Windows 11, MP3Tag 3.21. I know how to attach cover art images to my MP3s. Some of my MP3s also have a background image of the artist. I don't know how it got there and I can't see anything in "properties" to explain it. In Media Player and VLC these display differently but they are always there somewhere. See screengrabs. ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9b3e2efe743840e11a4793fb0306a622a8fd6a1a.jpeg) ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f528677fe3541185c6b3bf68ad6a5e1fcadf117a.png) ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8130ff2898880a7a563b246c09b0ceebaaba3ff1.png) ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4a7b0765b51edd1f50219533404821043ca41d33.png) ---

In which program do you want to see the artist's picture? What does MP3tag show? ---

Even though these are the file properties, either a screenshot of the extended tags dialogue Alt-T or a screenshot of the tag panel would help. Or you could answer most of it yourself: Have you embedded 2 pictures? Have you set one of the picture types to "Front" and the other to "Lead Artist"? Have you checked that your player has actually a function to display both pictures - and does not take if from some kind of internet source? ---

Well this is the Alt-T info. ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1ae98c53e8ac4474680bee1cb2cb6714e2668add.png) I don't know how I could embed two pictures. Can you explain, please? The player I use is either Media Player or VLC. I don't know how to answer your final question. ---

You can add another picture either with the "New" button or with drag&drop onto the picture frame. This works in the extended tags dialogue as well as with the picture area in the tag panel. If you have more than 1 embedded picture in a file, then you will see scroll-area under the displayed picture. A right-click on the currently displayed picture opens a context menu that allows you to set the picture type for the current picture. If you do not know how or if at all your player displays more than 1 picture, then it is rather tricky to find the right function in MP3tag. It would then be probably more effective to ask the player's support what the player needs. ---

This file shows only a single cover is embedded. You may need to check with VLC or Media Player if they are using web sources to add their own Artist image(s). ---
