2/2 and then you’re stuck cutting the back cover to swap the positions. This would be fine except: on cut your Type and descriptions don’t persist!
Getting to the point: the request is to have a toggle setting so that you can choose or not, to have the Cover Type and Cover description -stay with- the cover you just-cut in the paste buffer.
Extra credit: being able to move the cover indices up or down when you have more than 2 by being able to type numbers.
2nd Extra credit: lastly so that it ends all discussion forever, directory-wide being able to swap a selection of covers all being 1st covers to the 2nd or some other index in the ordering.
Why? on the mp3 players if it’s a crude mp3 player that is bought for cheapness like the Ruizu mp3 players, they only show the first cover. I have my DPS logo which is the back-cover logo on like the first 300 releases. It would be pleasant to have swap capabilities etc if all three requests were there i could deftly move around the 3rd cover also which would be the individual as-a-single different Front cover than the album cover.
Probably most artists are not so spammy but some synthesizer bedroom producers put a track out every few days, making an album a monthly chore.
Sorry for such a chatty post!

Check out the function "Manage covers ..." from the context menu of the cover section in the tag panel.
See also the [changelog](https://www.mp3tag.de/en/changelog.html)
[2025-07-18] NEW: added function 'Manage covers...' to cover menu, which allows for adding,removing, replacing, adjusting, and reordering of embedded cover art in one or multiple files.
And the documentation
> **[Manage Covers – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/manage-covers/)**
>
> Manage covers of one or many files. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
and see whether that helps.
That function should move cover positions without the need to cut&paste.

thank you and it may well be that i was lazy taking optional updates and just said no to it and forgot
(update, after install): yeah that’s….perfect.
I am indeed silly. Batch moves would be nice but rarely would folks be in my position to need hundreds of it
