Batch Embed Album Art Into Mp3
It's been bugging me that the album art for my podcast doesn't appear in Windows Media Player, iTunes, or in iPods. I assumed, incorrectly, that this was an iTunes meta-tagging problem, but then I realized that this was an MP3 problem, not an AAC or WMA problem, although both formats support adding art to the file. The ID3 format is pretty. Quite often the MP3 file ends up either losing or corrupting it’s Album Art image while changing hands. This results in a blank display on the screen (in most media players) once the user plays a file in Windows 10. This article demonstrates a range of methods that guide the reader fix missing or corrupted Album Art data for MP3 files.

Size matters. Some MP3 players don't show album art if it's too large. Some music lovers don't want album art that is too small.If you have a large music collection, resizing album art can be a pain. You may have hundreds or thousands of albums for which the album art must be resized. Resizing all of those images is bad enough, but if the art is embedded in your music files you also need to extract the art from each track, resize it and then re-embed it. This is a tedious, time consuming task.

Resizing album art with bliss is simple. bliss is rule based, so with the album art rule you specify the constraints your album art should obey. bliss works in bulk, so you don't need to work file by file. Let's try an example where we shrink art to be no bigger than 300x300 pixels.
The bliss UI shows that our collection's art is currently compliant:
Here I've exposed the '(why?)' link for each of the top albums, to show the current size of my album art.

We click 'Apply rule' to... apply the rule. bliss starts working through my music collection, resizing art that is over 300x300 pixels in size in bulk. Once complete, all art is reported as compliant:
