Thumbnail Preview for Audio Files alone not appearing in Finder

Question

Thumbnail Preview for Audio Files alone not appearing in Finder

The File Icon Preview used to show the Album Art of the Audio File, but right now all I'm getting is a blank default icon. How to fix this? The album art appears just fine in iTunes and others, just in Finder I'm seeing this. and Just with Audio Files. All other image, etc. thumbnail preview appear just fine.

I have tried restarting the system, removing the .plist file and relaunching. Haven't worked.

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12), 16GB RAM, Intel 4000 Graphics

Hey, Thanks for the response! I have tried toggling on and off, but still I’m not able to see the album art of ‘every audio file’. All other file types work just okay. Only Audio files. What should I do?

try toggling the option:

icon thumbnail generation of folder contents:

Open any Finder window, and pull down the “View” menu, choosing “View Options”
Check the box next to “Show icon preview”, then to apply this to change to all folders click the “Use as Defaults” button
