![]() My solution worked perfectly, and now you have more information about how to prevent it from happening in the future instead of someone just repeating the mantra that it was a player problem, which it was not. I couldn't find it so I deleted the folder. So I would save that picture to the file system first with an action of the type 'Export cover to file' and a. A word of warning: it is usually rather hard to find a good picture. The previous suggestion by didn't work because the file wasn't there. Select the file (s) Right-click on the cover-display in the tag panel and select 'Remove cover'. You can keep telling yourself that it was a player problem but the problem was obviously created by Windows. I had to go to Folder Options (you can type it in the Search box in Win10) and uncheck Hide Protected Operating System Files as well.Īlso in Folder Options, you can check "Always show icons, never thumbnails" to stop Windows from associating images with folders.įor the record, VLC Player creates copies of the files and stores them with the name art.jpg or art.png. I got a new computer about a year ago and I probably copied the whole folder.Ĭhecking the Show Hidden Items box in Explorer didn't work for me. That's probably what happened to me as well. One person wrote that he copied a folder from an older WinOS onto Win10 and then he was not able to remove the folder image. These are stored in some format on first play, then accessed by the player for anything on the same artist and album combination moving forward. The VLC image cache is likely used to speed up access for the player. That file is usually in the same folder but it doesn't have to be. It seems that VLC is often the player that exhibits this issue with cover art for many. It was not a player problem or a MP3Tag problem and my solution worked when nothing else did, so I think that it was a valid solution.īy default Windows uses the name folder.jpg. ![]() you could filter for files that have a cover withĪnd then see if any files pop up where you did not expect a cover.Īlso, it may help if you showed us the extended tags dialogue of a single file that is displayed with the incorrect cover. The strange thing is that I see the correct cover art with those few albums within Windows10 and MP3Tag, but NOT in my smartphone. And Mp3tag will help you to get the data right.Į.g. In this case, even if I try removing the old cover first, the new one is not displayed.Ĭould you search for some more if they don't help?Īnd hoenstly: it is a player problem as the only program that shows what you expect is MP3tag. I also sometimes want to change album covers but, mp3tag will not change my mp3 file to the new album cover. 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 have tried removing album covers individually and by selecting more than one file. Removed or updated Album Covers are still displayed in VLC and Windows Support
