AIFF artwork preview not showing in Finder anymore

Since updating to macOS Catalina 10.15.3 my .AIFF files do not show their artwork preview in Finder anymore.

As my whole music library relies mostly on .AIFF audio files this is very disturbing.


(My .MP3 files and .M4A audio files show their respective artwork in Finder just as before)


Does anybody know how to fix this and do others have the same behaviour?

Same problem here, only seems to be .AIFF and only seems to be in finder/preview/quick look.


Managed to get all artwork showing in Music (with great difficulty), the files must still be embedded with artwork, as they always have been.


Let me know if you come across a fix, I'll do the same.

Exactly as you say.


I reported the bug to apple on their support channel. I hope they fix it with their next macOS update.


For the album artworks not showing in the new Music app after updating to Catalina (migrated from iTunes) I had to delete and re-import 1/10th of my albums in the Music app in order to get their imbedded artwork to display correctly. All my music contains the artwork in it's ID3 tag.
