Album Art will not load
Answered
Several titles load all of the metadata correctly except for album art. So I purchased an app called Metadatics to assist. I studied the requirements for art, i.e. must be perfectly square, .jpg format, less than 11mb, etc. I am able to burrow into the Vault 2i and locate the album, and I save the scanned art, close the app, and eject the player. I then use the BluOS Controller to update the library. In other words, I follow the procedure to the letter and still, some art will not attach to the files. What can I do to solve the problem??

11MB!? Used to be 600KB - I realise these restrictions have been lifted a bit, but try experimenting with reducing that. There are also resolution considerations, try restricting (for now) to, say, 500x500 and just seeing if it works.
As @Seppi says, you'll need a rebuild after each change.
You mention it's a scan - these could produce very large files with more... exotic... JPEG parameters than you expect (progressive, DPI etc).

Yes - there's no mention of 11MB there. 4MB at the absolute most so that the software will attempt a resize.
The reason for these limits is often that the software doesn't have enough memory allocated to read in the entire image - even though it's only (say) 11MB on disk it can be far larger in memory, depending on the software used.

Confirmed 4096kb is the absolute limit - more than that and it is ignored completely...

I can't get album art to load at all. Tried rebuilding the index, tried reloading album art, turned optimization off and on. Very frustrated.

I had similar problems, years ago, but it works (mostly) fine now. I use 'Tag' to trim artwork and other Meta data. It works fine and is simple to use, really versatile. Early on I also used Bliss, the material I work with now is better suited to Tag :-)
Had one probelm lately after merging several albums into one, there was one single song that would not really "move to the new gang" and it kept coming up as residing in its own album. Even rebuilding index did not solve it, so to pinpoint its placement on my NAS i renamed the song name a bit, and that did it. The odd album was now gone and the song 'home again'.
