Option to embed artwork in music files on a download sync task

[ginjaninja 643]

I would like [an option] to embed the Emby associated artwork into [music] files when they are download. Wether transocded or original as they get to the destination.

This is so that when an application like VLC (or even emby) accesses downloaded/synced content it presents the artwork. (In my case in apple car play with 1000 track playlist)

Embedding artwork in all music files beforehand is a bit wasteful on disk space (adding ~500KB per file would add 33 GB)

thanks for considering

Ok well thats embarrassing.
i used mp3tag to embed artwork in every track at 500x500 as recommended and The library didnt increase the size. The resultant jpgs were smaller than expect avg. 50KB
Doesnt sound possible but over 1tb library the total size barely changed. Possibly the sector size of the storage is such that a small image typically doesnt affect disk usage?
The feature request is possibly redundant.
Here is the mp3tag i used in case its of interest. 1st line finds the image in the current folder or above and imports it.
2nd one resizes to 500x500 as jpg consistently.
VLC sees the images now in car play, so im a happy bunny.
