Title: How can I test if coverart ist embedded in audio file
Post by: phoenix91 on February 04, 2011, 09:58:37 am

Is there a way (expression) to select audio files with embedded coverart?
The tag content of the physical audio file should be tested, not the library field.

Thanks for any help.

Following is a smartlist I use.

[Media Type]=[Audio] [Image File]=[] ~sort=[Album],[Artist],[Media Type],[Album Artist (auto)],[Disc #],[Track #],[Name]

After looking at the smartlist I posted, I realized it is just checking for missing cover art. To find if the cover art is embedded you have to check if Image File is not = Inside File. You can use the following smartlist to do this check.

[Media Type]=[Audio] -[Image File]=[Inside File] ~sort=[Album],[Artist],[Media Type],[Album Artist (auto)],[Disc #],[Track #],[Name]

thank you magic_randy:
The expression doesn't show any files.
I think it's because [Image File]=[] is testing the library content of this field and not the tag content in the file.

My audio files are all tagged with a coverart file in the coverart folder, that means [Image File] in the library has a content like "x:\Coverart\abc.jpg". Nonetheless there are physical audio files that have still embedded coverart. Whatever the reason is. When I sync these files to my GalaxyTab they show with the wrong coverart :-(

So, I would like to filter all these files and manually correct them in one go.

Thanks again. My reply was too slow to be ahead of your second help post.
