Summary0013032: Support for changing cover image format during sync.
DescriptionIt seems, there are still devices, that have problems with some basic image formats. E.g. new Sony NW-ZX100 walkman does not support progressive JPEG, only baseline. We should at least add option to convert all covers to baseline JPEGs, to avoid this problem. It could be done losslessly somehow, but reconverting with some reasonable quality would be enough I think.
Maybe we could add this together with cover resizing during sync (as mentioned in issue 0012958).

I think that we could add another option to Device -> Options -> Tagging under the
[ ] Remove artwork from tags if larger than: [300] KB
checkbox, something like:

[ ] Always convert artwork to format [JPG^, PNG, BMP], [Baseline^, Progressive] and resolution to [320] px

Note that the UI originally suggested in 0012958 isn't much usable here, because user needs to spec exact and whatever resolution that will be used for _all_ artwork and also format subtype (like 'Baseline').

EDIT: I changed [320] x [320] just to [320] px, because aspect ratio should be preserved here.
To illustrate: 640x320 should be converted to 320x160 while 320x640 should be converted to 160x320 by using this default.


Assigned to Rusty for UI review.

Ok, makes sense to me, Rusty please comment and clarify wording if necessary.
