No more Album art in windows Media Player.

[Indybird]

I can do that, but normally wmp automatically does that once it finds the info. Now it doesnt...

[AJ@PR]

Indy, can you roll back to a previous Windows Media Player?
Not the latest, but previous versions?

I'm betting it's a MS patch that screwed up your system/setup.

I'm trying to come up with useful answers, as I'm tempted to say "Switch to WinAmp", but, if you're set in WMP, then WMP it is.

This might sound stupid and/or I might have missed it on previous posts (I re-read), do your folders actually contain the album art image?
Or are they deleted into oblivion?

[Indybird]

The album are pictures aren't there (yes, I have system files visible) and never were, it just doesn't get them from their database. I hadn't installed anything special in between when it worked and didn't so it wasn't caused by me. If it was some MS update, then what should i do?

Thanks,
Indybird

Which version of WMP are you using?

[Indybird]

11

I think that is the problem more than anything else. Have you tried the above suggestions? The rollback to 9 is probably the best option at this point.

Does 9 even use album art? I mean when viewing the library? I thought 11 was the first to do that...

[jdbnsn]

No, but the idea is to back up your library, rollback to 9, re-install 11, and re-import your albums to see if it helps. Sometimes this works, sometimes not.

Actually i just realized something, I can't roll back, I have Vista. WMP 11 is all that comes with it... This is kinda starting to annoy me, maybe ill go make a post on MS forums as well. Thanks for the help so far...

I'm still having no luck getting stuff in my library even though I have moved all the music back to the c: drive and rolled back to WMP9, then back to WMP11.
