Why does mp3tag let you save a cover graphic to a wav file? They don't show up anywhere, I wonder, is there any point in doing this? Just curious. (I'm using mp3tag to add tags to some wav files.)  
Thanks.

Maybe this could be a reason:

> [@Cover art saved to WAV isn't displayed in Groove](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/cover-art-saved-to-wav-isnt-displayed-in-groove/53080/9):

> From wav you can convert to FLAC and stay lossless. Plus have the ability to tag and embed the album art. The mp3 format is lossy.

or

> iTunes doesn't support reading cover art from WAV tags. I think you can add it from within iTunes, but then it's only part of iTunes' internal database. If you need a lossless codec to work along iTunes you could try ALAC or AIFF.

I think you are addressing the wrong forum or program.  
Ask the same question in the player's support which is why the player does not support covers in wav files.  
And: foobar2000 does show embedded covers of wav files.
