Batch resize images embedded in mp3s

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jan 11, 2007 8:07 pm

Hi everyone,
I'm using MM with a Sansa e280 and I am extremely pleased with its performance so far. However, I am having one small, but annoying issue. Most of my mp3s have the album art embedded within them, but some of them do not display on the Sansa. I am pretty sure that this is because the images are too large, as most of the ones not displaying are over 200x200 resolution. I have a ton of songs, so manually extracting, resizing and re-embedding the images would be very laborious, to say the least.

My question: Is there a simple method or a script to resize the embedded album art in a batch? I would prefer that the original hi-res image be preserved and the low-res version be appended to the list of embedded art.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

not sure if it can do it in a mp3 you might have to extract the albumart all into a folder?

but there is a new as of 4 or 6 days ago posted on the majorgeeks.com software site a mass image resizer program. it was free so it might be what you need.?

Try my Album Art Tagger script - I believe the does what you require.

No, but you can resize the images as you export them, and then you can embed the resized images. The the script can do it, but it two runs.
