What version of Fre:ac....? Maybe update..
This might be of interest...

Quote:The CDDB/GnuDb database queried by fre:ac does not contain any album art. That's why ripped tracks don't contain album art unless you manually add it before ripping.
I have plans to add support for other databases at some point which may make automatic album art downloads possible.

Maybe run your ripped folders through Musicbrainz-Picard and see what art it can find and download.?

Another possibility having perused the fre:ac site is that due to a bug in versions before 1:1:5 the cover-art is downloaded (if at all) to a folder different from the ripped audio. This would explain why it shows on Windows PC but not MoOde.

It looks like the ripping utility you are using was not configured to add cover art??
Hi Tim and Kent and @DRONE7,
I did some research on the Fre:ac Forum and found, to quote Robert Kausch, that "CDs do not include album art and fre:ac does not have an integrated album art downloader, so it won't be able to add album art while ripping.
You could try Album Art Downloader XUI to add album art to your FLAC files after ripping."
... and also, "... No, EAC does not have an album art downloader."
So, I have downloaded Album Art Downloader and have used it to "Post Process" my Library to add the album Art which is now displaying nicely as shown below:

Album Art Downloader needs some configuration to make it run efficiently and I didn't find any User Instructions so resorted to "Suck it and see!". I can share what I learned if any other users need this.
