You keep quoting your own posts, but seem to be replying to others. i assume you are asking about the "process" mentioned here.
What Spoon is suggesting here is to simply add a process for the original file to add the artwork, and not to bother converting the format itself. When you "convert" a mp3 file to FLAC you do not gain any quality benefit, and in fact you simply end up with a bigger file size that is no better in quality than the previous mp3 file was. So this is just a waste of storage space. If you have access to the original source (CD?) you can at least rip that again fresh to get a FLAC file that is the equivalent "lossless" format.
