MP3 album art embedded but not showing in W.Explorer

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.

Is there any way to do the same with flac files?

bump?

 

[Gornot]

Search around the forum, there have been resolved topics on this matter.

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 http://www.sevenforums.com/media-ce...flac-metadata-so-visible-wmp.html#post1695828

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

Issue was with registry

The problem arises when your registry becomes corrupt or maybe some registry cleaner program deletes it thinking it's useless.
I copied this registry file from a friend's PC and imported it on mine. Magically, all MP3 files having album art (whether embedded or not) started showing thumbnails...
Issue Solved!!

Thanx a lot dude

absolutely the prob was with registry
ur registry solved problem now all mp3 files are showing album art in thumbnail...

 

[palicak]

the problem may lie with the program. After having some annoyances with Adobe, I changed quite a few things. The only tagged file that won't show thumbnails remains .mp3, all others work fine.
So maybe you only deleted a program generating the file tagged icon.
