Cover arts for multidisc albums

Hello!
Im trying to parse release for Mozart 225 with 200CD orginized I file system as folder per disc. All of them contains covert art inside each disc folder but this covers are not copied into resulting directory with default settings for local files, and also I still see 0 images on release page on the left.
Please advise!

You can move the files by enabling “Move additional files” in Options > File Naming. You can specify file patterns here, the default is already matching common image files. If this does not work for you, please tell us how exactly your files are named.

For tagging such releases I would suggest to disable Picards cover art options, since neither Picard nor MusicBrainz currently can handle per medium cover art unfortunately.

What’s amazing is I googled “musicbrainz picard multidisc artwork” and this was the top result, and I’m trying to tag exactly Mozart 225 right now!

I am using the Complete Box Set (since that’s the CD release) https://musicbrainz.org/release/06b914aa-f4d5-49bd-9df1-0b89b046ab16 but there was no artwork on the release. Fortunately, I have it all so uploading 600+ items will be fun…

I really wish there was just a field on the upload “Which medium(s) is this relevant to” and picard could just prioritize that instead of ALL artwork. For now, I might have to just disable cover art and put it in manually :frowning: Or even to avoid DB changes, it should parse out the Comment field looking for something like “[CD 14]” for the same effect. Perhaps a picard plugin could solve this?
