Hi,
I don't want to sound pedantic (really, I don't!), but I noticed something relating to the behaviour the Sony Walkman since using 'embedded' artworks this week:
As the album moves from one track to the next, it is almost as if the artwork is refreshed. I mean, as soon as the player jumps to the next track on the album, for about a 1/4 of a second the artwork disappears (ie, the artwork region of the screen goes blank) and then reappears again. Perhaps this is what happens with 'embedded' art?, or maybe it's just down to a quirk on the Walkman?
I will check it in foobar on my PC just to see is the same thing occurs...

I use embedded art in mp3 files in my car player, and it refreshes like your Walkman. Foobar mobile on my iPhone doesn't do a refresh for embedded art in mp3 files.
I'm interested in how the Walkman handles multi-value tags, if you use them.
Hi Garym,
You are probably correct here. Yes, the Walkman treats each new artwork-file as if it were different, even though the image is the exactly same!
I think, by default, foobar is reading the 'folder' art. Hence there is no refreshing of any track-images (unless of course it's a box-set with multiple-arts). I just tried it using foobar on my PC. btw - the FLAC folder it is reading is the one on my C: drive which has both 'embedded' and 'folder' (same FLAC folder as on the Walkman SD-card).
Cheers.

Hi GaryG,
Thanks for the info.
I am afraid I only use FLAC format now; and I only listen using my Sony Walkman, Win_10 PC, and Amazon Fire. The latter two are through foobar app.
"Multi value tags"; I seem to remember hearing/thinking about this sometime last year? So much has gone on through my journey of FLACs/ripping, etc! And so please remind me just in case I am able to return some assistance.

Paul,
An example would be genre. I have albums where the genre is Jazz and Pop. Another multi-value tag would be the STYLE tag, which I believe you were using. Although I doubt if many players display style. You may have decided to not use them.

Spoon, I believe the baseline (standard) versus progressive format for .jpg files, is something that could be incorporated into dBpoweramp Image Converter, maybe as a DSP?
Hi GaryG,
I took a look for you last night.
The Sony Walkman has:
ARTIST - this can be set to ARTIST or ALBUM ARTIST (I have it to the latter)
RELEASE YEAR - the year the album was released (I manually entered this data during tagging). I don't use this category as a search function to be honest. Personally, I would have preferred RECORDED YEAR.
ALBUM - is an alphabetical list of every album (all GENRES combined) in an A to Z list. I don't use this category.
COMPOSER - gives you a list of how many ALBUMS a composer has contributed to. So, if a composer has written 50 songs across 20 albums, the result will indicate the amount of '20'. I may end up using this once I get around to listening to some CLASSICALs.
GENRE - I use this one all of the time! I currently have: Choral, Classical, Country, Holistic, Jazz, Languages, Popular, Prog-Rock, Stage & Screen, Self-Development, and Xmas.
Upon checking this info. for you, I have noticed something odd which is occurring in my library. The folder containing all of Chick Corea's albums does not appear under the letter 'C'?, but rather between 'F' and 'G'. Similarly, George Shearing appears between 'M' and 'O'! Though I have not investigated this thoroughly as of yet.

iBasso has released a new DAP lately called DX120. It as no Wifi, no Blutooth and no changeable amplifier, but two card slots, an uptime up to 16 hours with one charge. The new model is inexpensive if you compare it to the bigger models like DX150 or DX200.
