hello! does anyone know if the album art function in picard automatically converts everything to progressive jpeg? after adding an album cover as png in picard the info says its jpeg (i have an mp3 player that doesnt recognise progressive jpegs so just trying to figure out if this is the problem lol)

Picard uses mutagen for embedding images and tag information, and I don't think it changes the image format. What size is the PNG file you're embedding? I'm wondering if perhaps it's too large for embedding in an MP3?

good to know, thanks so much! the png is 250x250 px so it should work. the album art shows up for some albums and doesnt for others, but everythings added the same way

nevermind, seems to work embedding it with mp3tag instead. not sure what the difference was, thanks again though!!!!

Hey, does Picard support saving multiple images to one file? By the looks, it does not but I am probably doing something wrong. I tried, flac, wav, and mp3. This is the relevant code in my plugin that adds the second image:... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/chatbrainz.org/XtKFjVCghZDWufCcUxoCxXwp>)

<cy1der[m]> "Hey, does Picard support..." <- It does, but it depends on the file format, not all audio files can store multiple images. Also it depends on the Picard configuration regarding embedded cover art (see documentation).

aha, the culprit was I had "Embed only a single front image" enabled, thanks

Interesting, why does Picard save the second image as the *first* video stream no matter what I do?... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/chatbrainz.org/TJlYvudlGvsqvlJQuaAFgJCp>)

ffmpeg's handling of cover art isn't very good, but the order there really doesn't matter

actual music players will pick the first image of the correct *type*, not the first image.
