Hello,
Do you know why the some MP3 images are displayed by Windows 7 and not by MP3Tag ?
(sample attached).
Regards.

Use a program like irfanview to resize it.
Download here: [http://www.irfanview.com/](http://www.irfanview.com/)
Or use the Win7 Snipping Tool
But coming back to your original question.
I am running Win7 Ultimate x64 and I see the same picture's in Explorer as I am seeing in Mp3tag.
Capture 1 is from Explorer:
Capture 2 is from Mp3tag
Do the tags show in Win7 ?
Do you have a folder.jpg in the folders with the Music Files ?

Informed by your answer, I practiced some tests.
The problem isn't of MP3Tag software. In fact, the image isn't in MP3 file.
But Windows 7 shows that if it was.
In my directory there are other mp3 files, a folder.jpg, files AlbumArt\_xxx.jpg.
I copied all the files in another directory
'02 Superstar.mp3' image disappeared
Windows 7 display is very curious!

Ive noticed that also but it might be your mp3's files integrity that isint the best, so I run this little tool and it works a treat.
[MP3val](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3val/files/mp3val-bundle/MP3val%200.1.8%20with%20MP3val-frontend%200.1.1%20included/mp3val-0.1.8_with_frontend-0.1.1-bin-win32.zip/download)
BTW under preferences say 'Delete backup files'
