Yes, embedded album art in ID tags is still supported. But you're right. Stopping at an album jpeg while shuffling through a folder is nasty. Any ideas for how to make this better? Well, I'm thinking of ways to remove stuff from the index, or exclude it from indexing. But you can disable automatic indexing and manually add your stuff to the index now. This way, you will only have your music indexed. Just make two folders: one with music with all its subdirectories, and one with audio books. Then just select "Scan for Media" on the folder with music.
