[SOLVED] Help needed on MP3 Cover Art Tool
January 29th, 2020
firstoff the question :
Which tool would you use to populate mp3’s with cover art images embedded in the ID Tag ?
Then :
Iam talking about 30k ish files , all files are in the following format :
Artist – Title.mp3
All Files have a valid ID3v2 Tag with at least Artist & Title Info , some have the Album and composer , some not … (Compilations mostly have the additional info). The ID3v2 tag has been filled using mp3tag , unfortunately I have not yet found a tool which will populate the cover art.
Strangely tho, when copying the files to my Android phone and using the CoverArt App, it works flawlessly, is there a similar prog available for Unix / Windows ?
Thanks in advance for any replies and help.
I found a program that does this but it comes with a number of toolbars and advert things with it, so i won’t post the link.
Still looking for you…
Edit:
OK – MediaMonkey.
It goes to Amazon, downloads the track/album images and auto-adds them to the tags for you.
Tried it here, it works.
Warning – it takes over your file associations, if you use a media plaey it will hijack them.
I’ll keep searching…
Edit:
This is a LOT better, but is also less user friendly. It still does the searching, but you have to click buttons and move between windows, etc.. still auto adds the tags though.

Hey mate,
tried the latest one , the Album Art Downloader, and gotta say : Thanks a bunch for the help , really made things quite easy, especially the scripting support.
Thanks again m8
