abcde -v:
This is abcde v2.12.1

 OK:
rm -r The_Chemical_Brothers-Come_With_Us/ The_Chemical_Brothers abcde.990cd70a
abcde -V -V -V -V -V -G -B -o mp3,flac 1

(...)
Successfully embedded the album art into your mp3 tracks
Suitable cover image not found, no embedding done...
Finished. Not cleaning /data/tmp/wav/abcde_working/abcde.990cd70a.


The mp3 have cover art, the flac is missing it.
