    folder.jpg OR jpg in metadata

    Hello

    Does Squeezecenter use per default folder.jpg stored in the same folder as the .FLAC files or the .jpg inside the FLACs medatada?

    Regards
    Christian

    Pretty sure it's configurable in the options.

    I don't think you need to select anything in the options, I think it will use either, but I don't know which takes precedence.
    I personally use folder.jpg in each of the album directories.

    i never put it in the metadata, seems useless, complicated and a waste to me. but i am pretty sure if present, that takes precedence.

    i told SC to use Folder.jpg specifically for everything, b/c WMP put other files in the dir SC then used, and they looked terrible b/c they were smaller.

    It defaults to the metadata. I noticed this when I downloaded the NIN album on flac and each file had different art than the folder.jpg.

    I use both methods hard disk space is an non issue and if I have embedded art the file is self sufficient, when used out of album context not necesarily on SC but for example if one brings a couple of tunes to a friend for a party or whatever
