I use TagScanner (Windows) which has the simple option to recompress, which seems to make it ZX300 compatible. I think it may be a slightly simpler process than the paint option.

I have a tag editor- I was hoping for a free program to convert jpgs

Recompress in TagScanner has not worked for my zx300 always... i had to manually replace some but +10 to TagScanner (i prefer it over mp3tag)
eh... Paint is the basic Windows program that handles images, comes standard with the operating system. I'd think that the Mac may have something similar? You just need something "stupid" (Paint definitely qualifies) that will handle the conversion on the fly by just copy/paste. Photoshop will certainly do it, I expect, but it's overkill (and you might have to actually also SAVE the file in the appropriate format
) ...robulation

I’m on a Mac and use a mixture of XLD to rip all my old CDs to FLAC... then MP3Tag to quickly tag everything... and anything obscure that it doesn’t recognise I just google the album art, or if it brings through a crap one, I google a new one, Photoshop it to be around 600px x 600px and drag it in and then save it.
It was laborious to go through my 1000s of CDs, but worth it to have my entire collection in a digital format and backed up on the cloud.

I have had the odd one that doesn't seem to work, but I thought it was something I had done wrong eg downsizing. I have a couple of albums that just won't tag properly regardless of album art I choose and recompress. Also I have had some disappointing results for album art searches, some of my music is a it obscure but there should definitely be some result, those are ones I have had to tag manually

I'm sure someone had a macbook solution earlier in the thread when this topic was discussed before - perhaps try the search option if no one replies with an answer for you.

Sorry, realised I put MP3Tag instead of the Mac software. Kid3 is a Mac alternative that I use!

After burning this in for about 15 hours, the SQ already sounds so much better! It might be possible that the fact I'm using a different pair of headphones is changing the sound a bit, but once I'll get to use my 1As again I'll confirm for sure. I'm so surprised how much better things got within such a small amount of time, though.

For anyone who uses the DSP enhancements, what do you like setting it to? I have mine set to DSEE HX Standard, DC Phase Type B Standard, and Vinyl Standard, although after testing the different profiles I'm not quite sure what I like best.
I found out how to convert images in Preview-- now my question is what format do I convert to (JPG 2000, png, JPEG etc)?

Straight JPG.
Even if the file is already .jpg (or jpeg)?...my understanding is that there are two kinds of jpg files (baseline and something else).

On macOS the default is baseline.
That is good to know...I might just dump my whole library onto my ZX300 when I get i and hope for the best.
