I'm having a rather unusual problem with some MP3 files I just got. In Windows 10, I can see the embedded artwork just fine in the details pane, yet the artwork does not display in MP3tag. The artwork also displays fine in MPC-HC, but does not in iTunes. Over the years I've re-tagged nearly 100,00…

Set the explorer to show hidden files and then check if there is a file called folder.jpg in the folder. If this then also shows the expected cover, then there you are: the cover can be found in that external file, it is not embedded. You can embed the external cover art with a single action "Impor…

No, this isn't as simple as that. Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm way ahead of you. I always have explorer set to show hidden and system files. And I know MP3tag inside and out for the mot part. I know very well how to add artwork via a jpg or png, that's pretty elementary. And again, thanks,…

No thumbs.db file present in the folder. I'm set to read APE tags. The tag column shows ID3v2.3 (ID 3v1 ID 3v2,3). No indication the tag is bad. I use the %_covers% column regularly (as well as many other column I've added) - no indication cover is present there. Yes, embedding another cover is …

Assuming you're using Win 10 OS. Left-click file and highlight 'Properties' Click 'ID-Tag' tab Scroll all the way down to 'Art' Highlight hidden art to export or import art from the internet to MP3 file
