I’ve got a very strange problem attempting to add a cover picture to a newly generated WAV file. Apologies in advance if I’m beating a dead horse here, but this used to work fine in the past. It’s been a while since I’ve tagged WAV’s, so perhaps something has changed the way this works with the cur…

Those players (probably) don’t use embedded images with wav files. There are also only a few other tags they may read, but certainly not all. Perhaps they are pulling these images from either the same or similar folder, or one higher up in the folder hierarchy? Or seeking an online source?

@MotleyG : Per your suggestion, I tried copying the original untagged WAV file and cover pic to a temporary folder and once again cover pic-tagged it. Following that, no pic is displayed in the players at all. Yet, when I load it back into mp3tag the correct pic still remains. I’d love to prevent m…

So: MP3tag is the only program that behaves as you expected? Could it be that the players cannot properly deal with wav files? Have you taken care of hidden files in the folders like cover.jpg or folder.jpg? All these look to me like player problem IMHO - wouldn'nt it then be best to ask the play…

The issue is, it’s not the right one. I’ve tried cache flushes on all of them, including searching for the files you’ve…

[image] CraigG58: I’d love to prevent mp3tag from looking at any online databases, to ensure the cover pic can only be sourced from my local hdisk. I know that “freedb” is enabled as a tag source by default, but “freedb (Local)” is grayed out so I can’t click it, nor use the hotkey combo Ctrl+L …
