Embedded artwork in music

If Plex is configured according to those instructions, your embedded art should be used. If Plex can’t use your embedded art for some reason, it looks for a local artwork file.

This order will get reversed, if it not already is.

The reasoning is, that embedded artwork is mostly in low resolution. If you wanted high resolution, you’d have to embed the same big high-res file into all tracks of an album. Especially when we are talking about mp3 files this is insane. It’d increase the memory footprint of an album immensely.
Therefore, if there is one sidecar cover art file, this will take priority.

Excellent! I’ve often thought it should be that way.
