And besides, you sent me CD of covers in the first place. Doesn't bother me none, except my webspace is limited to 25M! Liteoni it should be possible to convert the set using almost no recompression at all. certainly no recompression on the front cover/spine would be easy. Your best bet is to still save it in JPEG format because it's already gone through lossy compression to get to it's state, so you may as well sacrifice more quality since you aren't gaining anything by not. If people want it the same quality as the original JPEG they can do it themselves.

Yes I said it's _theorically_ better because of one less JPEG compression... But that was not the real reason to use PNG. The real reason is that the .png file size is actually smaller than original .jpg
Though when i zipped those 4 files as someone requested the jpegs package was smaller. Not much though. But I don't want to keep my covers in archives so I just use PNG.
