Folder icons on iMac

[Theresal]

I like my folders to show the album art and not just the folder icon. Will Perfect tunes do this automatically, I can do it manually but will take a lifetime with a large library. Thank you

Isn't it the operating system which shows the icon? PerfectTunes manages your collection, adds miising album arts etc. pp.

Possibly so.... Im not sure. I have image2icon which does the job..... one at a time and I have terabytes of music to get through so was looking for an automated process. All the albums show up in software with the album cover but when I am browsing my folders I like to be able to easily visually identify them .(And for them to look nice)

Re: Folder icons on iMac

What are the requirements of your operating system to show album art? Something like an embeded album art or a folder jpg?

Yes and then to select the album art jpeg as the folder icon

Although I have never used it there is a program from 2ManyRobots that designed to do exactly this and is free. Called "Folder Album Artwork" and can be downloaded here https://2manyrobots.com/plaster/.
