Art in tags or in folder?

[gordol]

I'm at a loss here, and looking for advise. Basically, is this a bug or am I doing it wrong and need to change how I use it?

My music collection has ~1800 albums, for ~19.6k tracks. I have the album art stored in the tag space on all the tracks. The problem is randomly, MediaMonkey, and I think it's the Android app not the desktop app, replaces the high quality art with low quality crap. I can have manually searched for or photographed a high quality image, typically at least 1000x1000px and apply it to all tracks in the album and delete low quality art from the metadata and save it. And then it'll revert back to low quality. Or I'll use the 600x600px art that came with the album (Amazon digital purchase, etc) and it'll get replaced with a 300x300 version.

There are also a few single tracks that will randomly show no art at all on the phone, but it's there on the desktop.

So, is this a bug somewhere or am I doing it wrong and need to go through my library and re-save the art to separate image files in the album folders instead of in the individual tracks' metadata?

So far as I'm aware, MMW does not automatically look up album art and I have the phone app to not do that either.

MMW does feature automatic Artwork lookup. You can also do manual lookup in MMW.

Are you changing the Artwork in MMA to a high resolution Artwork and this is lost at some point in MMA? Which version of MMA are you using?

I know. This is heavily implied in what I wrote.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. And often the change is reflected back in MMW.

I am using build 1252 on Android and was using 3113 on the desktop, updated to the beta build 3162 per a support ticket last night. However, mangling the album art has been a long-standing issue with MediaMonkey, I'm just getting really really tired of it.

Automatic artwork is disabled on both ends.
