Problems with multiple embedded album covers
-
I prefer to have Strawberry use only embedded artwork for the collection. And for the most part, it works very well. Where issues arise is when the album's metadata contains multiple album covers.
I will occasionally include an alternate cover when tagging the songs. For example, sometimes the CD cover is different than the original release that I am familiar with, so I will use the original cover, but include the actual cover in the tags as an alternative.
From my observations in the tag editor, Kid3-qt, the songs will use the first cover listed, i.e., "1 of 2", as the embedded cover. (This is the cover that is shown in the thumbnails of my file manager.) This is also the behavior in iTunes, with which I am long familiar.
Strawberry, however, appears to display the embedded cover with the largest file size, regardless if it is listed as "1" or "2" in the tag editor, so sometimes the album shows up with the "wrong" cover.
I would like Strawberry to force the use of embedded covers, and to use "Cover 1" by default.
Since Strawberry does not appear to support multiple covers in the built-in editor, I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request.
