Summary	0021161: Artwork can fail to show in Filelisting if there are files without Artwork on the Album
Description	There are times that Artwork doesn't show in the Filelisting (checked List (by Album). In this case all files being shown in the Filelisting (Playing node) had the same Artwork associated, but there were some files on the same Album not listed that were missing Artwork. Once viewing the Album (which did auto-Artwork lookup) the Playing node did show Artwork (with unsaved save icon). A) The expectation would be that MediaMonkey keeps checking files on the Album until it encounters a file with Artwork and caches this for display. B) Some will argue that MediaMonkey should only check the files listed for Artwork.
Steps To Reproduce	1 Display in List (by Album) 2 Have an Album where some files have Artworks, but others don't 3 List some files on the Album (with Artwork) --> No Artwork is shown (note this may not always happen as the file MediaMonkey uses to get Artwork may have it).
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build

So if the first track has no artwork then the issue happens.. As for the solutions.. If there is mix of tracks having and not having artwork or having various artworks assigned then it is a track from 'Files to edit' --> 'Inconsistent Artwork' node i.e. 'Artwork is not same accross tracks on the album' Solution A) is feasible, but it degrades performance (unless we introduce some new DB indexes), therefore I would rather implement it in the next beta cycle...
