Title: Embedded Album art
Post by: olrac on 2008-10-29 04:11:59
I need to find a way to batch embed album art in FLAC files.
As an example, if I have a directory containing 001.flac, 002.flac, etc, and then also contains 001.jpg, 002.jpg, etc. corresponding to the audio files, how can I use mp3tag or perhaps metaflac to embed those JPGs in the corresponding FLACs?

I need something that doesn't require individually selecting the art and assigning it to each FLAC.

Thanks, rohangc.
I saw that thread, but it's really all Greek to me.  I've tried using metaflac as shown in that and other threads and on the FLAC website, but nothing's worked.  I'm a beginner at this stuff, and I've never used any of the command line tools to do anything with FLAC.

I keep trying to use the --import-picture command, but I get command errors.  Maybe I just don't understand the syntax requirements for assiging wildcard values and associating each JPG with a specific audio file.
As for the BAT file, I can't really tell what each line is doing, so I'm not sure what to do with it.  Do I need to specify any parameters before saving it as a BAT?
