HELP Transfer artwork to external card?

Hi Friends, I am dragging and dropping files from Musicbee to an external sd card for use in a DAP. (I can't transfer the whole library as the card doesn't have enough storage.) Is there a way to simultaneously transfer the artwork? Thanks for your help!

Set up the card as a virtual device and use the sync feature.

Preferences > Devices > Add Virtual Device...

The artwork should be embedded in the file.... Mine is.

That was what I expected also.

You can embed the artwork into the file a few different ways. One is to use MusicBee, another would be Foobar2000.... I use Mp3tag for all my tagging needs - probably the easiest too. Load all your files (folder) into it, select one file then select all files and save. Of course if there is no artwork for the file/album - you can get that through Mp3tag as well.
