This assumes all the files of an album are saved to the same folder (which usually is the case). To improve the performance this plugin only updates the folder icon once per album.The plugin uses a couple of macOS command line tools ( sips, iconutil, Rez and SetFile) for which I am not sure if they are part of a standard macOS install or if they require xcode with the development utilities being installed.I only gave this plugin basic testing, so please try this carefully on some files and make a backup beforehand.For that, go to the page of the release you want to add art to, and click the 'Cover Art' tab. There are some things to be aware off, though: Adding cover art is usually done through the Cover Art Archive. Then restart Picard and enable the “Album Folder Cover” plugin in Options > Plugins. To use the plugin please download the file albumfoldercover.py and place it in your Picard plugin folder at $HOME/Library/Preferences/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins/. I have got a basic plugin to set the folder icon to the album cover when saving files I used to live on the Winamp forums and remember going through the combinations for that player in the past. Usually folder.jpg, cover.jpg or even album.jpg. Outside the mad world of Apple and Microsoft inventing their own weird standards, loads of the earlier players just went with the single “drop an image in the same folder” option. They would especially haunt those huge Limewire folders of the past as hundreds of MP3 files would share the same cover imageĪt least the Apple method never clashes with any other music player. There was two files - AlbumArtSmall.jpg and Folder.jpg. Local Files MusicBrainz Picard v2. THAT was the headache that followed music collections around. They were annoying as they were hidden+system files meaning the average user had no idea how to find them and remove them as it usually required a Flamethrower™. The weird thing Windows did with music was to let Windows Media Player add hidden files to a folder without warning. ![]() All folders in Windoze can get an image attached and then noted in desktop.ini. That wasn’t music, that was a little used OS option you are thinking off there. ![]() I assume in that case it would follow the weird Windows method as well - where you right click a folder and go into the options, pick an image to set as the art, and then a hidden file is placed into the folder that contains the art. ![]()
