  1. Unable to add Album art to some mp3 files


    I am able to add Album cover art to most mp3 files using either Windows Media Player or the MP3TAG application. However all files in some folders just refuse to display the art. I test this by viewing large, medium, and small icons using file explorer. It has nothing to do with the JPG file I use because I can add a file that displays properly in other MP3 files using MP3TAG, and it won't show up using File Explorer. I've also noticed that the proper cover art shows up in the folder's directory. The good and the bad directories seem to have the same properties. I'm running Windows 10

    :)

    MP3 Album art work changing

    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?

    MP3 Album art work changing

    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.
