Yes...did a reinstall today on the new Mac mini..it worked with icon previews for a few hours...then after a reboot...they disappeared...

And I appreciate it...very much...just making me nuts. I think I have to wait for another operating system update or two. I’m not going to update my iMac until I can figure this out...that’s my main machine. I also have another Mac mini coming tomorrow...it’s running Sierra...going to test the files on that machine...then update it and see what happens...that’s a newer model, about a year old and doesn't have a ssd in it yet...that will give me a chance to install High Sierra hfs+j and take that variable out of the equation...then I’ll put an ssd in that machine and see if that changes the result.

And...when I ask dbpoweramp to show/edit the tags...the artwork is there!

DBpoweramp...I'm a music junkie...and a computer guy...I promise they are embedded. I'm the one who tags everything for the entire family and extended friends group...because no one gets it...almost 5000 albums at this point...I've been collecting and ripping for years... I've installed hundreds of operating systems and been Mac exclusive for the past five years...repair Macs...build hacks...I really do get it...that's why this makes no sense... Not trying to be a jerk...just explaining... I have three machines running high Sierra...a mini with Nvidia chipset, a mini with intel chipset, and a MacBook Pro retina...they all do the same thing. iTunes and Amarra see the artwork no problem...but finder doesn't see it. Checked all the view options...actually re-ripped some music today to make sure. I even loaded dbpoweramp on one of the machines and added the artwork to the tracks again...and still nothing. It also won't see the artwork on my HDTracks Downloads... Two of the machines were Sierra upgrades...one was a fresh install...only common thing is they all have sad's and are running apfs. And my iMac hack...running Sierra...hfs+J works perfectly...I can even use it to look at the drives on the other computers through the network...and the embedded artwork displays... Just bizarre

Thanks for the response and screenshot...I'm sure. I never even tried the beta...just downloaded it. Tried a variety of MP3’s and aiff's...also multiple machines. Checked view options... no idea...too many machines...Jpg's are working properly...just not music files... and on on so many different machines with different hardware...something wrong...

Although they all are running ssd's as their primary drive...apfs...

I just completed a clean install to a third machine and icon previews are missing there too... programs work fine...but looking directly at the files...the images are not displayed...but...they are still embedded. When I view the files on my Sierra machine...even across the network...the icon previews are fine... very strange...three different computers...different models...some updates and some clean installs...and none can give icon previews...even tried leaving some external drives nfs, some apfs...no difference... but my Sierra machine sees, displays and shows them perfectly...

Have you noticed that the icon previews are missing in High Sierra??? Itunes and Amarra show artwork fine but when I look at MP3 or AIF files in finder...the artwork preview is missing???

Love dBpoweramp...is incredibly flexible when you learn the ins and outs...love the multi converter...and love the tag editor under ‘right click, services’. I’ve converted well over 50,000 tracks with it and have always been impressed...

I converted a spinning drive on a non essential Mac I use...so far so good but I’m going to give it time. It is available in disk utility now...I think from the edit menu up top...

No...I don’t use time machine on that Mac...and haven’t converted the machine where I do use it to High Sierra yet...still testing it out...

My back up drive didn't convert either (I use CCC). I deleted the existing back up...erased the partition and converted to apfs and restarted the back up...all is well and it’s apfs now...

I’ve had some buggy problems with Pure Music...might just be me. I like audirvana...but I’m an Amarra 4 user now...I hate the interface, I know they think it’s great...but iTunes as an interface is more intuitive and flexible...isn’t that scary! Basic things like genre organization aren't on A4. Also, I can’t just type and be taken to an artist or song or album within a window...I have to use a separate search window. Either way they got me...I love the way it sounds!

I’m still on El Capitan...Sierra always gave me issues. Been running High Sierra on my non–music server Mac and love it...it’s been working great... My question for you is...how does it sound???

I don't know but Q4 is almost done...looks like they're taking a page from Apple's book...and missing the holidays... I emailed them last week and never heard back...
