When you say ID3V2, do you mean ID3V2 in MP3s? Because EasyTag has the
option to write ID3V2 into FLAC as well and it still doesn't show in
MythMusic.

If MM doesn't support album art in FLAC yet, then I have to live with it
until it is implemented and store the covers in the album folder. I
don't really like the covers stored separately and haven't found a
program which does it automatically. The suggested Rythmbox doesn't seem
to do it as it claims. The plugin is enabled, but it only shows existing
album art and doesn't download anything from the Internet. :-(
