I've got DFF and DSF files with cover art showing. Just added the cover art using MediaGo.
That's a bit of a relief, although MediaGo doesn't run on Mac. Is it showing cover art on WAV files for you?

I don't 't have any WAV files. Never saw the point in them tbh.
They sound better than FLAC/ALAC at 16/44. Slightly, but better.

But those files are expanded to full resolution before conversion, so there's no practical difference. Unless the uncompressing causes noise which affects the audio circuits. But I can't see how if could. Sounds like an imagined difference if you think about it.

Back to tagging files with cover art topic for a second. i am using Mp3tag for the PC to tag my files. In that application, every album I own shows that I have embedded the cover art in my music files. I then drag the files onto my WM-1Z, but the cover art only shows up on about 80% of my files. Here's the wierd thing. I then went back to the 20% of the files that didn't show the cover art and re-embeded the exact same cover art jpgs using Mp3tag on those files, recopied the files to the WM-1Z and some of the cover art appeared on the 1Z. I have no idea why repeating the process with the same files worked for some files.

Any thoughts on where I go from here as I still have about 15% of my files that show that they have embeded art in them on Mp3tag, but the cover art doesn't show up on the WM-1Z?

The missing cover art files are probably progressive jpg, these players only support baseline jpg

After hours of trying to get a cover displayed I quit.

Downloaded GIMP. Very simple. Open cover. Export cover. Save as .jpg. Disable save as progressive but it still don't work as no cover is showed on WM1a.
