All of my MP3 songs that have no cover art are now displaying an album cover - the same cover for all songs. When I right click on the cover art, all options are greyed out, so I can't remove the image. All of these songs are selected by using the filter: %\_covers% IS "" The cover art it chose to display is one I hadn't accessed during this session, so it was completely random! How can I get rid of this false display? Note: I'm pretty new to using this software and editing mp3 tags, so I'll need a simple solution! Thanks for any help! ---

All of these songs are selected by using the filter: %\_covers% IS "" Amazing ... please provide a screenshot of the dialog "Extended Tags...", which displays such a cover picture from one of those files.

That is not quite right, there are two menu options available, when you have choosen to display a picture file from within the current folder. OK, you got it, and we have learned probably a new aspect of confusion by the Mp3tag User interface. Thank you! DD.20140116.2121.CET ---
