Title: Find MP3s with no embedded cover art
Post by: Araj on May 13, 2019, 08:11:07 am

Some of my MP3s don't have the cover art embedded in the ID3 tag. Is there a way to generate a list of all these files? I thought I might be able to do that with a Smartlist, but the only options I can find there are the ones used for the standard "Audio -- Missing Cover Art" smartlist - and that returns a list of tracks with no cover art at all (embedded or external file), which doesn't help me.

You need to use a smartlist with these rules:

[Media Type]=[Audio] -[Image File]=[Inside File]

You can copy and paste this into the import/export dialogue on the smartlist edit popup.

I can't test right now, but I would also expect that to return tracks with no cover art as well. If those were not welcome in the list, just append an exclusion to swiv3d's string...

Code: [Select]

[Media Type]=[Audio] -[Image File]=[Inside File] -[image file]=[]

Thanks a lot guys - that has saved me lots of time. I ignored the "Custom" option for smartlists before because I had no idea how to formulate the string.
