I have ripped a number of CDs and the album art shows up nicely in JRiver Media Center on the machine that did the ripping. When I copied (using drag and drop between drives) the album folders to my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) SD card, the cover art for those albums are not displayed (as it is for my older albums). I have also tried subsequently dragging and dropping the album art itself into various folders without luck.

I have a number of players (for off-line listening) on my phone and none of them show the new cover art: Play Music, Music, and my preferred option (at least for now) Rocket Player.

In Media Center 22.0.32, it doesn’t appear as if album art is being embedded in the song file or included in the album folder.
In “Tools > Options > General >”, “Save cover art inside tags when possible” is not an option as suggested here:

Although I do see in “Tools > Options > File Location > Cover Art”, “Also store image in file’s tag” is checked.
 
Let me know if I missed documentation that addresses this issue of if you require any additional information.

I welcome any recommendations. Thank you.

Having the same issue (mc 21.0.90). Cover art isn't saved into the files anymore... This doesn't seem to work: “Also store image in file’s tag”.

Also, when re-saving a file, its inside cover is removed! So it gets worse with every library clean-up.

Was never an issue in years past, now covers don't sync outside MC.

Thanks for any advice.

It seems like I'm having this problem too with MC 22.  How does one verify that cover art is embedded in the file?

This seems to happen randomly to me.  Like 9 out of 10 tracks on an album will work and then one random one won't save it.  It will if I go back and do that one individually though.

Correct setting.

That sounds wrong, and buggish. What do you mean by re-save file? Steps to reproduce?

Select an audio track, open Tag Window, see what it says in the [Image File] tag. You should all do this to see what is going on.

The tag will have either a full path to the Cover Art image file, or just say "Inside File"

Are you ripping CDs using a separate program from MC? Someone was doing that recently and found the last file wasn't being updated with meta data or similar. We guessed that it was probably because the external program hadn't yet released the last file ripped. The length of the file made a difference. Closing the external program made a difference, as long as you waited a moment. Search for the thread.
