I have tried removing album covers individually and by selecting more than one file. Even though mp3tag (v3.04a) reports that the album cover has been removed and displays no cover, I find that VLC media player (64 bit, v3.0.11) still finds and will display "deleted" album covers. I also sometimes …

[image] igor0415: 1- I have found that the hidden jpg (sometimes jpeg) files though small individually, can number to as many as twice the number of mp3 files, taking up lots of space. This happens if you have different embedded covers in the files that reside in one folder. [image] igor0…

see here: [image] Wrong Cover displays in VLC player Support hi Mike, Your suggestion is even better, as it gives an unique Album name for mp3 that has no Album name! EXPLANATION: This issue is due to the fact that new versions of VLC Player "cache" covers in "%appdata%…

I have already cleared my %appdata%\roaming\vlc\art cache but, the problem persists. Please read my bug report again. . . Carefully, this time. You will see that you've gotten it exactly backwards. Mp3tag does NOT show the deleted cover art however, other programs (like vlc) DO. Even if I disconne…

Then let me rephrase it as long as MP3tag shows the cover the way that you treated it in MP3tag (add it, edit it, remove it) but other programs do not show the expected result, then I would look at the other programs and their features. Also, it could be worthwhile to check the files for integrity…

You can also send me one of the files via private message or email, if you think the file has cover art and Mp3tag did not remove it.

Make sure you save the files after you remove the artwork, use Ctrl-S or the save icon right after you remove the covers. Otherwise mp3tag assumes you don't want to confirm.

Thanks for the example file. I've analyzed it thoroughly (also by looking with a hex editor) and did not find any cover in the file. I'd really like to find the root cause of the orphaned covers still being displayed on your system. In your email, you've mentioned that Windows was displaying one of…

Thanks for your quick responses to my inquiries, sorry it's been so long for this reply. Over the past year, I've been able to put in time here and there, exploring some things regarding the extra "phantom" information being displayed. 1- I have found that the hidden jpg (sometimes jpeg) files tho…

Oops! Here's a jpg of the files I refer to. [Delete These]

I had a host of annoying anomalies with album covers until I removed them from the tracks' folders and put them all in 1 separate folder. I used the album name and added the resolution at the end if I need to refer back.

Removed or updated Album Covers are still displayed in VLC and Windows

as long as MP3tag shows the cover that you embedded but other programs don't I do not see an MP3tag bug.
