easiest way to add album art on mp3s

[ranj]

Hi All

 

On my Golf I have the discover navigation system but I suppose my question may relate to similar systems in other cars.

 

I have some mp3s which I have on a USB stick which play fine on the discover navigation however I would like to add the album art rather than seeing a blank picture for a song.

 

I have the mp3s in a folder and have downloaded all the album art separately, I just need a program which I can use to attached the art to the individual mp3.

 

Is there a tool I can use to do this with? It can be either Mac or Windows but would prefer freeware. Preferably batch so I can select a folder with all my songs and then just add the album art easily.

 

Am I right in thinking I need an mp3 tag tool?

 

Thanks

Tell it to search a folder and it'll go through online services (e.g. amazon blahblah) and download all the info/pics

 

There's a free version that's limited to how many per month etc.

Windows Media Player can do it too, per album if that helps.

Hi

 

The only issue with that is my songs are mainly from SoundCloud so they are not official songs, more like remixed or songs produced by individuals and the only art is available on soundcloud. I have downloaded the art but its in a separate folder. I am guessing your solution would work fine with official releases.

My personal choice for organising my collection: Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...)

 

You can automatically search for Album Art, or use your own downloaded graphics.

That's what I use too. MP3Tag is awesome.

I used to use a program to do it back when i first bought an iPod Touch. That was years ago now though.

This is what I do. Works fine.
