Describe the bug
(I'm not sure if this is not supported, or a bug.) When I have Album art embedded in the mp3 file (as described here), and I upload it to the music directory (and sync) the album art isn't shown in the webinterface.

To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Upload a song with an embedded album art, or use the sample provided below
Sync
Admire the default album artwork for the album

Expected behavior
The album should have the artwork that is embedded in the mp3 file.
