Why Apple Music does not show album cover although it is clearly inside the MP3 file?

I have some albums, where the Apple Music app does not show album covers although they are embedded in the audio files. I even have a ridiculous example (attached screenshot) where the album cover is shown in one place and is not shown in another.

Does anyone know how can I fix this? Thank you!

Apple Music on Windows 11 does not load covers for albums in Library. For some reason Apple Music does not load album covers for albums in my Library. I tried resetting app settings, reinstalling - nothing helped. I if go to "Listen now" or "Browse" covers for all other albums show up fine except for ones that are currently in my Library. Sorry, can't attach images - for some reason site thinks images contain forbidden content.

Playlist album art change is TERRIBLE This has been noted on both the Music iOS app and the iTunes Mac/Windows app and this is a terrible change. I like to add a full album to a playlist so I have it easily accessible. Before today, anytime I add a playlist, it automatically displays the album cover. Now it is showing a generic blurred image with the artist and album name overlayed, even though only one album and one album cover is present. It looks like this: There is no reason for this and as far as I can see, there is no way to change it without manually selecting an album cover image from my computer hard drive. Even more frustrating is that when I initially add the album to a playlist, it does initially show the proper album art, but if I switch to another playlist and then switch back, it is replaced with this blurred image. There is no excuse for this change. It is a terrible update and it needs to be changed, now. I might fully switch over to Spotify due to this change. Change this update now.

Album tracks in Store are not appearing in the table When opening the iTunes Store on the Apple Music app on windows (10/11) and clicking on an album, the tracks are supposed to be rendered in the table but that is not happening. I am expecting to see a list of songs under an album.

I am not sure what you mean. Album covers are always embedded in MP3 files. The mp3 files are in a folder, not in a ZIP-archive.

My idea is that the Album Cover is attached to the .mp3 files, but not on the .zip where the files are contained.

Did that help your problem?
