Album cover won't show in Finder

Album covers of mp3/aac files won't show in Finder after upgraded to macOS 10.13.

All of my 3 Macs have the same issue.

I believe it's not a special case but a system bug....or it's not?

Anyone experiencing the same problem?

It's so obvious, I don't know how could this happen...

And, yet I don't know how to report the issue besides the old feedback site, which I've reported several bugs and no one cares...

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

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,

I rebooted, reset Quicklook cache in terminal: qlmanage -r and restarted finder. Still no covers...

I noticed that after install iTunes, the service com.apple.MediaLibraryService is running.

When you reboot your MacBook this service is not started.

This is insane! Come on Tim Cook, fix the problem! I'm a loyal, long-term Mac user

Is there a way to manually activate the com.apple.MediaLibraryService as a work around?

Hi,

Not pertaining to the missing album art issue which i also seem to still have, how did you achieve the black menu bar and the spaced out list view in the second image. Thanks.

Just tried 10.13.2 beta 2. How can this still not be fixed? How the heck hard can this basic feature possibly be to fix? Then again it makes perfect sense.

Same problem here, no album art showing in finder. iTunes shows them perfectly. Running MacBook Pro (retina mid 2012)

Same problem here. No artwork. Very frustrating. I hope there's a fix very soon. I wish that I hadn't upgraded to High Sierra now.

Same here but c'mon guys, it's a minor bug!! How can it be so strong that it makes someone downgrading the OS??!! It will be fixed, for sure.

Ebatahla, usage varies from person to person. I happen to be a DJ that works with music files on a daily basis. It's definitely a big inconvenience for me.
