Disk space is cheap and I have gotten in the habit of ripping tracks to FLAC and embedding coverart as a Vorbis Comment Picture Block. This has always worked well for me.
FYI, while investigating several users' unrelated issue with .m4a files I came across this two-week old comment in the MPD Issues log, posted by the MPD maintainer himself, in response to a user who wasn't getting the coverart returned from his .m4a files:

Quote:MPD currently supports embedded pictures in FLAC files and in ID3v2 tags. Your file has neither.
MPD reads M4A files using the FFmpeg library, and that decoder plugin currently doesn't support embedded pictures. So this is a missing feature. Your file will be helpful with implementing and testing the feature for MPD's FFmpeg plugin.
