Windows 10: How do I set album art for an mp3

I have already tried copying and pasting the image onto the album in windows media player, but then the image is much too low quality. Is there anything else I can try?

:)

I've just spent considerable time getting mp3 files to display artwork and other track details on my Mazda. Here is what I did:

1. Rip CDs in mp3 format in iTunes and import music folders / files obtained from other sources.
2. Consolidate the music library in iTunes which generates the folder structure Artist / Album / Tracks
3. Check for missing artwork. I did a Google search for album covers and saved artwork size c. 300x300 pixels then added the album art in iTunes.
4. Use Tagscanner to check/edit the track details, artist, album art etc
5. Use MP3Tag to check the tags are v2.3. Cut the tag then paste it back to set v2.3 if incorrect.
6. Use MP3Test to quickly check and test for mp3 file errors
7. Use MP3Diags to check and correct mp3 files in detail

What program are you using to create and play MP3 files?

How are you viewing your cover art in the mp3 file? A screenshot or two might help.

Example: I copied this mp3 file to my desktop: you can see the icon and the Preview pane both display it correctly.
