When I started my bootleg collection (the lossy one) I already used Foobar so I downloaded the front-cover automatically every time, and named it "cover.jpg" so it would always work.

Did Windows have a habit to resize your cover.jpg to 200x200, or did it leave it at the original size?

The reason for that was that to set up Foobar properly, it needed all the artwork. The thing is, Windows decided to resize them back to 200x200, meaning the artwork was all pixelated and blocky - which looked completely stupid. iTunes can do the artwork and embeds it properly, but I don't want to use iTunes to do that all the time. One program to do everything would be a much better idea.

I tried Folder.jpg and it did the same thing. Maybe setting as read-only might do it?

Windows didn't have any habits, I saved all the covers at the highest possible resolution.

$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)cover.jpg

Artist: %artist% '('%album%')'

Then you can add the album to the the message as well.
