Desktop Environments Cinnamon

I just noticed that thumbnails for .mp3 files (flac as well) are not showing in Nemo. I have ffmpegthumbnailer and ffmpegthumbnailer-mp3 installed.

You might need totem installed.

File managers like Nautilus, Caja, and Nemo can show MP3 embedded artwork ONLY if the Totem package (or Mint’s Xplayer - which is basically Totem without the gnome nonsense, it’s available in the AUR) is installed. Those file managers will then generate a thumbnail of the embedded artwork in the mp3/music file if and only if Totem or Xplayer are installed

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1690639#p1690639

PS. Also ensure that the music files have the album art embedded. Many times, I’ve had album downloads where the album art was bundled as a separate file (folder.jpg in your screenshot), but the actual audio files didn’t have embedded album art.

You can check this using

ffmpegthumbnailer -i "01 - Tom Violence.mp3" -o cover.jpg

If this gives you an image in this folder, means the MP3 does have embedded image. Otherwise, it errors saying video stream not found.

I do have Xplayer installed. I’ll try Totem as well.

Album art is definitely embedded.
