Setting the Cover Art

Once the release information has been downloaded, selecting an album or track in the right-hand pane will display both the original and new coverart for the selected item. You can easily replace the coverart image used for the selected item by dragging the image from the file browser and dropping it on the New Cover Art image.

By right clicking on the image and selecting “Choose local file…” from the menu, you can choose a local file as the cover art.

The context menu also provides several additional options:

  • Show more details… opens the cover art information window showing detailed information about the selected artwork.

  • Keep original cover art restores the original artwork if new cover art has been downloaded or added.

  • Choose local file… allows selecting one or more image files from the local filesystem to use as cover art.

  • Add from URL… downloads an image from a specified URL and adds it as cover art.

The menu also includes options controlling how newly added images are handled:

  • Replace front cover art replaces the existing front cover image.

  • Append front cover art adds the new image while keeping the existing artwork.

Selecting “Show more details” will bring up a new window as:
