Export Tweaked Album Artwork from Music Library?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

So general question regarding the music library for PMS running on Windows 10…

I had a regular music library, I believe it became corrupted -took forever to scan/add new music, and would no longer let me change album/artist fanart/poster art. So, just deleted it and created a new Premium Music Library. Cool. It works. I like it.
However, all the album/artist artwork that I’d upgraded/improved through Plex’s web interface was gone replaced with lower quality stuff -maybe the ID3tag art for albums? I checked the option to use embedded tags when setting up the new Premium Library -mostly to keep the genres as I’d defined them.
I guess I’m wondering… if I take the time to improve the album art again through Plex’s interface (it’s pretty quick and easy) is there any way to export the new album art in case I ever need to rebuild the music library again? Or am I limited to updating the ID3 tags manually with other software to accomplish this?

THANKS for any help or advice!!!

Don’t use the upload feature when editing the album within Plex.
Instead, place a high-quality version of the album art inside of the folder, beside the audio files. Name it folder.jpg or cover.jpg.

That way you always have a backup and external cover art should theoretically get preferred over embedded cover art.
