Album art shows in slide show?

During playback of music in media center of vista, if I click play slide show to display a random slideshow of our pictures, it also shows the album art.

Is there a way to specify the directories to use for images that is different from the direcctories used for music?  Right now, it's just all 'media '.

Is there another workaround solution?

Hi Sullida,

Slideshow of Windows Media Center will include all the images he finds that appear in folders that Windows Media Center is "Watch".  If there is album art in a music folder, it will be part of the slide show.  You can take a look at what look at Windows Media Center records and move album art that you'll find in another location so that it will reveal is no longer in your slideshow.  We have provided steps below that will show you how to check which folders are monitored.

1. start Windows Media Center
2. go in tasks
3. then settings
4. Select Configure library
5. Select stop watching a folder
6. click Next

Do not actually disable a folder, but you can look through this list and see the witch files are monitored.  Leave it and close Windows Media Center.  You can now go to the folders in the list and either move or remove covers album or any other images that you do not want to be in the show.  Remove album art will have any impact on current music files playback.  Most of the music files should have the album art themselves are nested, it will still appear in Windows Media Center.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • The album art to music Apple AirPlay or Spotify is only shown for the first song

    When the music plays to Apple TV since iOS album art appears for the first song in an album or a playlist. After the next song, the album art shows a gray music note. It's intermittent, but it happens often. Seems to happen more consistently with Spotify, but also happens with Apple music.

    I've noticed that when my ATV 4 AirPlaying Slacker Radio. In my case, they are long unique jazz tracks, and the album cover cannot paste at the end of the track. Of course, lazy, don't return because it has already been sent. I guess the software decides she has had enough and deletes the image. You can try to post on the site of feedback to Apple, but I think it will be a low priority.

  • I need assistance, recovery of the album art for the songs on my I - pod.

    Hello. Recently, I upgraded my I - pod to a gig of 64 of a 8-concert and I had the same problem with both. On the songs that I have purchased from I-tunes, the album art shows always upward. However, when I put a CD in my drive and import songs in my music library, sometimes I'm able to get album artwork and sometimes I'm not. I thought it was just a problem with Apple and I talked with two people separate tech from Apple who had me try a few things and the second person I spoke with told me that Windows XP is not fully compatible with I-tunes. A tech told me to create a new folder in My Documents and try to import album like this artwork. She imported the images of the album covers that I chose, but he kept in the Photos section of my I - pod and not in my library of music I would like. Y at - it a patch that I can download or a setting I need to change to allow me to still get the album artwork for my I - pod?

    If you have the cover of the Album as a .bmp or .jpg file, you could 1. Right click on that, click on copy. 2, in the WMP library, on the Album corresponding icon, right click, click on paste album art. WMP then generates (reduced) as folder.jpg and AlbumartSmall versions. jpg in the folder containing the tracks.

    Thanks for your reply. I use my computer to listen to music, just my I - pod, so I don't have my music library stored in Windows Media Player. I have a few songs I've saved on here well before I had my I - pod and I played a few songs on WMP, but it did not show the album art, just a blue screen with a 8th note symbol. Now, this particular album I played songs of was never officially released (the Group has lost a lot of people to their label at the time) so I could download the album on their site and I even the album cover together as my wallpaper on my computer, but still the album artwok does not appear when I play music on WMP. You have solutions that we can try?

  • album art not showing after the addition of

    I downloaded an album by a local artist (legally) and the folder included a jpg of the album art. I hung out in the section of the work of window read the album information and he showed here, but it does not appear as the cover art in the list of albums, or when I return to read the information. I also chose to add an illustration to get information and selected the file, and again when he appeared in the correct place, but again, only temporarily. As soon as I closed Get Info, he disappeared. Any ideas on what's going on? I get the other album art very well. I am running iTunes 12.2.2.25 and OS 10.7.5. Thank you.

    If the album has more than a song, try to select all the songs from the album at the same time, and then do a get information on selection.  Go to the tab of the work in the window information from several element, and drag in the image file.  See if that makes a difference.

  • Album Art ceased to show Album mode only

    I discussed the digitization project of my collection of discs, tapes and music CD after learning how to acquire and preserve the sound I've been adding Album art. I was told that it was possible to get pictures on the Internet. Fake! 99.9% failure rate. I found a decent picture of hundreds of attempts. It seems that the identification code that is on each disk or tape is completely ignored, why?

