Question - Mass export of album cover art to the song/album directory
Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2021 6:09 pm
Is it possible to perform a mass export of the album art for every folder/album/song across a complete collection?
I switched to MPD on audiophile linux as my source a long time ago and finally MPD has the ability to provide album covers to applications that manage MPD (MAFA, Rigelian, etc) but it relies on the image file being in the same directory as the album/songs. For years I simply embedded the cover art in the file its self. So I have the covers in place, but not in a way that MPD can read them natively.
I have a pretty good sized collection (currently 63,000+ .flac, .dsf and .mp3) and I'm having to go through them one at a time to dump the cover art to the directory. If possible to do them in bulk it would be a huge time saver.
Thank you.
