Question about MP3's, Embedded Art, and Mp3 Scraping
#1
I imported my MP3 collection into XBMC and noticed all the embedded ID3 Album Art is Low-Res, must fix.

Questions:


1) What is the Resolution I should be shooting for as I begin my album art project that appears best on XBMC?

2) Can ID3 embedded album art support high-res images or do I have to go to the folder.jpg/.tbn route? I would rather not as this directory is shared by iTunes and would rather have the high-res version of the Album Art embedded into the .mp3

3) What do you all suggest be used for scraping album art to replace the existing low-res art with High-Res?

1-I'd say 512x512 minimum for most 720p skins - for others like Xperience1080p might be best to ask in their skin forum
2-yes it can but each file will be increased in size if you embed the hi-res art
If you use iTunes to embed make sure to do it through the song info dialog, and not by dragging to the bottom left corner-selected item artwork. The second way won't embed the art.

3-not sure I don't really use the XBMC music db much
