The issue described in the OT is no longer the case in current versions of Mp3tag (this topic is 13 years old). I've changed the behavior with v2.95a as outlined here:

> I've changed the copy-paste behavior with [Mp3tag v2.95a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455). Besides the DIB version that is used to create the JPEG, Mp3tag now also copies the actual image data to the clipboard and prefers that when pasting internally.

The original JPEG is copied when copying covers from file to file.

Regarding the JPEG/PNG encoders used in Mp3tag: I'm using Windows GDI+ and have no plans of changing that.
