Hi there, in my "Upcoming Tracks" list, for some reason the album art is not displayed for some songs. As you can see from the screenshot, the song that is playing at the top DOES have an album art, as can be seen at the bottom with the Track Information. However, for some songs, like the next one in the list by Teminite, it does display the album art. Does anyone one have any clue how this is possible?




EDIT:
Turns out I did not have write permission and the album arts were not getting updated properly. I changed the writing rights by removing read-only permission. It works, thanks!

Open the song in question using MusicBee's Tag Editor. Then go to the album tab and check if there is any artwork showing there.
If there isn't, that means the image you are seeing in the Track Details panel has been auto-retrieved due to missing artwork, but has not been permanently saved to the file.
These settings are customizable from Preferences > Tags (1)...or is it 2, I can't remember but one of the two.

TLDR: there isn't any artwork associated with or embedded to your playing track.

Mhmm @Mayibongwe indeed I see no album art when I open it in the Tag Editor. How can I make sure it does get saved and displayed in the upcoming tracks? I cannot find any setting

Sounds like you're mixing up this issue with your other thread about basicially the same problems (https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=41219.0).  Solve the whole default image display first then worry about what does/doesn't appear in lists, etc.
