Add Album Art and Edit mp3 tags

Here is a tutorial which will show you how to add album art to your songs and also to edit their tag information. Tag information is the information which is displayed when you play the song such as artist name, album name, etc... Most music players have support for a certain level of tag information such as artist name, album art, etc... Nokia Music Player and LCG Jukebox are two examples of music players for S60 that have such a feature including support for album art.

This tutorial makes use of a tag editor known as Mp3Tag. You can download it from here.
Install this program and then follow the steps. I do not own a Macintosh and so i'm unable to help users with a Mac. It is suggested that you look for alternatives to mp3Tag, same goes for Linux users unless you can make it work with Wine.

NOTE: Take a backup of your music incase you do something wrong later on. Just to be safe

1) Open Mp3Tag, and you will be presented with the window as shown below:

2) Open your selection of music for a certain album or a single song that you wish to edit the tag information or add album art to. You can do this by either dragging the selection or by using the menu or the icon in the toolbar. Then you should have something which looks like this:

3) After selecting your music, drag the album art picture to the 'album art' box and then click on save icon on toolbar or select it from the menu. You will see a message like below followed by a success dialog box.

4) You can now test your music in LCG Jukebox or in the Nokia Music Player if it supports album art. As my N80's default music player does not support album art, I was not able to provide my own screenshot for this but rather got another screenshot from google which showed how it looked. However I have tested the music in LCG Jukebox, and it works great.

5) EXTRA STEP if you want to edit tag data. Select the music you wish to edit tags of, and then edit the tags using the options provided on the left hand side of mp3Tag and the click on save either using the toolbar icon or from the menu. A similar "Saving tags" window will appear as shown above followed by a 'success' dialog box. [K12]
