I have been using Amazon to locate Cover Art. I have been draging the art from an IE window to the Image action window. This seemed to work fine, but, I have discovered that all the art work is in a temp folder. Also, often the Image window only shows a file path, not the image, although the actual files does seem to be there.

How can I update these tracks to have the Cover Artwork put inside the tags (batch process?)?

Also, can I move these files from the Temp folder to the appropriate folders without having to do it one by one ( I have about 900 albums)

Thanks
Parker

Instead of dragging you could do:

- "right-click > copy" (in IE)
- select the album files and "right-click > paste"  (into MC's Action Window > File Properties > Image window)

Then the pasted image would use the selected location and naming rule.
(Tools > Options > File Location > Track Images Location)


The cover art location change from IE's cache folder is difficult. I don't know any other way than this:

- select the album files
- right-click > copy  (in Action Window > File Properties > Image)
- right-click > paste  (in Action Window > File Properties > Image)

You must do this for each album separately.

Thanks, I didn't realize that a copy/paste would change the file location and inbed the image. A lot of work, but it does work.

Using the Copy/Paste method to bring art over from Amazon is fine, but why does the drag & drop method not accomplish the same result?

Guess I'll start working...
