Preventing artwork from copying

Post by mrcakey73 »

I'm trying to convert a lot of tracks from my library to MP3 format for a USB stick for the car (it doesn't speak FLAC or OGG which is what most of my collection is).

When I set it off running it tries to copy the artwork for each song to a random directory that it apparently doesn't have access to even though I've done all I can in Windoze to give access.

For every song, it's bringing up a dialog box with "Problem with copying file Z:\{album art}\***.jpg to C:\Users\{album art}\***.jpg" and giving me Cancel, Retry or Ignore as options. As you can imagine, it's quite a pain.

Is there any way of persuading MM not to copy artwork across? The artwork is not going to be any use where it's going anyway.

Check the Device Profile for the USB and set it to neither embed instead nor save as an Artwork file.

I'm just copying to my local C: drive for now so I've got the MP3s volume levelled and ready to go for other devices such as my phone.
