album artwork not showing on my music library

Thank you. It's beyond my level. It pulled one piece of artwork through and as far as I know the other file types are the same. I've lost some songs on music library. Non compatible file types. No wonder music libraries are dying. It takes patience. I've just spent four days loading artwork onto my 600 albums.

Think Sonos have had enough of me now. The last guy said they’re not trained to help me further. I think that’s probably because of the necessity for third party tools. The artwork was on Sonos on Windows...

For local music libraries on Sonos, album artwork must be in JPG, PNG, or GIF format, with an ideal resolution of 600x600 to 1024x1024 pixels.

If not embedded in the music files, the image file must be named folder.jpg or cover.jpg and placed within the specific album's folder.

Embedded album art will take precedence over folder level files.

I've loaded mp3tag and it's brilliant, tedious but brilliant. There are 17 out of nearly 600 albums that mp3tag can’t load (purchased, protected and normal AAC files). It's created its own folder for that so at least I can work on that later. The others are Dolby Atmos which my system doesn't recognise. Time for an upgrade, I think.

Thanks for your help, oh and if you now how to get round those few AAC files, do tell.

Cheers

.aac generally does not support metadata tagging (like .wav) which is probably why mp3tag will not load them.  Folder level artwork will be needed for these files or you could convert to another format or wrap in a tag supporting container like .m4a.

If you are looking at conversion I can recommend dBpoweramp which will also give you a file level metadata editor to use alongside mp3tag.

Thank you, I managed to complete the task. I'm missing around 900 songs. About 10% of my music library. It’s Dolby Atmos mostly and I'm fine with not being able to play those songs directly unless I upgrade to an Arc Ultra/ Era 300s. 
ive just bought a pair of Era 100s. 300s were too big for my room and couldn't bring myself to ditch the Playbar. I'm now a semi-streamer. Times are a changin'

 Most WAV files can be tagged.  When I find the rare WAV file that will not take the album art tag I convert it to FLAC.  That rare WAV file that will not take the album art tag will also NOT take the Album Artist take.  Most of my music files are WAV.

At the moment Ive managed to get all the artwork over. If I do a library update o Sonos I will sometimes lose them as they’ll suddenly split or go to a different file name. Thanks for the advice.
