Same problem for .mp4 and .m4v files
I am having this same problem for my .mp4 and .m4v files that have embedded cover art. Any advice?
Would anyone be willing to send me a .reg file to fix this? Thanks a ton!!!!

.mp4 is a container and, as far as I know, shouldn't really be used for audio streams only, you have m4a for that.
Secondly, m4v should be used for videos exclusively, and Explorer automatically generates a thumbnail from the video stream, so that's why you're having problems.
Yeah thanks for the confirmation. I had to change different search terms until I finally found what I was looking for.
If anyone would want to do the same thing, here's the answer How to get value into FLAC metadata so it is visible in WMP
I believe I might know the problem with windows not showing album art. I am running Vista, had the same problem, and just fixed it. It is easy.
Windows Explorer (in Vista) does not like ID3 v2.4 tags for album art. I went to MP3Tag program and changed the tag version. (Tools-Options-Tags-Mpeg: then select 'ID3v2.3 UTF16' -
Open any folders giving you problems, make the changes as above, select all files, hit save. All files are now v2.3, which Explorer likes - you should see your artwork.

v2.4 is a fairly new(ly accepted) concept of tags, and is indeed buggy. It may not always create problems such as these, but avoiding them and/or changing them to UNICODE v2.3 is certainly the way to go when tagging files.
Thanks for the heads up :)
there is a flac propety handler here that will allow flac thumbs in explorer
