    After uploading the cover art, you must first make a change to any field BEFORE the Save Metadata button will appear. I would typically add a space to the Language field, then delete it. Now that VLC sees a change has been made, it will permanently update the cover art.
    My issue is that I have now moved into a Mac, and there is no right-click option. Even when 2-finger clicking on the trackpad, or using Ctrl+click, no cover art option appears. The VLC Wiki isn’t apparently helpful, and I cannot find any other forum w/a Mac resolution. Can anyone help?
    I pray that this is helpful to whomever is reading, and that someone is able to help in my dilemma. Thanks, and God bless!

      Thanks for the feedback.
      For Mac OS X, I will advice you download and install MetaBliss.
      It is an ID3 editor that has this feature. Thanks

    The cover art has been changed., but only for the currently played piece.
    At the next call, the picture is gone again.

    Hello,
    in VLC v. 3.06 Vetinaris I would like to change the fingerprint image.
    After right-clicking on the image, I select Cover Art from Add File.
    There is no “save metadata”, but “open”.
    The change of the picture is only temporary.
    How can I make the change permanent?
    greetings
    hajo

      After uploading the Cover art, Click on Close and thus the cover art has been changed. Thanks for this input.
