Recently switched from Windows...Need Advice on Album Cover Handling

Hello,

I recently switched from Windows/Windows Media to Ubutnu/Amarok.  While the change has been great, I have a few concerns about how Amarok *might* be handling album covers.  In Windows Media, adding cover art involved modifying the mp3 file itself to hold the art work as metadata.  Therefore, when I transferred my mp3s to an iPod, all of the mp3s took their art work with them.  However, in Amarok it seems as if adding/modifying art work happens outside the mp3 file itself (possibly in a database?).  I am worried that when I resume ipod loading, the artwork I've been pulling in through Amarok's cool "fetch from Amazon.com" function might get scooped with the files.  Is this correct?  If so, is there a different way of appending cover art to mp3s through Amarok (aside from the "set album cover" function)...

Thanks!

1. embed cover to id3 tag with easytag
2. save cover.jpg or cover.png or cover.gif (whatever) in album folder

works for 100% of the use cases for me.
