Music files, specifically MP3s, have the ability to embed certain information regarding the audio within themselves. This information, or meta data, can contain artist information, album information including the year, producer and genre, as well an image of the album cover. Modern operating systems include the ability to read some of this meta data without the need for a third-party application, and can display the album cover as the file’s icon instead of a generic music note (or associated application icon). In order for the system to display the album art, you must ensure the information is properly embedded in the file. Warnings Writer Bio
