Yea I suppose I could just remove the art entirely and that works, but could ffmpeg get the art out of the songs? I wouldn’t know how to get them and out. But if it’s possible I might be able to just reattach them afterwards and see if the tag hasn’t gone or maybe edit while the image is separated.
