I think the Clip Sport has some confusing requirements for the pixel size and density for artwork embedded in m4a files. 

Here is a link to a recent message stream on this Forum.

Here is a trick you may not know for the Clip Sport.

  1. Save your desired album art file as “folder.jpg” in the subfolder with your desired podcast mp3 files. Try using a square shaped image in the range of 200-300 pixels at density between 72 and 100. (these are my personal prefs)

  2. Then make sure all the mp3 files in this subfolder do not have embedded clip art. (Very likely result from batch conversion.)

  3. The Clip Sport will display the non-embedded “folder.jpg” file while playing any “naked” mp3 files in this subfolder.

  4. You can play around with pixel dimensions and density for best results. Maybe share your results here ??

I like to use the software “IrfanView” for curating my folder.jpg and embedded jpg files.
