I won't lie that it was some work to set it all up, but it is saving me an enormous amount of time now that I have it working. So Picard #1 has 'clear all tags', Picard #2 doesn't. Then I run them through a full-fledged Picard with all bells and whistles.
Once you have Picard all set up, click Add Folder, and add some music from your to-sort folder (I prefer not to add the whole thing at once - I’ll add about 10-20 albums or so at a time). So that results in files that are spanking clean. There are quite a few plugins available if Picard doesn’t do something you need it to do. The first one clears all tags, with only the most essential ones such as Album Artist, Artist, Title, and the MusicBrainz release ID in the 'exceptions' list. The program that I use for editing a tracks ID3 tags (MP3TAG) can definitely allow you to add multiple images to an MP3 file, but Im sure there are many other. (well, actually six, but I should discuss that with my shrink) I use Picard first to do the initial cleanup of the metadata where I can look it over, then beets to copy it to my music directory and extract the album art to.

What I do myself: I have two separate portable Picard installs. Until now you can't make an exception for artwork. Yeah, there has been discussion on the matter for sure.Īs far as I can recollect right now it is about being able to preserve artwork when you have selected 'clear existing tags' and added 'artwork' to the exceptions list of tags (metadata) not to be cleared.
