I am starting to use the program for the first time. So far I'm doing pretty well. I have already managed to change everything that I needed to "fix" the songs. But it turns out that there is an album that, although I have a cover on it, does not appear if I open it with VLC. However, I have other a…

Yes, as MP3diags showed, the embedded cover was corrupt. If you replace the embedded image with a good one, the players should show the working image.

[image] ohrenkino: So if you still see "art.jpg" as picture file in MP3tag then the picture is still only in the file system. It's also possible that the filename was used as cover description — but good point! [image] ohrenkino: Ideally, when all files have embedded pictures, the file l…

Yes. It stays empty as soon as I write that filter. And the image doesn't appear in the album files in MP3tag, but it does appear in the Windows folder. I mean the "art.jpg" file. But if I select a song from that album, the cover art appears on the left (where you can edit everything else), as if it…

I have nothing written in the description of the cover. Only the image of the cover itself. But that's what I'm saying, that it doesn't make sense to open other album and see the cover, but not on this one in particular. The folder where I keep these songs (the ones that are missing the covers) is …

I'm going to upload other album that shows up the cover. [img2] [img1] [img3]

Could you test the files without picture with the tools linked in this thread: [image] How to check files for errors? Howto It’s required and often helps to reduce support cycles to check files for errors before filing a bug report. Symptoms of erroneous files…

I got this: [MP3val] [MP3Diags] [foobar]

I thinkk the revealing tool here is MP3diags which says it cannot load the picture. So, please, delete the picture, check the files again with MP3diags that no other errors pop-up and the one with the picture is gone, then import / embed a working picture. See e.g. this thread: [ima…

After deleting the cover art: [MP3Diags] But still, if I open the song, the black screen still remains. [VLCsong] Then, If I change the cover to, for example, the one that I showed you earlier (the one in the album "7th Dragon"): [NewCover] Still, the black screen remains if I open the song…

And MP3 Diags, after that change into the cover, these are the errors that pop-up: [MP3Diags]

The first image is the "tag details" in MP3 Diags. [oldCoverDetails] The second image is the "tag details" but for the new cover art. [newCoverDetails] But still, as I said, the black screen remains.

I have an album cover that doesn't show up in VLC but other album covers do

The WMP also has a cache.
Or it relies on the (generated) folder.jpg file which could also be blank/black.
