I have been struggling with an annoying bug for some time now: the cover art is not always displayed. Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not. I use APE files with embedded images of 20-100k in size. It seems to occur mostly with longer titles (almost all the classic stuff) and titles that are saved on a second HDD (as opposed to the one where the os is on). It also seems to happen more often when the drive is heavily fragmented.
As APE files are rather big and apparently the tagging information is at the end of the file, could it be that MC doesn't take enough time to read the cover art information correctly? But then again, all the track information is displayed properly just the image is often missing.
This has been a very annoying bug for some time now and it would be great to see it fixed.
