What size should cover art be for MP3?

Here’s a rough guide as to what sizes you should be aiming for: Personal MP3 players e.g. iPod, smartphones – aim for small/medium size images of around 300×300 pixels. The higher resolution players are around 800 pixels in one dimension, so 300×300 leaves just under half the screen for the artwork.

How do you know if album artwork is embedded?

One way is to use a tag editor. Tag editors (or sometimes just ‘taggers’) are software that display the internal tags stored inside MP3s and other music files. Embedded album art is just another one of these tags, and so most MP3 tagging software will show any album art already embedded in your files.

How do I add album art metadata?

Click the “Info” tab if you have multiple songs selected. Click the “Artwork” tab if you have only one song selected. Right-click the empty box area under the Artwork section, and then click “Paste.” Click “OK” to save your changes. Your album art is now embedded in the album’s metadata.

Can a cover art be embedded in an MP3?

Do you embed album art on a CD?

From a data structure view an album art is not a property of a track but a property of an entire album. Not a track has got a CD cover but an entire album does. Embed it to tracks is redundancy. If I would store my albums as single ape/flac… files + cue it is correct to embed an album art.

Is it better to put album cover art in a folder?

If you have a 12 track album with a 1mb album cover, you will be wasting about 11mb of space for each album. If you put one cover art picture in the album’s folder, then you don’t have to waste space. Also, if you ever need to update the album art, you only have to update 1 file instead of every mp3.
