How do embedded Artist images in the file tags fit into this? The tag formats (id3, mp4, Vorbis) all support it, will Navidrome? One thing that annoys me with Plex...

For reference, here's three samples (mp3 with id3, aac with mp4 and OGG with Vorbis tags) of files with both embedded cover art *and* artist images. [Samples.zip](https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/files/6142378/Samples.zip) id3v2.4 has these...

> @certuna: Navidrome don't read the `TLEN`, but it provides this information. Both `ffmpeg` and `taglib` extractors provide this info. Is there any advantage of reading the tag versus relying...

Correct, DSF at this point can only be read by ffmpeg, not by Taglib. Not much we can do about that...

Navidrome has only read-only access to music, any tagging (extra tags in the Genre or Comments fields for example) you'll need to do outside of Navidrome.

yeah taglib might be choking on that image, it's mjpeg (=video). Here's someone else with the same problem: https://github.com/taglib/taglib/issues/941

Bear in mind that there *is* a standard separator: `/` for id3v2.3, and the null character (0x00) for id3v2.4. Vorbis Comments (used for FLAC) just has multiple ARTIST tags. Other...

That is pretty terrible actually - three years and still not fixed?

By the looks of it, the ffmpeg devs don't care, so the solution is either find another tag library or write a commit for ffmpeg (how's your C?) - what's...

So [taglib](https://github.com/taglib/taglib) is our new saviour?
