The metadata block length field is 24 bits, so the upper limit is just a<br>
little less than 16 MB. At least in theory, I didn't test that.</blockquote>

can Josh maybe confirm this? I'm planning to include some BMP images of
album art in my FLAC files and those files can become big very quickly.
So I hope somebody can tell me the upper limit for images, so I don't
have problems with it when I exceed a certain filesize (without
'guessing' this limit). Thanks in advance

There's not really a standard (or rather there are several) for album<br>
art, and it still seems to be an advanced feature. Feel free to
agitate,
<br>
this is an area where the better metadata of the free formats is a real<br>
advantage.<br>
