Originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762815 Binary package hint: banshee Banshee does not show album art. My music library has its album art stored in ID3 tags, upon importing my library to Banshee it did not show any album art. I tried setting the album art again using track editor ans selecting 'Choose New Album Art' option, but still I dont see anything. I just see default icons in the lower left cover art area, the track editor and the album grid. I tried reinstalling banshee from ppa:/banshee-team/banshee-unstable still nothing.

Easily confirmable: if you have an album art and missing "Album" tag (null or Unknown Album) Banshee won't show it. Try to set "Album" tag to wathever you want(Unknown Album1, for example) and see the magic.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
