Thanks, JJZolx. Maybe I should throw ALBUMARTIST back in, just to be safe.
I saw the CRC thing in someone's arguments somewhere and added it to mine. I figured it must just be there as evidence that the track was ripped accurately (if the CRC is correct), but I couldn't say for sure.
I guess I don't necessarily want album art embedded in each track. I was just now scanning and experimenting with some album art, and if I tag it to each track it will take up a lot of space. And, like you said, it might be a pain to swap it out later... Plus, I don't want to feel pressured to scan/crop/tweak the album art every time I want to rip a CD in EAC (though I'm sure there are other programs that I could use to easily embed the album art later).
So if I can just store one copy of the album art with the ripped tracks, that would be great. Will foobar2000 and other players automatically look for album art in the folder where the tracks are located? (I suppose I can just test it with foobar and see.)
I guess I will leave the album art tag in the arguments but NOT utilize it (as long as I can simply put the album art in the folder with the ripped tracks) and just leave the arguments there so that I have the option of embedding album art via EAC. I just won't import album art into EAC unless I specifically want it embedded for some reason.
