Groove does not display any Album or Artist Art

How do you get Groove to display Album Art? The App seems to have located my music folders just fine as they all seem to be there but not one piece of Album Art. Windows Media Player on the other hand has reloaded everything just fine.

    I've been using the excellent MP3Tag for many years to tweak the tag data and manage my music collection, ripped from my CDs using dbPoweramp. I use AAC (for portable player use) and FLAC exclusively (not MP3). When I tried Groove after updating to Windows 10 last week, it found all the files just fine, AAC and FLAC, but none of my album cover art is displayed by Groove. The album art is embedded in the tag data.

    The tag data is still there. iTunes (cough), Zune and the venerable WMP all still show the album art. MP3Tag and Squeezebox still show the cover artwork.

    Groove does seem to have a problem reading artwork from the tag data embedded in the file.

    Any further ideas?

    Any news on this issue?

    It would be nice if Microsoft acknowledged there's a problem at least, or preferably working on it?

    Groove Music does not display embedded album art in AAC and FLAC files.

    Even though the fantastic Zune software won't have access to the marketplace in a couple months, you can still use it to organize your music.    So come nov15th  i'll using a different service but still zune to manage my paid music collection.    I know it doesn't answer your question but thats an option.

    Groove interface is nice but this tag problem is a deal breaker.

    I'm using Winamp to play my MP3s. I'm feeling in the 90's.

    Funny how almost 20 years weren't enough for developers to make a better player.

    I liked Foobar too but the control buttons are too small. It must be really difficult to make a simple easy-to-use music player, but I have faith in humanity and in the future of Science and Technology!

    I installed Winamp again a few weeks ago to see it was as good as I remembered, and I was shocked at how fast it runs.

    We just need someone to write a Groove Pluginfor Winamp and we will be set ;)
