FWIW, I made embedded AA beat external AA because it was most simple
code-wise. They have different detection mechanisms.

I don't mind if filename.jpg overrides embedded AA, but I strongly
disagree that folder.jpg (or similar, i.e. album level AA) should cancel
out track level AA, be it embedded or external.

Best regards.
