Questions / Auto-Tag Artwork With Local Files
« on: March 19, 2023, 10:22:19 PM »
Hey, Everyone,
Just wanted to see, is there a way to make MusicBee automatically add, remove or otherwise update artwork that is already downloaded?
When I add music to my library, I always look for the highest quality versions of the album and single artworks I can find, then download them to the folder with the MP3s. I attribute all the album covers as 'Album Cover' and the single artworks as 'Album Cover (back),' then I base their filenames on what they are. Here is an example:
For all the images, I count how many versions I can find of a particular cover and count it at the end of the filename, preceded by an underscore. With the singles, I precede the underscore with the disc and track number associated with the song file. For both album and single artworks, the ones with "Original" means I had to alter the original image, typically to make them square, but I always keep the originals. If it says "Original," I don't add it to the songs' metadata in MusicBee; just the altered versions.
With a filenaming scheme this detailed, is there a way for MusicBee to automatically save the images into each song's metadata like I have them organized in the folder already? I realize how niche this sort of feature would be, but I figured there's no hurt in asking. Thank you for your input!
