How to get Album Art?

Post by Jlaz »

Brand new user here. Is there a command to tell MMW to go fetch missing album art and load it in the respective files?

Thank you

Tools > Options > Metadata Lookup does it automatically when playing a file. On the Artwork tab of Properties there is a button to do a lookup

I have found that the 'best' way to do this is manually ... I go to Discogs first and look for a 500x or 600x image. then save that off to the folder with the album tracks in it. Then go into MM (i actually prefer Tag&Rename) and add the album art to the tracks. This way you get the image you want.

Any idea how to get the album art to be stored in the same location as the MP3 files for that album?

Hi. I've been using MM for about a year now, and only recently having upgraded to a newer phone and reloading my music now have no album art, and pressing on the screen used to give me the option to add art but now does not. I'm not 100% sure on what I'm doing and honestly some of the jargon in this post confuses me. In layman's terms, how can I apply art to each track/album??
