Sorry for the delay. We have been swamped.
Have you tried dragging/dropping the artwork directly into the Album Artwork window in the lower left corner of SSL?

no, but that is too much work because i have all my flac files tagged with artist, album and cover art (do it correctly with tag&rename)
the normal would be serato read it perfectly (as read the others tags), but no, serato dont show any flac cover
an this is not new, is from many time ago

Ok, I tried that but neither work, with aiff show covers perfectly but with flac no, nor none way.
I'm a really disappointed because I had been waiting serato can read flacs and now serato can do it but cannot take of all its benefits of this format, as the covers
sad :(

Thanks, I think this is not my problem only, if you read the forum can found more people with this problem since serato began accepting flac files
But look as if developers do not read too much the forum, the covers in flac is an old bug, from the first version of serato accepting flac
Sorry my bad english

Hi vhs,
This as far a I know actually hasn't been implemented yet. I'm not sure why, but its definitley not a new issue - serato.com
I've tested your file too, thank you for uploading it.
If I hear on album artwork being included i'll be sure to post about it. Unfortunately I have no information on that for now.
Regards
Matt P
