I never have artwork problems , but i followed "The path of least
resistance" .

No iTunes .

I have 95% flac files .

I have most of my tags in good order, I use only one tag format per
file i never mix id3vX with each other or have id3V tags in my flac
files. they have what mp3tag reports as FLAC (or is it really vorbis
comments ).
Multiple tags in a file is a mess .

I organize music in /music/artist/album . One folder per album .
here i put a folder.jpg file (not bmp png or gif or anything else ) .

And I also embeds the artwork in the files from a jpg file.

Bingo, have worked fuzz free since i got the controller .

It can on occasion take a full scan to get the covers .

There are other approaches to cover art that "should work" but
apparently are bug riddled as the many post about cover art and itunes
speaks about for example.

And changing cover art in old directories and files can take a "clear
and rescan" to work , this is also a known bug . But it would not bite
you when your done and fixed your old files .

But the bog standard approach with flac and mp3 works if the folders,
pictures and file tags are in good order .

I scanned in two new albums today it worked cover shows up with "new
and changed scan" . I suppose it is the fact that I have both folder.jpg
and embedded artwork that ups the chacne that this is working.
