[SOLVED] No album-covers in DSF-files

[TheOldPresbyope]

I have FLAC + DSF-files and I use MP3Tag ID3. The cover-jpg files are not seperate files in the map but all "stored" in the file itself. When I play FLAC, all my album-covers are visible. When I play DSF there are none album-covers. How come and is there a solution?

I think there is no parsing for DSF files when it comes to extracting album-art, only mp3, flac and mp4 as containers... @Tim Curtis...?


Cheers, Al.

This is true as far as my few test files are concerned. I've never looked carefully at this. As my professors would say, "it's a problem for an interested student." I just add an appropriate .jpg file to the album directory (of which I have only one ).

The DSF spec says the metadata (included coverart) is to be contained in an ID3v2 metadata tag in a chunk at the end of the file with an 8-byte pointer to it in the DSD header chunk. 

ETA - 
1) mediainfo can parse the ID3v2 tag and includes info about the coverart in its output.
2) I grabbed a sampler album from nativeDSD.com some years ago; there are other sources of free DSD material online.
