RE: Good point about file size

"What would be the advantage of embedding an album image into each music file? And wouldn't that require more work since you're dealing with each individual file? Or will most Players that can manage album art automate this process?"

I guess technically there is no advantage to embedding vs a single image file. I do both for completeness and to future proof against any music players that may only use one approach, probably unlikely at this stage (iTunes only used embedded images while other players only used the folder.jpg image). Any tag editor will allow embedding an image into all files of an album in one shot, so not much effort involved.
