I have my collection of audio songs, most of them in MP3 format. Recently started my collection in FLAC format and it grows very fast.
I like to have all possible info about the song(singers, composer, year of release, actors etc) as much accurate as possible. Until now I am using ID3V2 tag for the same.
All audio files are currently stored in language wise different folders. All files(except western) are named <moviename>-<Song>.mp3. Files of western songs are named <Artist>-<AlbumName>-<Song>.mp3
I am planning to add album art to my songs collection. It will be like CD Cover of the Album/movie(wherever available) for all the songs from the album/movie.
Now few queries
1) What is the best way to maintain album art in collection?
2) Instead of all songs (of a language) in one folder, should I keep one folder per album or movie?
3) Is embedding the album as part of audio file a good idea?
4) Currently the collection are played through PC / Zune 30GB player but soon planning for a PMP with flac and wma support. Will different players have different way of recognizing the album art?
5) Which is the better audio format (flac/wma/alac) in terms of usage with album art?
All your suggestions and tips will be of huge help.
