Hi I've read this thread with interest but can I ask a few questions to
make sure I understand this?

I've been embedding art for the album cover in each file (firstly mp3
and now FLAC) using Mp3tag.  I arrange my files is the usual way of
artist/album/tracks.  Sometimes I include additional art in the album
folder - booklet pages or a higher resolution album cover.  These jpegs
have various names that might include cover.jpg and folder.jpg

1. Will multiple image files in the album folder confuse the server?
2. Does the server only look for files named cover.jpg or will it use
any name as long as there's only one?
3. If only half the tracks had embedded art would SBS show any art in
the album folder for the other tracks?

Maybe all of this explains some problems I have with missing art when
using the Touch built in server?

I have a Touch with an attached 1.5TB hard drive.  When my PC is
running I run SB Server on that pointed (wirelessly) to the drive
attached to the Touch.  I can switch music source between the Touch
direct or the PC.  Through the PC I see all album art (and cover flow
on the controller works great).  Direct to the Touch many albums have
no artwork (and cover flow is slow).  I haven't confirmed it yet but
the artwork seems to be missing from mp3s more than FLACs.

If anyone can explain how album art works or answer my questions I'd be
very grateful.  Otherwise when I get a chance I'll try a few experiments
with various combinations.
