Album art not loading

Yesterday I ripped three new CDs to my library, as per usual.  Strangely, for one (only), the album art won’t load. Can’t for the life of me figure out why.  I’ve checked and double-checked the name of the jpeg and all other parameters.  Everything looks the same as for the 1,000 other CDs I’ve ripped and for which the cover art loads fine.  Is there a size limit on jpegs?  Are there character limits for art file names?  Any suggestions appreciated.

I’m using Foobar 2.24.3 previews, 32 bit, and Windows 10.

Thanks, N.

There is a size limit, configurable at Preferences -> Advanced -> Display -> Album art -> Maximum external art size.
It defaults to 64 megabytes these days, but it used to default to 8 MB.

Thanks, Case.  Not the size, then (image that won't load is less than .5 MB.

You could post the name of the cover file and your album art search pattern(s). Perhaps you have found a bug. But before you do that, have you verified that the art is valid and in the format its file extension claims it to be?
