> I pasted my own artwork into the "front cover". When I play the song, some standard cover (found somewhere on the internet) displays instead. I want my art, not, the found art. I imagine there is a default...somewhere...which controls this, but, cannot find it. (Suggest if art is entered, THAT should be used as an MP3Tag default). I'm using VLC media player, I'm assuming the player is not entering the unwanted artwork, but, perhaps it is..?

Perhaps you have to clear the vlc cache.

This was easily done using MusicMatch in the past. I know, I know, it's spelled out in the documentation somewhere, but, sorry, I cannot figure it out.

Use the function Convert\>Filename - Tag  
%artist% - %title%  
Or if the ARTIST is already filled and you don't want to change it:  
%dummy% - %title%
