Even adjusting the cover size has only been added a very short time ago. To get progressive jpegs into the baseline format there is a thread with some hints: > [@Is there a problem with certain JPG types?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/is-there-a-problem-with-certain-jpg-types/49803/): > > As I've become more active in this forum, I've occasionally seen reference to some sort of JPG problem. Certain types of image files won't display on common players, but Mp3tag does allow their use. I'm embedding cover art on every one of my 25,000 MP3 files, and would like to make sure I'm using the best (eg, most universal) format possible. Two questions: What is the file type that is giving problems? Is there a way to mass search thousands of files looking for just that type? Thank… I do not think that there is really a way around an external treatment. BTW: I think it is a poor implementation on Sony's side to forget the perfectly valid progressive format. So your initiative could just as well go to Sony and ask them if they could update their software on the players. (I know: they won't.) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/converting-progressive-jpg-cover-to-something-readable-by-sony-dap/50050)._
