    Smile Transfer of album art during conversion of FLAC to MP3 using CLI

    Hi,

    I hope that the title was descriptive enough

    I really like using MP3Tag for all of my file / tag manipulation with my audio files. There is an option to use external tools for conversion, etc., and the dbPowerAMP CLI is one of those tools. I've had quite a bit of success with converting FLAC / APE files to MP3s for use in portable music players. I've been able to get all of the lossless tagging formats to convert to the ID3 equivalents with ease, with the exception of album art. Is there a way to do this with the CLI? I've scoured the CLI help and LAME codec documentation, and I saw nothing about importing album art using the CLI.

    So far, I've been using this as a part of the command line for tag conversion:

    Code:
    -tag="<destination_tag>=<source_tag>"
    For example:
    Code:
    -tag="title=%title%"
    If I'm using the correct switch for this, the first part of this puzzle is to figure out what the LAME encoder of the CLI uses as the destination tag for album art. The second part would be to find out what the source tag format would be for album art in MP3Tag.

    If anyone could supply me with what the destination tag is, or what the correct switch is for use with the LAME encoder for the CLI, I'm halfway there!

    Thank you for your time, patience, and consideration.

    If folder.jpg was written before conversion, there is a DSP effect 'ID Tag Processing' which can import it whilst converting.

    Question Re: Transfer of album art during conversion of FLAC to MP3 using CLI

    I have the DSP installed but it is not embedding the folder.jpg album art into the file when I convert the file. Is there some command that needs to be given? The option folder.jpg is selected in the within 'manipulations'

    Am i missing something here?

    folder.jpg is in the same folder as the source file?
