Edit 2: Not all MP3 with album cover are working and Oddly it works in XnView 1.97 too??? Now I'm confused.
Edit: I just figured out that the MP3 cover picture is shown in the preview / in view mode and not as file thumbnail in browser.
XnView 1.98 beta 1 changelog wrote:* Thumbnail for mp3
I assume this means the ID3 album cover picture embedded into MP3 audio files, but can't get it to work. There's no thumbnail checkbox for Audio files File List options.
The only way to get the MP3 thumbnails to show up is to disable "Recognize only by extension" which works "out-of-the-box" in previous XnView versions too. Is this how it's supposed to work?

To sum things up I don't see any difference to XnView 1.97 in the beta.

Changed: B3 works with 'recognize by extension' on (unlike b1).

Fixed. All my mp3 files now show thumbnails correctly.

Though, I think there's still room for improvement. Currently the thumbnail generation for MP3 files seem oddly slow when compared to the speed it takes to generate the thumbnails when 'recognize only by extension' is disabled, but it's a minor annoyance with thumbnail cache on.

It seems that XnView is combing through the whole MP3 file looking for start & end
signatures of a (JPEG or PNG) picture stream. During this process, the parsed data is dumped into the system's
%TEMP% folder. That's why we initially had “
empty temp files left behind when browsing”.
