Hi there,
so what I did was downloading somthing declared as free music on youtube with the Programm MediaHuman YouTube to MP3 Converter. Just copying the stuff right away on my mp3 player and the cover shows up immediatly. Now what I did with mp3tag is for instant open a file and just changed the title. That's it. Now I saved it and put it back on the player. From there on the cover isn't showing up anymore. Can anyone help me out here?
All the Best

Is the cover an embedded one?
Could you show us a screenshot of such a single file's extended tags dialogue (Alt-T)?

Also, check to make sure the file format is correct as well. These types of YT converters have a history of issues documented here in other threads.

> I downloaded several musics from YouTube and was able to listen to them normally, but when I used mp3tag to change some tags, they suddenly became unavailable. I tried using mp3val to repair them but it didn't work (it said it worked, but they still can't be opened). What can I do ? There are about 50 broken files and I don't really have the time to download them again

Check the files for consistency or supply one here on the forum for others to have a look.
also, it could be that the embedded picture is in the progressive mode and not the "normal" one. SOme players cannot cope with progressive pictures.

Thanks for the file.
I checked it with MP3diags and nothing suspicious shows up, Foobar2000 shows 2 different covers - so I would check if the player has some kind of cache or picture folder or database that needs updating.
Also, there are very few tag fields actually with data - so it could be that the player groups files together as "those without data in a field" and you see the picture of an arbitrary first file.

Ok. Thx for that. I will try a few things maybe I can figure it out.
