well...
I want to insert the cover in every mp3, the problem I see it is that the new file is too big. If you include a 3MB cover the new file will get fat +3MB. I think this is a problem, not a solution.
I think to create a mini new cover 300x300 (30KB) and add it to the songs. The files get fat only a bit and the association works fine.
I want to know more options about this. Is it neccesary to create a mini cover? What is it the "standard solution?
Thanx...
PD: I want to see the cover in Grooveshark when I upload a song. Maybe the problem is in the web, but I don't know.

I use mainly files around 600x600 jpg files with aound 100kb. I download these files from the web and there it is between 300x300 and 600x600 what I find (goolge image search or Mp3Tag web sources scripts for [discogs.com](http://discogs.com))
There is no way to edit pictures within Mp3Tag, you need another app to do so.
If you want to keep your big 3MB files, it could be a solution for you to put the file in the folder and not in the tag. If you name it folder.jpg, most media players show it as cover picture.
