Hello, friends I have the following difficulty. I would like to know the pixel dimension of the cover image. It would be 250x250px ??? I'm trying one that fits well, but the ones I've tried are either too big or too small. So, what would be the ideal dimension for the cover image? I thank you for…

[image] astrohip: I don't like Mp3tag's image reduction process, as it's fixed at 70%, which is too much compression. Using 90% is a better alternative. I wish Mp3tag offered different image compression choices. I've now added an option to configure the image quality when resizing cover art v…

You can put whichever size you like. There are two points to consider: the size of your artwork, and its internal quality. stealing from this site here . Personal MP3 players e.g. iPod, smartphones - aim for small/medium size images of around 300x300 pixels. The higher resolution players are aro…

I generally use 500x500. That's a good general size, that works well in most places I use images. It's not so large as to overwhelm most players (some of which balk if the image is too large), nor so small as to be a thumbnail on larger viewers. When I search for images to use, I try to avoid using…

Also, in case you weren't aware, you can set a column in Mp3tag to show you the current image size. %_cover_width%x%_cover_height%

Hello Astronave, thanks for your help. This option to define a column in Mp3tag to show the size of the current image, seems to be the best way to solve the problem. Astronave, I could send you a short video teaching how I can and where I can insert the line of code>% _cover_width% x% _cover_heigh…

I am no expert, but here is how I think I did it... On the Menus, choose View|Customize columns... In the box that comes up, select NEW, then: Give it a name, for example, CoverSize In Value, enter %_cover_width%x%_cover_height% leave the rest of the fields blank You will see your new column o…

Wow, that is fantastic! Thanks for doing this. I just dl'ed the new version, so I'll give it a try later today. I also subscribed to that thread, so I can keep up with new updates. Don't know why I didn't do that before now. :slightly_smiling_face:

I just used the new image reduction with configurable compression/quality setting. Works great! I used to spend a fair amount of time pre-editing images before I added them in Mp3tag, this will save time & effort by doing it all in one program. Many thanks for doing this. :star_struck:

Really appreciate the feedback and happy you like it! :smiley:

I like to see cover art when I play music in my vehicle. But it won’t display any art that’s bigger than 235 x 235 pixels. So the size you pick should correlate to whatever player you want to use.
