Do you see no coverart at all or do you only see the wrong coverart?  
If you see the wrong coverart:  
You have to delete the referring content of VLCs cachefolder in  
%appdata%\vlc\art\artistalbum.

If you don't see the coverart at all:  
Have a look if you really saved the coverart. Define a column with the name "Coverart" an the value %\_covers%.

If you have a cover saved:  
How large is the cover?  
What kind of tag do you see in the header of the extended tagview (ALT-t). Is it "FLAC (FLAC)" or is it something else?

thanks for the info --- I add the column in vlc "cover" and I see it there --- once the track plays the cover art then is displayed ---- also, the cover does show up in itunes -- I guest it is a vlc quirk
