Problem loading Artwork in Windows Media Player 12

Hi... I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit) Home Premium. I'm having a problem with album artwork showing in Library View and in the full window of Windows Media Player 12. I have WMP Plus and WMPCD Text as plug-ins.
At Organize>Manage Libraries>Music I've added a folder containing MP3 files. I simply want to add the appropriate album cover to each different track. I have these covers in another folder in My Documents. With the previous version WMP 11, this proved easy. However, with WMP12...
Here's the problem:
In Library View, I click on eg 'Track 1' name>Tag Editor Plus>Pictures tab etc>Add>appropriate cover from folder as above>Apply
The artwork now shows in both Library View & when I play the 'Track 1'. So far, so good.
However, when I do the same with 'Track 2' and click 'Apply' the artwork from 'Track 1' shows beside 'Track 2', with BOTH tracks now showing the SAME artwork!
When I play 'Track 2' in 'Library View', 'Track 1's cover shows at the left and the correct cover shows top right!
When I play 'Track 2' in full window, Track 1's cover shows!
Clearly, Track 2's info is somehow not being carried over.
I've a lot of MP3 files I want to treat with their separate covers and I can't proceed till I get this sorted out.
I've even tried a rebuild of WMP 12 to see if that helped, but no...same result.
Can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong?
Many thanks

I have never tried doing this in WMP, but I have successfully applied separate artwork to separate tracks using the free MP3 Tag Editor

Hi difarn... Thanks for taking time to reply. Well...least I now know it's an issue with WMP12 and that I'm not the only one who has this problem! I'll have a go at one or two suggestions and report back, good or bad...

Hi Quizman...I actually used MP3Tag to do that (excellent free software!) When I played 'Track 1' from within MP3Tag and WMP12 opened (by default), everything was fine. However when I did the same with Track 2...well...read main post!...grrr! Thanks nevertheless for your input...any other suggestion would be welcome!
