Bug Description

Using Amarok 1.4.7

Several mp3's in my music collection will have corrupted album art displayed in the OSD and Context menu. In a specific case, I have links to 2 screenshots of 2 different songs, both from the same album. The first song displays the album art correctly, but the second song shows a corrupted image:

http://www.dfreer.org/~dfreer/screenshots/amarok_glitch.png

Furthermore, when trying to change the album art for either song, to a randomly different album art, the art doesn't change at all. "Unset Cover" does not remove the art either.

The mp3's are stored on a samba share (mounted on my local hard drive), and I have read/write permissions to the share. All of the music is owned by my user, and have 644 permissions. All of my mp3's ID3 tags are edited using Easytag, with the cover art being stored in the album folder (cover.png, cover.jpg, or cover.bmp), and the art is added in the ID3 tag as well.

I have the same problem. It only seems to be with files that have the artwork embedded in the file.

I second the exact same problem, except all the music I add to my library, with embedded cover art (which happens to be every song), has corrupted cover art. Just like the one in amarok_glitch.png graphic.

Amarok 1.4.7 under GNOME

I confirm the same issue. In my case, it does not seem to be linked to the fact that there is an image embedded in the tags.
Deleting the images from the cache does not change anything. Thumbnails are re-generate corrupted.
