Summary	0006786: iTunes MP3 Tags For Album Art APIC Frame
Description	It looks that in Windows 7 Some MP3 Files created/tagged by iTunes shows Album Art Icon Instead of Associated File Type icon. MM reads both tags and files but it would be nice if we can figure out what iTunes doing to files so that we can replicate and use it for all files that support such approach and see if that will ensure that iPods see correct Album art for the files along with speed test for reading thumbnails in Album Art view. Useful Links: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/ID3.html Example files are uploaded to FTP Steps to replicate: Copy example files onto Windows Desktop and refresh desktop so that after refresh instead of default File type icon Windows Show embed Album art as icon.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build

peke 2010-12-02 03:37 developer ~0021545	Can you triage this and set correct priority, Rusty already confirmed described behavior after talk over IM. NOTE: Using this approach no folder.jpg is neded to show album art for file in Windows Explorer (Desktop)

jiri 2010-12-02 14:10 administrator ~0021551	There doesn't seem anything to be done, Win 7 simply seems to show album art as stored in tag.

rusty 2010-12-02 16:08 administrator ~0021554	What Peke is trying to say is that this works with files tagged by iTunes, but not with files tagged with MM. See attached image (the file on the left was tagged by MM, the file on the right with iTunes).

jiri 2010-12-02 22:38 administrator ~0021571	That's exactly what I tried - for example a newly converted mp3 track (by MM) with 300x300 embedded jpeg image shows correctly on my Win 7 Desktop. Peke, can you confirm that it doesn't work for you? Maybe there is some problem with the embedded image in your case, something like too high resolution, or possibly not a jpeg?

peke 2011-05-10 22:38 developer ~0025054	Can't replicate in 1371

peke 2011-07-19 23:39 developer ~0026921	All Info Corrected. Closing
