Hi, this is probably a very simple question, so please bare with me.

I have embedded cover art into my music files (mp3, wma, flac) using Mp3tag, and there is one annoying thing about this process.

When I add a picture using the tag panel or the extended tag window, everything works ok, the picture is showing up when added. When I save the changes, the picture is gone!. Strangely enough, this only applies to mp3's. The wma and flac's are showing up correctly.

I know for a fact that the pictures is embedded, because they're showing up in my Slim Server web interface, although not visible in Mp3tag.

Any ideas?

Best regards,  
Robert

Yes, it must have been the option to read APE that caused it. Disabled and working now, thanks!! 😃
