I need to do a search to pull up all the files that do not have the extension .mp3 in a windows folder

Is there any sort of NOT operator so I can say NOT *.mp3?
Is my only option to write a script or batch file?

getting rid of all the album art?

I would just do a search for *.*, the select view-details, click the type button and from there you can easily select all the non-mp3 files.

yeah I like my music folder to just be music

I just did specific searches for each extension, it sucks windows can't use basic boolean queries.

mkdir temp

del *.*
move temp\*.mp3 .
rmdir temp

Shouldn't all the album art be .jpg, or .bmp?

Just del*.jpg
