ImageToMp3 Light

ImageToMp3 Light is a simple and free application that can embed covert art in your MP3 audio tracks, thus enabling you to create a complete collection of music without any missing pictures.
It comes loaded with some practical and intuitive options, and it doesn't require any setup.

Portable utility with a clear-cut interface

Since there is no installation involved, you can save the executable file in any location on the disk and just click it to launch ImageToMp3 Light.
It's also possible to save it to an external storage unit, in order to directly run it on any computer with minimum effort. It doesn't change the Windows registry settings.
As far as the interface goes, ImageToMp3 Light adopts a common window that shows all options available. However, you should keep in mind that only JPEG-formatted images are supported.

Set the image size and insert multiple MP3 tracks

After loading a picture, you can view it in the main window, set the maximum width and height, adjust the JPEG quality, as well as choose the text encoding method and image type (e.g. front cover, illustration, conductor, composer).
In the following stage, all you have to do is import the MP3 files you want to apply the picture too. Worth noting is that batch processing is supported, which means that you can embed the same image in multiple tracks at the same time (such as full albums). Apart from the fact that you can remove all images from the listed files to start the project from scratch, there are no other notable options provided by this app.
