MusicBee Wishlist / No warning when attempting to embed a a picture that outspecs ID3
« on: August 01, 2021, 09:16:59 PM »
Hi! I think I hit a case in MusicBee that was probably not tested for. 😬
Basically, I've been banging my head as to why my embedded cover arts weren't embedding in flac files and instead ending up corrupted in MusicBee.
After searching online, it looks like ID3 has a limit for the album cover tags, which is fine.
But it would be appreciated if MusicBee could warn when a picture goes outside of the limits. Better yet would be it preventing from embedding them and instead offer the other copy options (and of course telling why it's not allowing to embed them in the file).
Here's what I was dealing with on MusicBee to come accross that case :
In the screen recording, it just says that it has successfully updated the files, which isn't false indeed. But that was the only feedback I was getting outside the « A picture is corrupted[..] » error happening after the fact. So, it wasn't obvious to know what was happening.
It's maybe a bit of an edge case but with newer releases on digital stores coming with very high quality cover art files more often than before, it's probably gonna happen to others at some point. 😅
Thank you for reading me!
