      Running Strawberry 1.2.13 under Kubuntu.
      Some albums refuse to display the embedded album art.
      Other media players, such as VLC, correctly display the artwork.

      How do I fix this in Strawberry?

      Thanks.

        @rik I ended up using Claude to delete all the publisher art and waveform images that beatport adds ("a brightly colored fish" is the art tag for those for some reason).

        It would be nice if Strawberry defaulted to Cover Art Front though

          @Sharky-PI ,
          I'm not sure what you are referring to.
          As you can see in the relevant Strawberry settings dialog:
          strawberry_album_cover_settings_20251021_123916.png

          I've turned off everything except displaying the embedded album art. In this case, Strawberry displays nothing rather than the embedded album cover.
          If these setting are left at their defaults, Strawberry ignores the embedded album art and instead searches the internet for a cover. This will often times end up with Strawberry displaying wildly inaccurate imagry.

          As mentioned previously, other media players, such as VLC, my Sony MP3 player, etc. have no such problems and will happily correctly display the embeded album cover.

          How do I get Strawberry to simply display the image embedded in the MP3 file as the album artwork?

            @rik Oh interesting. That definitely looks like it should display. Sorry mate, not sure then 😞

              It works when testing here,
              Can you send me a file that doesn't work in strawberry and I can check?
