Album cover won't show in Finder

Also, oddly I still do see the cover art for tags and audio files that were saved or created prior to 10.13. Any new saved audio file or new tag goes to the default icon in Finder. Weird. Must be something to do with the new Audio codecs or how audio files are processed or something I guess.

I’ve tried reinstalling High Sierra from recovery and that only temporarily fixes the problem. After a reboot the album art disappears again. This is maddening as I’ve organized thousands of songs over many years and now they all display as gray icons.

I’ve escalated this to Apple engineering via Apple support, but so far they have no answer.

In my case, I cannot even downgrade, because sierra is completely gone from the store. And I don't have any OS backup.

Funny enough, two days ago on the chat with a tech, he sends me apple tutorials to downgrade and the link to sierra or the installer to create a bootable USB none of them was working - the guy felt quite embarrassed.

btw, my case too, "was escalated to engineering" two days ago. Today a tech called and amazingly they always start as they know nothing, then one points them to read the f*** case comments, then they will start sharing bit by bit what they have found on the case.

Overall, a real shame; the release, the support, and the price one pays for the product.

Same here. I upgraded from macOS 10.12, not fresh install. All my mp3 and m4a shows album art in itunes, but when I go to finder, there is a generic icon. Very strange, this never happen before, I am using my macbook pro since Yosemite

Unfortunate, the same problem with flac format. Album Artwork does not show on Finder, same if the music file is flac format that I have.
The same problem with MacOS 10.13.1 Beta 2 17B35a Album Artwork does not show on Finder.

My problem with iTunes in High Sierra is not as serious but it is still annoying. When I add or change album artwork it doesn't show until after I restart iTunes. Hopefully this will be fixed too.

Also, the podcast pages are very clunky and hard to follow. The older system was simpler.

I don’t believe this is an iTunes issue.

However iTunes can be uninstalled on the Mac, it’s just a LOT more complex than the usual drag the icon to the trash bin (because macOS considers iTunes to be integral, I guess). However it can be done, and I have uninstalled it before while troubleshooting a problem on an earlier OS (Yosemite, I believe).

I believe that it is an iTunes issue!

Note:

I tried before to uninstall iTunes following a Sierra guide but didn't worked.
Than I try to reinstall (without uninstall) the iTunes downloading the dmg file in the iTunes site. And after install the iTunes, everything is working again.

I believe that some service (iTunes or other) not start with the macOS when you reboot your Macbook.

I'm having the same issues regarding the album cover won't show in finder. I've contacted tagr and that informed me it is a macOS High Sierra problem. In my case, it is not an iTunes issues. So Apple techs we wait on you

Yes, I agree that the symptom is on Finder, but is at least a little bit strange you reinstall iTunes and everything it's working again.
I believe that some service installed with iTunes is essencial to quicklook works on Finder. And after restart the machine, this service is not starting anymore.

For me, after reinstall the iTunes (without restart de machine), everything it's working (track cover and track infos).

Best,

After reading all comments, the only solution that works for now to get all you're artwork on you're file...

Copy and paste in "read the information" when you right-click on the file!

It's for sure the longest line but it's the only way to success for right now!

No! Apple has not solved the problem on the Finder, music files icons do not show on the finder.

I have installed MacOS 10.13.1 Beta 5 (17B46a) today. It's disappointing, after 5 beta, Apple has not solved the problem.
