![]() Tips & Tricks for Assigning Album Cover Art to your Music Library The following links give a good overview ![]() There is a vast amount of information on the internet about how to locate missing album art and various tools which can be used for embedding images into mp3 files. RecoverArt.zip has been superceded by a new version (see below) General points can be done via replies to this topic, but anyone with more specific issues can contact me by PM and we can arrange email follow up if required. If anyone has any problems, or wants to provide feedback or suggestions, please feel free to do so. The script and instructions are in the attached RecoverArt.zip file. The script will search an entire music collection on local storage or removable media (SD card or USB stick), identify all albums without a cover art image file, extract images embedded in mp3/wma music tracks to Jpeg files, resize images to any specified dimension, and remove MS Windows hidden file attributes. This is entirely self contained and does not require installation but unfortunately it is only for those with a Windows computer. However, this can all be laborious and time consuming, so I have written a PoweShell script ( RecoverArt) to bring it all together in one place. It is possible to fix the other issues manually using a mixture of software tools and MS Windows commands, such as the 'attrib' command referred to in another topic. Details of how to do this, and sources or artwork, can be found in the web pages listed at the end of this post. Physically missing art, often caused by a CD not being recognised during ripping or 'lost' when moving music between devices, can only be resolved by downloading images from Internet repositories (or finding the 'lost' art files). Much of this depends on the software used for ripping CDs, and MS Windows Media Player which is one of the most widely used media management tools, is one of the main sources for the above issues.
