So as I said earlier, add a new column but with the value « %_cover_type% » and click on the column to sort it by cover type. But when you search for a cover on Google Images and drag and drop it into mp3tag, it's automatically in "Front Cover" so that's cool. Most of these "other"-categorized covers were actually from legit downloads directly from the artists. But as a precautionary measure I replaced all of them anyway. I had a few which were "Other" and 80% of them would not have their cover displayed in Spotify. The problem is : your "cover type" should be "Front Cover" and nothing else. This is not about the file extension as in the previous paragraph but about the "category" of cover your cover is being labeled. So as a warning, personnally not all of my tracks in this category had the no-cover bug, which makes it very vicious. Click on this column to sort by it, and see at one end if you have anything other than JPEG, JPG or PNG.ģ ) Most vicious one: the "cover type" (as in mp3tag) has a HUGE influence on whether or not your cover is being diplayed. > Click New > give the name you want for the column > in "value" add « %_cover_mimetype% » then click ok. If you want to know which of your tracks have other than JPEG or PNG covers, go in mp3tag, right click on the top of the categories columns > Columns. I replaced them with JPEG or PNG ones and it was ok. I had a bunch of BMP covers and none would show up. But it's ok since you deleted all of them!Ģ ) Stick to JPEG, JPG, PNG covers. Problem solved.ġ.1 ) Underlying problem: If at least one file belonging to an album has an apostrophe in its filename, then the bug replicates to all of the album tracks, even if those don't have any apostrophe in their filenames. In mp3tag search for « ' » in the bottom search bar, and each time you see an apostrophe in the filename, just delete it or replace it with a dash. I've seen many people having this problem so maybe it's not new to you but it's a really annoying lifelong bug that you can take care of as follows: Here are my results.ġ ) Spotify doesn't like apostrophes. I started seeing patterns and as time flew I made conclusions and finally fixed all of the problems (or found some workarounds). I cycled through my local songs and when I found one with either no cover or the cover of the previous song, I checked upon it in mp3tag. So I spent a whole afternoon trying to figure out why the f*ck some songs ONLY did not want to have their cover displayed. So I've searched for anyone having the same problems that I have. I thought "wow, yet another shitty bug from this app haha, okay I swear next time I'll consider REALLY finding another alternative" (lol I've just arrived on Spotify and already thinking of getting the hell out of here). What was my surprise when I cycled through all my freshly imported local files, that some songs didn't show their cover? Some were gone and some would display the cover of whichever song was played before. I've used mp3tag to clean and check everything, and give a proper cover for each track (what a monstruous time-consuming task.) but now I'm done. Well most of it: I found 5k songs but didn't find 1,7k of them so I have to use them as local files. So I've been moving my whole local library to Spotify for the past month. You've been a huge help.About problems with covers of some songs not showing up in Spotify desktop (PC) Might be a huge pain to re-download the cover art online, but it'll do. all I did was remove the tag data in Mp3Tag and re-apply them all. I don't follow what you said, but I got it sorted out at the end. Then, mp3diags should not report missing apic frames any more. If this leads to undesired results, undo it.įinally, you can add the covers. Watch the display in the tag-column to see what happens if you delete/copy tags. Then insert the copied tag with the function of the files list context menu.įor those that have the V2.4 tag as active tag, it should be enough to delete the tag. Select the files that have the V2.3 tag as active tag,Ĭopy this tag with the function of the context menu: Copy tag.ĭelete all tags (probably you have to do it twice to get rid of the stack) It shows that you have 2 tag versions stacked on top of each other.Ĭheck the columns in the files list in MP3tag that you have a column that has the following value: So I got around mp3diags and discovered these details on the songs that don't have album art.
