Imploded Software

Important: The two scripts use a library of free code to insert the covers in the archives. The taglib-sharp library must be stored in the directory Helium (C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Helium). You have to unlock the file from the properties (see indications at the end).

Export albums

Description: Export albums to a directory chosen by user. Create the directory structure Artist / Album. Save the cover image in the directory, and you can choose to embed the covers.
