Music Converter could copy album art JPGs

[wobbegong]

I have many CDs that I ripped (over a year ago) to WMA Lossless using WMP. The songs are all in [artist]\[album] folders along with the album art in (four) .JPG files. I recently purchased dBpoweramp Reference largely because of its ability to do Batch Conversion while preserving folder layout (I need everything in FLAC for Sonos players), and this really works great. But I then have to manually copy the JPG files for each folder.

It would be great if there were an option (a checkbox?) somewhere that would cause all JPGs to be copied (to the destination folder) as the songs in the corresponding source folder get converted. (And the JPG files could be synchronized along with the songs and tags if Howie's "Batch synchronise" suggestion gets implemented.)

Is the album art also embedded in the files themselves? If so, you can use the "ID Tag Update" DSP effect to export the album art to a folder.jpg file in the new folder.

No, it isn't, and it doesn't need to be for any of the players I normally use (Sonos and WMP11) to display the album art, and I'd prefer not to make the (already large) WMA Lossless and FLAC files (of which there may be 10-20 in each folder) even larger by embedding the art into each one. And I expect the work involved to do the embedding would be far greater than what it would take to simply copy the JPG files manually. (I suppose I could write a script to copy the JPGs from one hierarchy to the other -- I could do this in my sleep for Solaris or Linux, but my scripting skills for Windows are rudimentary.)

If the album art is not embedded, then you will have to move the files yourself or via a script, dMC cannot move the folder.jpg file.

I understand that dMC currently does not move (or copy) the folder.jpg file, but there's no reason why it could not -- if a script can do it (and it can, I just wrote one that does) then a program certainly can. (This is a wishlist, after all.)
