Hi guidof, 

oh dear - one of those things where people either like it the one or
the other way.
Actually this feature is needed for compilations, where each track
needs a different cover art.

Is there any need to keep the embedded art if it's of lower quality
than the folder.jpg ?
There are great tools that can remove all embedded art automatically at
once (Bliss being one of them - I wrote a blog about it some time ago:
http://www.squeezepad.com/2010/10/how-to-upgrade-coverart-to-a-higher-resolution/
).
I just found another thread which talks about different programs
(mp3tag and tag&rename) to handle the embedded art:
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/284477/batch-tagging-album-art-using-cover-jpg

As I want to keep SqueezePad as simple as possible I'm very reluctant
to adding new options, which only a very few users will need (but of
course I'm very open if other users chime in on this topic). 

Don't you think that in the end you'll have less trouble with your
music library if you clean up your tags and embedded art. 
For instance the WebUI of SB-Server also prefers embedded art already
and I'm pretty sure the Squeezeboxes that show coverart will follow
some day.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
