Image 2: Not Labeled

[MegasXLR]

Hey guys,

I recently saw something that's bugging me. When some of my mp3 files get played in music bee their album cover in the right bottom side rotates with some other image. I know I can just disable the 'Enable Image Rotation' option by right clicking on the album art but now I'm wondering - do I have some embedded image inside those mp3 files or what's up? I use Taghycardia to bulk remove any embedded images and no image shows when I open the file in MP3Tag too. Is this some image downloaded by MusicBee or if it is indeed embedded in some strange way that the above mentioned programs can't see it, how can I remove it from the file?

Cheers

As a wild guess, you probably have other (hidden?) images inside your music folders that MusicBee is picking up.
So inspect the folders for these specific tracks to see if that's the case or not.
And as a 3rd confirmation, you can open the tag editor and go to the artwork tab to see if there are indeed no embedded images.

Edit:
Since I only work with embedded pictures for my music, I am not really familiar with how MB treats tracks which fetch album covers from folders. Does it consider those tracks to be without/missing artwork? If that's the case, then if you have MB set to auto-retrieve missing artwork for the playing track (preferences > tags 2), then it's possible that that's where the other album covers are coming from.

Weird. It turns out I did have things selected under Preferences/Tags(2). But if I disable everything, apply and save and restart MusicBee the old selections are still there. Also there are no hidden files in the folder as well as no embedded images as seen with MP3Tag program. None of the ticks such as 'save without prompt' are enabled under Tags(2) though. As long as it doesn't actually write those images to the file itself I'm ok with turning off image rotation. But it's weird.

Go into Tags (1)/artwork instead, and check to see all is set the way you wish, then hit the Edit List button and do the same thing there--and be sure to presss the Rescan Artwork button before you hit save.

Then Tools/Advanced/Reset Artwork Cache.

Restart MB.

I did edit that before, I've selected Embedded (can't be unselected) and Folder.jpg. 'copy to the same folder as the music file and name as: Cover.jpg' is selected and if I unselect it, when I restart MB it's still there. Didn't see a 'Rescan Artwork' button anywhere though. It's strange as only a few songs in the same folder as others have this 2nd image so I don't think it's a hidden file (also checked and there are none), but also no embedded image shows in the MP3 files (via MP3Tag or Taghycardia) which are affected (not all files in the same folder are affected).

Don't have that.

But I just noticed that another album/folder also has 2 images when I right click titled: Image 1: Album Cover & Image 2: Album Cover. Didn't notice before as they're the same image just twice.

You do.  Hit the "Edit List" button that's below the "Set which pictures are displayed" window in the image you posted.

Oh that was inside the submenu, my bad. Anyway after these steps it's the same. Second image is still there.
Just found this topic though.
And when I opened the MusicBee Album Artwork Manager from Tools/Artwork this showed up:

Now the question is why doesn't this embedded cover art show up neither in MP3Tag nor Taghycardia ? I use Taghycardia to remove embedded covers and they indeed get removed as I don't see them in Poweramp on my phone nor on my radio screen in the car. But now MusicBee's Artwork Manager shows them still being there embedded inside the MP3 file...
This site also says 'No existing album art / picture' for Existing Album Art.
