I ended up having to go back and correct! I also wanted embedded cover art to be the same X x Y pixels and of similar visual quality as a JPGs. This kind of ruled out the automated (set and forget), batch cover downloads for me as covers vary a lot (e.g, US release vs UK release, remix versions etc). I am OCD about consistency of which tags I used, and for the covers, I wanted to match all the physical CD inserts and vinyl sleeves. I've tried various tag+artwork mechanisms since such things existed, and have ended up with >60K files, most are MP3, but all the good stuff stuff as FLACs. Just saying, as this had me puzzled for several days when I could not see why no cover art was displayed in some of my systems! Sometimes only a true jpg will be displayed - but you can scan your (separate) cover art files in your folders using a program like trid.exe ( ) which can id and batch convert to jpg, and then you can batch include the art using MP3tag. You can adjust all art in the files to be consistently sized, say 220x220 is good enough without using much storage space.Īnother common thing, is that sometimes covers never display, embedded or as separate file - there is a lot of cover art you can download that appears as a jpg file but sometimes is a different format, like png. If you want the best chance of a renderer being able to show cover art, embed the art (as front cover) into the files using MP3tag in conjunction with AlbumArtDownloader. I just tested this with two different DLNA servers. That may be true for mconnect, (also for my Evo streamer) but not for say, FB2K, VLC and others.
