Correct, the orig question was about editing the metadata in an Ogg/Vorbis
file (not an Ogg/Vorbis *album* ;) and the later observation was that
VLC was popping a picture when listening to some of the *tracks*.

>(a) very few, if any, albums have a different image for each track

True. All I can say is that where a number of MP3 tracks of individual
songs from an album exhibit this behaviour in VLC, it's because the
album cover is embedded in each one.

No need for a different image for each track, although that would be
possible.

True, but since when was efficiency a thing any more?

The image that VLC is showing me for .mp3 files are the same images
shown in Easytag, and those images are embedded as metadata in each
individual mp3 file.

Yeah, I could strip them out to save some disc space, but I don't
bother.
