Yes, I already have the mp3's on my G: drive. Do you know of a command or batch file utility I can use to do the renaming of the jpeg's to folder.jpg and copy them with the same directory and subdirectory structure?
MC has all the needed tools integrated. It can handle image files as well as audio files.
Here are my instructions. The correct order is important.
1. Import the image files from your F: drive to MC. Select these options in the import dialog (File > Import Media):
2. After importing select all image files and use the Fill Properties From Filename tool with these options. (Tools > Library Tools > Fill Properties From Filename)
3. Select the image files again and use the Copy Disk File tool for copying the files to a temporary folder on the G: drive (Tools > Library Tools > Copy Disk File).
4. Delete the current image files from the library (not from the disk). Select all > right-click > Delete. (This is optional. You can continue using MC for cataloging the images.)
5. Go to the MC options and set the track image options like this. You can alternatively use the Next to file [Folder.jpg] option, but that is not necessary unless you really need Folder.jpg files for some other programs. MC can use both naming systems.
6. Import the MP3 files from the G:\mp3s folder.
7. Import the images from the G:\ImageTemp folder
8. Select the new images and use the Rename Files From Properties tool for moving the files (Tools > Library Tools > Rename Files From Properties). You can optionally tick the Filename option and write "Folder.jpg" there (if you selected this system at 5.)
9. Select all mp3 files and use the Quick Find cover art tool (Tools > Image > Quick Find In File / Cover Art Directory).
That's about it. Try this first with a few test files. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
