Bug Reports / Format converter doesn't embed album art consistently w/ "always embed" select
« on: December 21, 2022, 07:47:17 PM »
Description:
When transcoding to the same format (flac to flac), the album art copy setting is ignored and uses the Copy from source behaviour, resulting in output files not having their album art embedded.
Steps to repro:
1. Have an album in flac with the album art stored in Cover.jgp/png and linked in musicbee.
2. Run format converter on the album to a new output location (e.g. not replacing original), select flac, maximum compression.
For me I'm using organize to sub folder with these parameters: "<Album Artist> - <Album>\<Track#> - <Title>"
3. Navigate to newly created files, you will see the audio files + Cover.jpg/png. Inspect files in a 3rd party ID tagging program, no artwork embedded.
Tested on 3.5.8384, 3.4.8033, 3.4.8033 Store
In my testing it seems it's always using the "Copy settings" behaviour regardless of which option is selected. The feature works correctly when transcoding to other formats, e.g. Flac -> Mp3 works fine & album art is embedded as expected
