BillybobBilly 15 Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 I did a quick search and didn't find anything about this so I apologize if I didn't see this already. It would be really great to pull album artwork info from mp3 tags. I have tens of thousands of mp3s with album artwork saved directly to the mp3 tag but Emby can't/doesn't pull this data. I can play the files in winamp and the album art pops up just fine but with Emby I have to search the album artwork and add it manually. It would be nice if the album artwork search function included artwork from within the mp3 tags of songs within each sorted album. Hopefully this idea makes sense.
Solution Happy2Play 9441 Posted March 24, 2022 Solution Posted March 24, 2022 Don't really follow as Emby extracts folder/cover image for me. But will not extract all embedded images that I know of. Do you have image extraction enable on the library?
nospotify 149 Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) This was a limitation I flagged a while ago. Emby does not extract cover images from mp3 files - it grabs cover.jpg, folder.jpg, etc. from the mp3 folder IF they exist. Edited March 24, 2022 by wordlover

BillybobBilly 15 Posted May 1, 2022 Author Posted May 1, 2022 Just a follow up to this. I tested what Happy2Play suggested and it worked!
tsunami1701 6 Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Hi there, I cannot find the Image Extractor option. I have disabled all the options for album images and activated the embedded images option rescanned the files, refreshed the metadata, removed and reset the identification but the images don't change. Do i have to change them manually for every single album? Thank you!
Luke 40074 Posted April 19 Posted April 19 It is Embedded Images. It was renamed at some point along the way. Let's look at a specific example: How to Report a Problem Thanks.
