Keep in mind that the column as defined in Mp3tag only checks for embedded images. Like you, I only want cover.jpg files, so this gives me a good indication that I need to remove the embedded image. > The image appears in the Tag Panel but with the words image/jpg...no > mime type. That -is- the MIME type that I was talking about. > I then removed the art in Extended Tags and refreshed the file...no art > appearing now and the cover column shows N. You can also easily remove embedded images using an Mp3tag action. You could automatically run this on every file to be certain you have nothing embedded. The action is: -Action type:- *Remove fields* -Fields to remove:- *PICTURE* Or, to run the action by itself, you can use the drop-down arrow next to 'Actions' button and then select the action group name. > Using the Tag Sources>Cover Art in mp3tag, I found and added the art, > and then noticed the "Utils" menu at the bottom of the box.

Sounds like I was wrong about Mp3tag being able to directly embed the cover from the Tag Sources. > I unchecked the Save To Tag and cleared the embedded art. Now I have > only the jpg.

If you have the column showing whether there's an embedded cover and you see a cover named 'cover.jpg' in the Tag Panel, then you should know at a glance whether there are both or one or the other. > After scanning the dBpa tag info on some files in explorer, I see it > often shows "Contains:Album Art, CRC, ID Tags", which I assume means > embedded art.

Yes, if it shows 'Contains: Album Art' then it's talking about an embedded image in the tags, not a separate file. > Can you point me to art settings in dBpa? I don't recall seeing anything > before. Other than the Windows Explorer mouseover tool mentioned above, I don't use dbpa. -- JJZolx » » Download 'Squeezebox Server 7.5.6 r35834' (http://downloads.slimdevices.com/SqueezeboxServer_v7.5.6_unreleased/), the last nightly build of SBS 7.5. » ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91186
