Title: Album Art on device or virtual folder
Post by: Haljeff on March 19, 2021, 07:34:26 PM

My library consists of flac files with embedded art
When syncing to virtual folder and converting to aac files and checking copy art to cover it creates a file in folder as cover.jpg but also embeds art into file. Not sure if this is expected behaviour or i am doing something wrong . Not sure you'd call this a bug

I don't think it's a bug. Check your File Converter settings. At the bottom there are options for artwork: copy settings from source file OR always embed in converted file.

all my source files have embedded art so the either setting would give the same result. my problem is when syncing to virtual folder. in device setting if i check do not copy artwork nothing getting copied or embedded. if i check copy to the same folder as the music file and type cover as my file naming i get the cover copied to the source folder and embedded art as well. have tried fdkaac and qaac and lame encoders with same result.

yes i agree it is a bug and fixed for the next v3.4 update.
However if there is no file format conversion then MB copies the file as-is and so will leave the artwork embedded.
