Title:
  Album artwork not being displayed on mp3 files.

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using the Files app to view mp3 files that have embedded artwork,
  some files are displayed without the artwork, even though the
  Rhythmbox Music app will correctly display the artwork embedded in
  these files.

  The files in question have been transferred from a Macbook Pro where
  the artwork can be embedded using Apple's Music app. The embedded
  artwork correctly appears within Apple's music app on both the Macbook
  Pro and on an iPhone to which the music files can be downloaded. If
  the files are copied to a laptop running Ubuntu using Dropbox, the
  files' icons appear with their artwork in the Dropbox folder. However,
  if the files are copied or moved to a new folder within the Music
  folder in the Home folder, the artwork seems to disappear from some of
  the icons representing the files. Attempts have been made to delete
  the faulty files and re-copy them from the Dropbox folder but to no
  avail.

  After a bit of experimentation, I created a new folder in the Music
  folder and copied the folder containing the mp3 files into it. This
  time the artwork was retained on all files. Since I needed this new
  folder to contain more than one folder, I moved the other folder from
  its original destination to within the new folder and deleted the now
  empty original folder. This time, all the artwork was preserved so
  that I am none the wiser as to the cause of the bug. The only
  difference was that the new folder was named Franz Lehar whereas the
  original folder had the name Lehar with an accent over the a as
  originally named by iTunes Music app.
