The metadata block length field is 24 bits, so the upper limit is just a
little less than 16 MB. At least in theory, I didn't test that.



can Josh maybe confirm this? I'm planning to include some BMP images of
album art in my FLAC files and those files can become big very quickly. So I
hope somebody can tell me the upper limit for images, so I don't have
problems with it when I exceed a certain filesize (without 'guessing' this
limit). Thanks in advance

There's not really a standard (or rather there are several) for album
art, and it still seems to be an advanced feature. Feel free to agitate,
this is an area where the better metadata of the free formats is a real
advantage.
