Heya, I have really annoying problem with my song covers. First of all I made a new ordner with one mp3 file inside. Then I started mp3tag to just add a cover from my disk to this song. All other tags were already filled. I accidently used the wrong cover, but can't change it now! If i try to keep the content of all other tags as it was at the beginning, it everytime switches back to the wrong cover, when I Play the song. For example: if I just remove the album name, it shows the new selected cover. But if I add it again, the old wrong cover appears again. It seems like the cover.jpeg is connected to the special combination of filled tags, but I don't know how to remove this connection. I didn't forgot to save and i tried different ways to change the cover, but the problem is still there. I also reinstalled mp3tag - didn't helped as well. Hopefully you can help me to solve it, it is really frustrating. Thank you for your help! Steinium ---

It is not quite clear for me where you see the unwanted picture. But you could check if you have not set File\>Options\>Tags\>"Do not show pictures from folder as album cover". If you have not set it, then the tag panel shows the first picture it finds in a folder. You can see whether it is embedded or the picture from the folder as the embedded picture does not have a filename. Or is it your player that does update? ---
