Album art overviews (icon preview of CD cover embedded in mp3 idtag) are not displaying in every folder... weird

I've got a MacBook Air Mid 2011 operating under Mac OS X 10.7.2 (up to date).

Note : I'm not using Itunes and I don't want to.


First : Each of my mp3 files are embedding its CD cover (album art written in idtag).

So, in Finder (with "Icons view" or "Cover view"), I would like to see the album cover (as preview icon) instead of the default mp3 icon.


Could you please help me ?


I've got 3 folders :

A) /Users/Me/Music/

B) /Users/Me/Desktop/folder1/

C) /Users/Me/Desktop/folder2/folder3/


But, in the Finder (with Icons view or Cover Flow view) :

In case C, the album art displays. OK !!! 🙂

In case A or B, the cover picture does not display. NOT OK !!! 😟


Meanwhile, both A, B, C seem to be configured the same.
