Problems editing Media Info: specifically Art Work

Postby Steamywee » 09 Dec 2024 18:36

OK just downloaded and saved two tracks.
1st "Vincent".
Filled out the Media Info, General Tab details and added album artwork from my PC.
Fine all works well.
2nd, "American Pie".
Again filled out the Media Info, General Tab details and added Album artwork from my PC.
This time although the Artwork shows up in the Explorer window (Windows 10 Pro), clicking on it opens the track but displays the artwork for "Vincent"!
I've tried replacing the artwork, I've tried moving the complete file to my desktop totally away from the other music tracks and again editing the Media Info and changing the art work back to the correct jpg.
I've even totally deleted American Pie from my machine and re downloaded it and started again with the Media Info but despite the end result showing the correct Artwork thumbnail, VLC insists on showing the artwork for "Vincent" when playing "American Pie".
What is wrong!??
The constant repetition of the tracks whilst trying to get this right is dampening my enthusiasm for both! :roll:

Hello there,

Is the issue still occuring on your thumbnails?


You can reply to this topic by providing your media files (https://wetransfer.com/ is great to upload your medias) and also please confirm your Operating System and which version of VLC you use! Can you also specify how you did edit the thumbnail? Did you do it on VLC or on another software?

Cheers.
