I've not had to do this for a while and noticed mp3tag now operates differently than it used to.

I use Cover Art \> Discogs Artist + Album option to choose a new cover but now instead of overwriting the cover like it used to, I get options: 'Rename', 'Overwrite' and 'Cancel'.

'Overwrite' does not overwrite the embedded cover but I do get the new cover (folder.jpg) in the folder of the album.

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong.

Have you checked the options in the "Utils" button menu at the bottom of the WSS dialogue?  
There you can set what should happen to pictures.  
Also, you have to tick the check box next to the picture display in the dialogue.

I've not had to use the "Utils" button before.  
Thanks for your help.
