    Move and Rename Cover Art Files

    Searched the forum -- but can't find the solution.

    I'm coming from a player program that required cover art image files -- to be named identically to the folder that contained that album's audio files.
    So, the audio files were stored in an album folder called: "Beatles - Help"
    And, the cover art image file needed to be named: "Beatles - Help.jpg"

    Moreover, all of the cover art image files needed to be stored together in their own "Cover Art" folder -- separate from the actual audio file folders.
    So I had a separate folder called "Cover Art" -- and it contained all of the image files for my entire music collection.

    Unfortunately, I now need to move each cover art image file -- to the folder that actually contains that album's audio files.
    And, I need to rename those image files to "folder.jpg"

    I've got over 2,000 albums and I'm wondering if dBpoweramp can, at least, "batch move" the cover art files -- to the audio file folders that share the same name.
    And, less important but very nice -- would be the additional function of renaming that cover art file names -- from "Beatles - Help.jpg" -- to "folder.jpg.
    ...Although, I have another program that can probably do that.

    Can dBpoweramp -- or anything else -- perform one or both of these batch operations?

    Thanks very much in advance.

    I do not think you can do this with dBpoweramp.

      Thanks Spoon.

      Know any other program that might do this?

        Well, you could run a FOR loop. For each file matching PATTERN.JPG, move it to PATTERN\folder.jpg

        But depending on your file format, you could also considering importing your coverart to a picture tag. Of course if you are using mp3 files with heavy compression and fairly large picture files, then one picture embedded in each file would be costly in terms of space, but if you are using a lossless format and pictures are small, then it isn't much of an issue.

          Thanks.
          I have just solved the problem with J River Media Center.
          Pretty powerful file and media management tools.
          Thanks again.
