It would be nice if adding cover art to mediums would be possible. As an example, each medium of [ARIA the BOX](https://musicbrainz.org/release/424840dd-6f9b-410c-8647-47eb427030b8/) has a [different cover art](https://musicbrainz.org/release/424840dd-6f9b-410c-8647-47eb427030b8/cover-art). Right now my tagger can only embed one cover for the whole discset, although each disc has a different character, a different kind of tracks (first is backing, second theme songs, third additional unreleased tracks) and a different cover. Btw there’s also albums with one cover/image per track, for example: [Release “Before these mighty skies” by Le Soldat Pony - Cover art - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/release/8ee287de-205a-4aca-b28e-a2ea54da74f2/cover-art) ---

This has been a known issue for years. AFAIK it’s mainly an issue with Picard; it’s possible to use the comment box to denote which cover belongs to what medium or so forth, but Picard is not able to process that information. ---

The ticket for tracking per-medium cover art is CAA-31: [https://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/CAA-31](https://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/CAA-31) I’m not sure there’s a ticket for tracking per-track cover art, but there is one requesting cover art on recordings (and not just releases), which I guess is kind of related: [https://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/CAA-74](https://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/CAA-74) ---

Don’t know how well this would work, since some people will write “Disc n”, some “CD n”, some “Medium n” and maybe it’s just because the comments contain the words. ---

Cover art does have an order stored in musicbrainz. If there is a second image marked as medium or front cover for example you could assume it belongs to the second medium and write it to the file.
