No more Album art in windows Media Player.

[Indybird]

I've got this little thing where i gotta have the album art for my music in windows media player. Up until now, windows media player downloads the cover and info and everyone is find. Now it only downloads the info. In fact, when I try to apply my own cover (from a file) it won't even do it. Like I said i gotta "thing" about this and its going to drive me crazy...

Thanks,
Indybird

Have you tried using Gracenote?

[Indybird]

Thanks for the reply, but I don't want to use gracenote, I want to get wmp album art working...

Try this utility, should fix it up. And it's free.

[Indybird]

Is there any way to fix it? I don't exactly want to replace it...

[jdbnsn]

Did you try the above utility? It claims to fix this problem.

Ya, and sorry I forgot to thank you, but you have to do it manually. You do a google-search in the program, find the album art, save it to your desktop, select the downloaded picture and it will assign it to the album. Thanks again, but I didn't like how it worked.

I'm having problems with WMP11 too. The other day it crashed and now there reckons there is no files in the library, even if I try adding them manually. It will play them ok and show up in the now playing tab, but no dice with the library.
I've even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, but it didn't help either.

Any suggestions?

Where are you guys storing your albums? I would attempt moving all of your albums to another location, uninstall, re-install, and load the library from the new location. It's a shot in the dark but it's worked for me before.

i accidentally deleted the cover art for one of my albums a couple weeks ago and a little googling found me seekacover dot com. just search for your album, right click the picture, copy, then right click where the album art should be in wmp and it should have a paste cover art option. hope this helps.
