Sorry for the multiple posts.  Each time I post something it prompts me
to try something else.  I really shouldn't be using the forum to aid my
thought process but it seems to work.

It seems that ffmpeg wants to convert embedded jpegs in wma files to
embedded pngs when converting from wma to flac.  From an LMS perspective
there is only overhead in doing such a conversion; it is not required by
the Play Windows Media plugin.  I think it's better to change the Play
Windows Media plugin's custom-convert.conf, either to only process the
audio via the -vn option as I suggested in a previous post or as an
alternative to copy the jpg into the flac output with no conversion. 
This can be done with the following custom-convert.conf entry:

Code:
--------------------
    [ffmpeg] -v 0 $START$ -i $PATH$ -c:v copy -f flac -
--------------------

I have verified that both the audio only (-vn) and the copy option (-c:v
copy) work for wma files with and without embedded jpegs.

What would be the best way to make a change request for the Play Windows
Media plugin?  I can't seem to find the original plugin announcement in
the 3rd Party Software forum.
