How to insert album cover art on music files?

I use Tag&Rename to tag all my WAV files. Never had a single issue with the information/album art showing up using the old Slim Devices/Logitech streamers or my current DIY computer using JRiver.

I have dBPoweramp and Mp3Tag.

Mp3Tag is (to me) slightly more user friendly. It cannot be easier. It is free, but it asks you to donate if you wish. I do about once a year because I do use it often.

In case you decide to use Mp3Tag, remember to delete old picture AND save that deletion if you want to change the picture on the file. Only then add a new one. Do not worry, it is about 1 second of extra work.

For me, WAV covers seem to be more related to the machine it is played on than to the program it was tagged with. Same file will show on some of the machines and not on others. Even from the same brand.

dBPoweramp converts pretty much any format I use. I could not discern the difference between FLAC and others.

kgturner, glupson,
Can I just pick the files on my hard drive that I want the art work added?
Can I just cut and paste the pictures to go on my hard drive?

Just tried MP3Tag... and I got it to work.
I need to get used to it more but I was able to make it work.

Thanks, so far so good!

ozzy,

Sorry for the late response, but I am glad it worked.

mp3Tag is actually quite simple, after a few attempts.

I am repeating myself, but if you want to change the picture that already is in the file make sure to delete it first (right click on the picture in the left lower corner), save that (click on "save" diskette up left) and then put a new picture in and save. I have made that mistake of "deleting" without saving enough times to be embarassed to admit. The issue is that some of the programs/machines you may be playing the files with cannot digest the artwork if there is more than one picture attached, or they may decide to show the one you did not want.

Do not be surprised if some song/album that you attached the picture to does not show up once being played. It is there but sometimes the program does not see it. For me, it happened exclusively with WAV and even that not all the time. I have no explanation or remedy except "sorry".

dBpoweramp can also tag, but it can convert, rip, and a few more. I prefer mp3Tag for tagging, but conversions and other things in dB poweramp have been worth the purchase price over time.
