Do not edit the config/*.ini files directly but only the gitignored file config/config_local.ini to customize your configuration.

#[images] for all retrieved images applies:

  • images will be added to the whole album (directory)
  • filenames currently gets ignored at all

there are 4 separate and combineable options for adding images to those album records


read_embedded

the import script extracts images which are embedded in the id3-tags of mp3 files.
NOTE: activating this option slows down the initial import process in case you have a lot of embedded images
