bump, this is insanely useful for rockbox users

I managed to get this working on my fork. @casualsnek do you think this even needs an option or should it just default to saving the cover art as cover.png all the time like I did in my fork?

This being a default behavior won't be too bad as i have seen a lot of media player use it instead of embedded one or using embedded ones only if cover.png is missing !

Good to know you got it working, normally i wold have suggested you to make a PR, but since i am rewriting onthespot all PR and non critical Issue resolution are paused right now. I may make this a default behavior but configurable using the config files in the rewrite.

I also have a version that works on my fork, even with a settings option you can tick. I used .jpg tho, because that's what Spotify gives you.
If the file already exists, it skips it.

Ah I just used png because that's what the method set_music_thumbnail used a few lines above my text. Not unnecessarily converting between formats is probably more efficient...

Same!

Sounds perfect! Thanks!
