When I add a second cover pic for Artist after adding a Front Cover pic, I am unable to get cover type to stick as _Artist_? Originally they showed up as _Other_, but now after l had labeled them as Artist, they show up as _Back Cover_. Today if I add cover type Artist, it shows up _Front Cover_.

> I dont now if it is a bug or not, but sometimes when i set an image as artist cover, it does not save: Add the image: [imagem] change the type: [imagem] Save or restart the mp3tag, it stays at front cover: [imagem]

FLAC files work as expected it is only the M4A files that have this issue I have found.

That is more or less that what the linked threads say.

Thanks. I missed the link. The behavior has changed I noticed today. I guess their are limitations with this filetype. MKA files are worse for tags.
