Music Library Tips & Tricks: How To Add Artwork To Your Files

When you’re importing old CDs or ripping old vinyl to your new digital library for DJing, you often want to have the associated release artwork that you remember for your tracks associated with each file; this can be a great help in making the transition from physical to digital music.
