Hi,  
Is there any way to confirm whether or not a track has Cover Art embedded in it?  
I have some AAC files (M4A) which allegedly contain Art.

I don't have a fancy iPod to do this nor do I have the faintest idea how to configure Foobar to show it.

Help!

In Mp3tag make a new column with the value **$covers()**

Or press ALT+T and if you see a cover and left click on it and it does not open it is embedded.

If you edit a file with embedded cover in foobar, it will be deleted.

Just get the latest Mp3tag version and go to ![:mt_tag:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/e7edc735a96d8d241c37593e98667ab3dc20c6b6.png ":mt\_tag:") View \> Tags...
