Well, if you had Windows XP, you could save the cover art in the album folder as "Folder.jpg", and it would appear on the folder icons in Windows Explorer.  The latest version of MJ will display this image.  AFAIK, it will not save them to that location yet.  You can also retrieve the images from the file properties.  Choose "get image...from the internet".  These will be saved in one folder that you specify in the preferences.  Once you have some images, then they should appear in the track info visualizations.

When I do this, I select Add, which take me to Cover Art directory, but I'm taken to Data dir, one dir higher.

Looked in the Registry, the path is correct to Cover Art.

Posted a question a week ago, but got no response.

Durgame,
I'm not sure but this works right in 372.  The directory is a sub-directory of data.

JimH,

I was using ver 80370, but just downloaded 80372.  There is no difference.

You are right, Cover Art is a subdir of Data.  However, if I set up Cover Art as the dir to look for cover art and click on Add, it should take me to that directory (Cover Art), rather than one higher.

As it is, it'a an additional click each time to get to the correct directory.
