> 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%\roaming\vlc\art" inside of which VLC will create subfolder names based on "ArtistName\AlbumName\art.jpg". (if the Album tag field of Mp3 is empty, then VLC will create a subfolder named "\_" under the ArtistName folder) So VLC will use that cached cover for all mp3 that has the same Ar…

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