Title: Converting FLAC to mp3 while embedding cover art
Post by: EasyTiger on January 11, 2010, 06:39:19 pm

Hi, I've got my music library saved as FLAC files with the Folder.jpg cover art in each directory.

I'm to trying to convert everything to mp3 using the inbuilt converter (so I can have a separate library for my ipod) but I want the cover art to be embedded into each separate mp3 file. I can convert to mp3 easily enough, but it doesn't inject the Folder.jpg into each file. Any way to do this?

cheers

In the sync options, under Audio, there is the option:  "Cover Art: Add to Tags".

Why not just embed the Album art right into the FLAC file from the get-go? Then any conversion in the future carries it over automatically. I ditched the ole "folder.jpg" scenario...eons ago....

I also believe one can copy and convert to the ipod at the same time without even touching your original files.
