Have not been successful with this, best Ive been able to do was add an image to just the thumbnail view of the file but otherwise just a horrible pictureless checkerboard placeholder shows throughout the file during playback

Edit: [used Shotcut] discovered if import the cover jpeg in with the other file(s) and drag it to the playback window (it will be checkerboard pattern if no image) it embeds the album art thruough the entire output file.

Use Picard from musicbrainz. Its Foss and available on most Linux distros. Even windoze/mac, idk, most likely it'd be there. The GUI is self helpful or maybe watch a YouTube video explaining it. Otherwise try searching for a album tagger application, I remember there was something like Kid3, but Picard is more than enough.

    Thanks for the recommendation, I will add it to my arsenal just in case.

    Discovered yesterday (experimenting with Shotcut, its also FOSS) that if I add the cover in with the audio/video files I import to merge and export, I can drag the imported album art to the play window and it includes it to the entire output so the problem is officially solved.

    Shotcut is amazing
