How to Fix MP3 Album Art With Metadata
Metadata, simply put, is data about data. In MP3 files, metadata takes the form of tags within an MP3 file. For example, the artist, song and album information embedded in an MP3 file are all instances of metadata. Another tag that can exist within MP3 files is the album art tag. This is a digital image of the album cover of the MP3 file. You can use Windows Media Player on your computer to fix album art by changing the image file associated with your MP3 file.
