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 battling with Groove for the last few weeks and have had a similar issue with album art not displaying, or displaying old art even after wiping the tags and starting from fresh using mp3tag.

    The solution I found was to do the following, I'm assuming this is music that you're storing in OneDrive and appears in Groove under the filter "On OneDrive":

    1. Take a copy of the album folder from OneDrive to your local machine.
    2. In Groove, right click the album and delete it, make sure it deletes from the OneDrive folder and your local synced version.
    3. Update the tags in mp3tag to your liking. Personally I select all files and do a "Tag Cut" then "Tag Paste" to force a re-write of all of them.
    4. Copy the updated folder back into OneDrive.
    5. Wait for it to sync up again and for the new album to appear back in Groove.

    It's a bit of a pain but so far it seems to work for me.

    Thanks for the effort, but I don't store my music on OneDrive; I keep it on my sd card... But you're basically saying I should re-tag all my music? A bit overwhelming since I have 64 gb worth of songs!

    It couldn't hurt to try it with a couple of your albums and see how you get on.

    I feel your pain, I've got a couple hundred gigs worth of music, all ripped from CDs going back 20 years. They've all been on iTunes up to now but I hate that app on Windows so much I've decided to gradually move it all over to OneDrive and Groove.

    So far the method works but it's going to take some time :)

    Lol,I remember those pre-smartphone days when I had an iPod, and had to use iTunes; shitt*est program ever! It screwed up the tags in my entire music collection TWICE - I had to go through every song to fix it! This was actually the main reason I spurned the iPhone back in 2007...

    I'm not going through that exercise again; I'll stick with a player that works, until they get Groove to an acceptable level.
