Released:
Jun 18, 2008 BUT, I realized that album art (embedded directly into the mp3) bigger than 600×600 pixels don’t show up in Nokia phones music players, so now I use a maximun 600×600 in all files and it shows up perfectly in my PC/Winamp and in my phone music player. Jun 18, 2008 Album art can be embedded into MP3 files fairly easily using ID3 tags. However, before you start filling up all of your MP3 files with works of art. Sep 06, 2011 And the transcoding tool (verified in v5.61) is broken regarding album art: if the album art is stored as folder.jpg (or cover.jpg etc) in the same folder as the files to transcode, then the transcoder does not embed the album art inside the newly created transcoded format. Album Art Downloader XUI is a free program that can download and save album art into your music folders. It is designed to scan your albums for missing album art and perform simultaneous multiple searches in batch. It also offers shell integration for quick album art lookups on the folder level. I resized all my album art to 500x500 with this and all my album art came from amazon, but i used mp3tag to embed them. Maybe tagscanner is embedding the album art differently than how mp3tage does and as such is causing the prob. Download mp3tag and embed a big pic into it and then try and re-size that with sanse.
Batch cover art downloader and embedder for audio files
Project description
THE PROBLEM
Missing cover art for large imported music libraries.
EXISTING SOLUTIONS
- Apple's Music App (and its predecessor iTunes) has a 'Get Album Artwork' feature, but it isn't reliable and doesn't actually embed cover art into your audio files. That means if you move your music library elsewhere, you'll be missing all your album artwork.
- Metadata utilities like Metadatics are great (and cheap if not free), but they can require a lot of manual interaction to go through each album and select artwork from search results. This can be forbidding for large libraries of thousands of albums.
THIS SOLUTION
Embed Album Art In Mp3
This Python package will batch-update your entire library without manual interaction for each album.
It uses Apple Music's artwork, which is already standardized and high-quality. It also embeds the artwork directly into your audio files, so that it's independent of your player.
Supported formats (so far)
- MP3
- MP4 (.m4a)
Requirements
- Python 3.5 or greater
- Python packages: mutagen
Usage

From the Command Line
if you omit
path
, it will scan the current working directoryPro Tip: You can run with
--test
first, then browse/prune the downloaded artwork, then run again with --no_download
to embed only the artwork you didn't prune.From the Python Environment
where
options
is a dict of the same options listed for the commandline, e.g. --verbose
-> {'verbose': True}
How it works
- First, it scans your audio library for supported files.
- For each file without embedded artwork, looks for a local cover image based on the artist and album metadata.
- If the cover image doesn't exist locally, attempts to download from Apple Music.
- Maintains a cache file (i.e.
skip_artwork
option) to skip repeated attempts to download the same artwork. - If artwork is found, it's embedded into the audio file.
Why do you download from Apple Music and not Google image search?
- Google's Image Search API requires a dev token (so does Apple Music's API, but not its public web query URL).
- Google search queries are heavily throttled.
- Apple Music's cover sizes are standardized and sufficiently large.
Troubleshooting
The artwork is embedded now, but Apple's Music App still won't show it.
Try re-importing one of your embedded files. If the re-imported version shows artwork, you need to reimport your music library. You can do this without losing your playlists as follows:
- File->Library->Export Library... and name your exported library file.
- Visit Music->Preferences...->Files and screenshot your options. You'll need to restore them later.
- Quit the app and relaunch while holding down the Option key.
- Choose 'Create Library...' and pick a new location.
- Visit Music->Preferences...->Files and restore your desired options.
- File->Library->Import Playlist... and choose your library file from step 1. (Yes, it's called 'Import Playlist...' but you actually use this to import your library.)

Step 6 will take a while.
The artwork appears in Apple's Music App but not my iOS device.

You'll have to unsync all your music and re-sync it again. Try it with a single file first.
