Windows 10: why do some music files not show the album art in the thumbnail

most of my music files FLAC and MP3 show the album art in the thumb nail in File Explorer. I have a few music files that don't show the album art. Not sure why

:)

 

No audio file thumbnails are showing/album art or whatever that calls is not showing

No audio file thumbnails are showing/album art or whatever that calls.in previous windows version there was album art or a certain pic which was embed on that file showing on any mp3 file but now it's just showing mp3 as a thumbnail

N97 Album Art.

I think WMP stores the album art in the folder with the music files but does not embed the album art in the actual file. iTunes does something similar but stores the album art in a database instead of in a flat file structure.



Just to make it clear, the problem is that the album art is not embedded in the music files.



There are several things that you can do:

• Load the album art onto the phone as images and link these to each album (not ideal as it requires quite a bit of work and the images need to remain on the phone and in the same location)
• Google "embed album art mp3" and download an application that can embed the album art.
• Import your music into iTunes, add the album art, and the convert to AAC (iTunes Plus) format which embeds the album art.

Hope this helps!
