now we have several options for artwork syncing with devices, but none of them disables track reencoding only due to artwork handling. 'do not copy artwork' option and 2 'copy artwork...' options remove embedded artworks, and slow down syncing. 'embed artwork' option forces track reencoding if original artwork is not embedded (this slows down syncing also). i'd like to see new option: 'leave embedded artwork if present'.

Yes, you need a consistent library to avoid any encoding. Either have all embedded and choose the embedded option or no embedded and choose no artwork or copy to folder options. Anything outside of that gets encoded.

"Leave embedded artwork if present" or maybe "Do not strip embedded artwork" should probably be a sub option of "do not copy artwork."
