Oh. That would explain it.

I suppose when you embed ex post the operation takes a long time because
it is rewriting each and every file into which you are embedding album
art. With typical FLAC file sizes of 30-60MB that takes some time. And
if you're doing it over the network to the Vortexbox it takes even
longer.
I embed my artwork into each flac file, and also have one for the folder
itself. In both cases I always go for 500 x 500 as my size.
I use Album art exchange, or scan the covers myself. To do the resizing,
I use the very good and free, VSO Image resizer to do this. I keep all
artwork to between
I embed the art in each FLAC file so that I'll have the art in the MP3
mirrored files for portable ipod use.
I notice that it takes a really long time to write the covers to the
files.

I'm not really sure actually I've had squeezepad crash with some
2000*2000 art ( but it might have been fixed in an upgrade )
Funny enough the touch itself is ok with large art provided the

I try to find 1000x1000 (saved as cover.jpg in each album directory). No
problems with my setup (see signature).

I store all the cover art as a cover.jpg file in the same
folder/directory as the flac files. Rather than go by pixel size I go by
file size and keep all the cover.jpg files under one MB. I
Also embedded + folder.jpg.
Embedded because if I copy single tracks to other players they still
have art. Folder to show in the folders and have a backup if the tags
get messed up.

I am uploading an immense volume of live shows ive recorded over the

way to create /embed/store the artwork so that it displays properly

Name it Front.jpg, make sure file size isn't too large, put it in same
folder as the music files, rescan the library in LMS.

folder.jpg or cover.jpg too one folder per album /show or embedd .
If you embedd this has precedence over an image file .
scan for new and changed is not good at finding *.jpg files ,clear and
rescan works .
Embedded art is found by rescan for changes

Well, I also use 500x500 art which I scan myself. I embed the art in
every single track it applies to, so if I copy tracks here or there at
home I don't have to be concerned. I limit the size of art to 30KB
usually, 40KB if it's complicated, 60KB if it's really complicated

If you are using VortexBox, the preferred art location is cover.jpg in
each album directory.
If you want to find or upgrade cover art, bliss works very well for
this. http://www.blisshq.com. I have it set to look for cover art
500x500 or larger. This displays well on my iPad with iPeng or

I use embedded art for a number of reasons , foremost the file is self
sufficient if I pick single songs to be used in another context they
still have their art and for downloaded albums it has been common with
different art for every track ?
But I still keep a cover.jpg/folder.jpg for each
