Hi!

I can't seem to save imported artwork anymore. I usually use [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) or .de but now when mp3tag finds the correct cover art I click ok but it doesn't show up in the art box. Any ideas of what this could be? I'm thinking maybe it's since I upgraded to 2.65a?

Very best  
Johan

There is an Utils-Button in lower left corner of this window.  
You have to activate if you want to save the cover in the tag and/or in the folder.

If you only want to save it in the folder you have to leave "Don't display first image from the file directory" unmarked in order to see it in the Mp3Tag-Panel. (File -\> Options -\> Tags)
