While I agree that it is handy to always be able to fix it within Rockbox, I think the most expected result is that per-file art will always trump per-album art in priority. But external art for a single song should always trump embedded art for a single song, in my mind. Embedded art can be present accidentally, but if I understand correctly, files in the parent directory can also be used for Album Art so that one might have a filler "artist" or "genre" image for the cases when album art isn't present. Think that being able to fix it is "nice" but general cases trumping specific cases is "confusing", and I think it's more important to avoid confusing than it is to have nice, especially since it should, I believe, be rare that there's an album image for a bunch of files where some have album art and some do not. It's also handy to be able to say that "the more specific case's image will always be used, with the explicit file taking precedence over the embedded image if there's a conflict at the per-file level."
