Hello, new here. I made cover art for 650+ mp3 files last month, took me a week, with no problems: all came up (this really is a great program, thanks!), I used some covers I made myself, some copied from discogs, or MusicBrainz etc. After some time half of them "disappeared" when I opened mp3tag. W…

Load the files Check if the files really have embedded covers. Use the filter (press F3 to see where to enter the filter expression) %_covers% MISSING Ideally, no files appear in the files list. This would mean that all the loaded files have embedded covers. As soon as it is clear that the cove…

Ok, thx for quick reply, will check this out and come back at you

[image] ohrenkino: %_covers% MISSING Just investigated: When loading the program =/- 420 files from the 658 list, formerly with cover, are now without and +/- 238 files still have the cover I made for them When filtering with %_covers% MISSING in stead of no files, all files with no covers …

If you have hits in the filtered list then there are no covers. You would have to add them (again). What kind of files are these? MP3? MP4? WAV? FLAC? AAC?

all files have the all mp3 extension

if you have files that a) already have a cover and are part of an album where other files do not have a cover, then you could export the covers first to file and then import them back to all files of that album. E.g. if you have Abba: Arrival and at least 1 file of that album has a cover, then Cre…

Ok, thx again; will take some time to figure this out, but, again, will certainly come back to you! (ps and just love that Akai GX77 profile pic! What a great time that was!)

Some time has passed. I followed your previous advice, i.e.: to upload the dissapeared covers again, still busy with this proces, and see if they "hold". In the meantime, again, this question: some "special sign" letters such as "é", "è", "à" or "ö" for example are changed by the program into other …

[image] Boutman: example are changed by the program into other signs, e. Which character encoding do you save? It should be UTF-16. Check File>Options>Tags>mpeg for the setting

Think it is UTF-16 indeed see: [Mpeg]

Please check these files with mp3val and mp3diags. They are probably broken to some extent.
