How to Add Artwork to Tumblr Audio Posts

When you upload a song to Tumblr as an audio post, Tumblr can automatically extract the album artwork from the song and add it to the post. However, this feature is only present in some of the themes offered by Tumblr. If you are using an older or custom theme, the album artwork may not show up. In this case, you need to manually add a few lines of code to your blog template.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Tumblr account and click the title of your blog at the top of the dashboard.

2. Click "Customize appearance."

3. Click "Theme." Doing this opens a window containing the HTML code for your blog theme. If you have never modified the theme's HTML code before, click "Use custom HTML" to show the window.

4. Locate the following line in the code:
   {block:Audio}

5. Paste the following code immediately after that line:
   {block:AlbumArt}
   <img src="{AlbumArtURL}" />
   {/block:AlbumArt}

6. Click "Save and Close" to save your changes and return to your dashboard.
