You don't give a single detail for people to help you. What file format are your rips, do they actually have covers, are the covers stored in tags or in external files, if external files what kind of names and file format do you use...

It depends on where the album cover art is stored.  Some players can read EMBEDDED album art from tags inside the MP3, while others need a folder.jpg art picture in the album folder that gets read.  I speculate, as am using FOOBAR2000 and MUSICBEE and ITUNES which all display album art differently depending on the source. 

Anyone understand this differently?

Thanks Sacduser!  Used that video to explain how to change/improve the settings on my FOOBAR2000.
