I think that's a 1990 decade thread is it? I think so because the way the disgussion was done reflects the old concepts from the days where users did cry loud since embedding a coverpic did eat up that much of the lovely HDD space that all wanted to make redundant data as small as possible, while still wanting to have the benefits of embedded data.

I think my HDD used when I started my audio collection was sized .... somewhat equal to the buffermemory my actual drive offer.

So in the end it's not a question of 'where' to store, it's more a question about how much benefit a user gets out of data he did embeed into the files. The handling is pretty the same no matter if we talk about album front covers, artists, genres, label/publishers whatsoever. In ID3v2.x it's all well defined since decades but some softwarecoders are still stuck with concepts which are ideal if you tend to use 30MB MFM or RLL HHDs from the 80th. ;-)
