Hello,

Mp3tag imports covers from COVERURL always as image/jpeg.

I want it to keep the file format. Image/png should stay image/png.

How can I do that?

Best regards,  
Felix

Sorry I had a fallacy.

Everything is doing fine.

I picked up the coverurl from the iTunes-Website and it was png.  
But the lookup from Search API is jpg.  
Whyever.

Sorry my fault.

Unfortunately png would be better quality.  
But I won't change all abum arts manually ...
