Icon Preview is not shown for mp3 files in finder

Hi. Recently I noticed icons of mp3 files are no longer as used to be in finder. Previously I had a dark music note icon and when i hover my mouse there was a play button. Now I only see itunes icon in mp3 files. "Show Icon Preview" option is enabled, and i can preview image and pdf files in finder. But something happened to the mp3 files. It is very annoying. Please guide me to get back the good old icon preview for mp3 files.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

please read the thread before posting Mark. You are not understanding the OP's and my issue. We are not concerned with the preview play/pause buttons. We are talking about album artwork now being displayed as iTunes symbol/mp3. If anyone has suggestions for that issue, feel free to add to the discussion. Also, Mark, someone else already posted about the 64x64. Please stop posting irrelevant information. Thank you.
