Foobar basically wipes out embedded album art tags when it rewrites tag info. It's very annoying. From now on whenever I add any new music to my library I put the art in an album.jpg file in its directory. This works nicely and doesn't result in the overly bloated mp3 files when you copy/paste album artwork (if you copy/paste album art in Windows it uses the clipboard which internally uses .bmp which is significantly larger than jpg/gif.
