Thumbnails for mp3 files

Hi

Does anyone know how Windows Vista Stores thumbnails for mp3 files. On
my Vista some mp3 files show the right album thumbnail but I can not
find the image file. Is this a shell extension?

Regards,
Lukas

I assumed it was kept as an ID3v2 tag within the file.

Re: Thumbnails for mp3 files

that image is a hidden file, you have to set windows to view hidden files in
order to see it

The Album Art images are stored directly within the MP3 files. At least they should be!
