Player problem Apparently, you use only the WIndows Explorer and WMP as test environment. See what happens if you export the covers as file with the name "folder.jpg". ---

It looks like at least some of these are wav files. These won’t store embedded information like album art that I am aware of. ---

> [@MotleyG](#): > > These won’t store embedded information like album art that I am aware of. Mp3Tag is able to save tags - albumart included - to wave files. The problem is that most players can't cope with tags in wave-files. ---

This is more correct, thanks for clarifying. And to that point, I do believe Windows has no way of using embedded artwork on wav files for thumbnails, nor in wmp. ---
