yes, but to clarify one minor point, dbpa *can* automatically do both, or it can do one or the other depending on one's settings (embeds only if "album art" is ticked in the metadata list). My personal process (using dpba to rip) is to create only a single file in the album subdirectory (named "cover.jpg" with an attempted size of 1000x1000). I do not setup dbpa to embed the artwork in each FLAC file. Then later, I use dbpa converter to create lossy mp3 versions of my files for portable use. In this conversion process, I have dbpa embed the artwork (at a smaller, 500x500 size) in each mp3file and NOT create a cover.jog file in the album subdirectory. This all works perfectly for me using squeezeboxes, vortexbox and windows LMS servers, ipods/iphones/ipads, foobar2000 windows player. Note: I use "cover.jpg" rather than "folder.jpg" so that windows programs can't automatically (or behind the scenes) modify/change/replace my artwork. Windows can do this with folder.jpg files (as that is the windows standard), but I don't think it messes with "cover.jpg". WMP can be particularly nasty with regard to doing things to one's art that was not expected. *Location 1:* VortexBox 4TB (2.2) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) > LMS 7.7.2 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.8 > SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S (iPeng), iPad2 (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100906 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
