MM3 Album Art Issues

gab · Post by **gab** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 10:20 am

I am having a problem with MM3 recognizing album art. I've used the AAT script to embed art from a file to the tag however MM3 will only show the link to the JPG file in the properties dialog box. I know the art has been embedded because I can see it using another program (MP3 Tag). Also, if within MM# I delete the link to the JPG file within the Properties dialog box then MM# will not recognize any art even though MP3 Tag clearly shows that it is there. For some reason, MM3 is not reading this tag. Not an issue if I tag a file for the first time. This is only happening if I embed art using AAT.

I am using the latest RC (although I have had this problem for the last couple of weeks) and having the problem with both MP3 and m4a files.

Is this a current issue that is being worked on? Is anyone else having this problem?

This is an issue for me too. Whenever I embed artwork in the properties of a track and click ok, when I go back to the properties there is no artwork in there. It does appear to be in the tags of the track, but it does not appear in MM.

Could you e-mail me a sample track that doesn't properly show embedded album art?

Trix - Since you are having the same problem, are you going to email Jiri a track?

Jiri - The problem I have is that the behavior is haphazard. Sometimes MM3 will display the track and sometimes it won't Also, the issue occurs with both tracks that have the art embedded or linked to a jpg file in the album folder.

@gab - you beat me to it!

Trix - Go ahead and send a file. I keep getting "mail router" errors on my email. I have lossless files and I guess they're too big to send.

Well I've just tried to replicate this again and it's working fine. I am on my work machine (Vista) though and I originally suffered this on my home machine (XP) so I'll try again tonight.

Do you know if there is a way to compress an m4a file so I can send it over my email. I've tried using 7zip but the compressed file is the same size as the original

Jiri - I have emailed the file using nohitter51's suggestion. Let me know if you have any questions.

Trix - Jiri and I have exchanged emails on the subject and he believes the tagging issue will be resolved in Alpha 2 of 3.0.3
