mp3 tag image issue

Chad said:

I used a software called mp3 tag tools to synchronize id tag 3.1 and 3.2 together AND remove pictures from tags. Still got one strange problem. The car dash is picking up the album art and trying to play them (actual art jpeg files). Hhence, I burned this as mp3 data dvd, not audio cd/dvd. I burned as data dvd to retain the folder structure I have (one folder per genre).

I did use mp3 tag toolz to remove "picture" from all the mp3's, which I assume is what we call today "album art". However, odd enough the dash is picking up some files called albumart_etc..

How do I correct this?

1. Open a Command Prompt Window ([WINDOWS]+[R], type CMD, press [ENTER])
2. If the drive that contains your music is F, then type "F:" (without the quotes) and press [ENTER].
3. Go to the folder that contains your music by typing "CD \FolderName" (without quotes). For example, "CD \Music\Full Albums\Private Collections"
4. Type "attrib -r -h -s -a AlbumArt*.jpg" (without quotes). This will remove the Read-Only, System, Hidden and Archive attributes from all files named "AlbumArt*.jpg" in all folders, starting from the current folder.
5. Type "erase /s AlbumArt*.jpg" (without quotes) to erase all the album art files.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5, replacing "AlbumArt*.jpg" with "Folder.jpg" to remove additional hidden image files that are used for folder thumbnails.
7. That's it, you're done! If you want to remove ALL image files from your music folders, then change "AlbumArt*.jpg" (or "Folder.jpg") in the above instructions to "*.jpg". Now you can write the DVDs as you did before, and your Dash shouldn't see those files, because they won't be there.