    Not intimidated, I put my camera, my own photos and have been successfully installing them until a few weeks ago, when occurred two things.

    First Media player in Album mode ceased to display album art and simply lists all. Artist and Genre mode displays everything as usual.

    Second, when I tried to install a photo, I received a message saying that the album art could not be applied when the file has been used by another program, but I can't know what the "other program" is. I stopped and restarted my computer, checked my Clipboard Editor is ready with something appropriate to album art, started Media Player, said the file that requires the album art and again to get the message that the file is in use by another program.

    The only thing that's happened before this condition manifests itself, as far as I know, is a major upgrade to Windows 7.

    What should I do next?

  • iTunes is showing wrong album art

    Hi all

    I use Mac OS 10.11.3 with iTunes 12.3.2.35 and I have a problem with album art. When I change the album art for some tracks, I have everything first to remove the old and then paste it into the new. I noticed that, in some cases the old album art is visible in the playlist for example; and the new is not. When I check, there is only one piece of album art visible. the new one. Apparently the ancient art is stored somewhere beyond our reach? Boring! Any ideas?

    Best regards, Eduard of Holland

    From my experience, this happens when I can't seem to change the work on one or more of the songs on the album.

    In order to that you change all the tracks, first search by the name of the album.

  • How can I make the individual work for each song on a compilation album of show when I browse my playlists?

    I get a lot of my music from Soundcloud where individual songs are released by artists often with none of the albums.

    So, when you add these songs on iTunes I the name of the album for each of them SoundCloud despite the fact that each of them have different names track/artists/works of art.  When I select the option to indicate that the song is part of a compilation album, even if the individual work remains in each song and shows when I play the song, looking at my playlists, songs from my compilation album of SoundCloud will only show album art compilation rather than the individual works for each song.  How can I my iTunes will show that each individual work?

    You can't while retaining spacing as part of this same album. If you want each art individual to show then tracks them to a unique combination of the album title and album artist. If the tracks are underway on an older iPod then the tracks on the album must be unique.

  • Album cover showing is more about MP3 files

    Hi everyone I wonder if you can help me?

    For these last days, I noticed that the work embodied in my MP3 files have suddenly disappeared. To clarify what I mean I spent some time looking at the forums, is not the display of files the I do not speak of...
    I have a folder named 'Music' with about 50 MP3s inside. The folder view is set to medium/large icons, the default view of the music folder. Previously when opening the file, each MP3 file would show the work of Art/Album cover instead of the generic MP3 icon. Every song now has the MP3 in Windows icon at the generic address. The embedded work is usually added through the Id3v2 tags.
    What have I tried to solve the problem?
    (Lots!)
    -J' changed the "always show icons, never thumbnails" parameters God knows how many times.
    -Check that the artwork of the Album is always rooted in the MP3 file by opening Windows Media Player/Winamp - still work there.
    -Changed the Performance settings in the control panel.
    -Records of songs copied on my laptop, artwork embedded in the files will appear as normal.
    -System restored
    It seems that there is something register probably stop the windows that display the embedded work and is rather simply show generic music note icon!
    Its really important for me to be able to see the album art for the mixture of songs and Deejaying.
    I have Windows Vista.
    Any help really welcomed! I hope this makes sense?

  • Cannot manually add album art

    I just got a new computer and installed the latest version of iTunes for Windows. I added my music library without any problems and was pleased to see that album art has been updated automatically but on the few remaining albums who had not added automatically work I am unable to do it manually (click with the right button on album > info > work). Art seems to have been added but when I hit "ok" and return to iTunes there is no change, it still shows the grey double quaver.

    I've done several times before and had no problems.

    Thank you

  • The title of the album Art not centered

    I added to my TV series of album art in iTunes, but the work is the size of a (rectangular compared to the square) DVD cover and iTunes don't center-align the text of the title of TV Show in the middle of the work. A way to solve this problem?

    behavior of iTunes with rectangular drawing (portrait) changed several releases ago centered to left-aligned.  The only way to solve this problem is to use an image editor suitable to make the place of the image: cropping the image or the aspect ratio or adding spaces to the left and to the right.

  • How to add album art to imported CD on iTunes 12.3.3.17 NAS disk?

    How add us album artwork on a CD imported into iTunes 12.3.3.17 on a drive connected to my Airport Extreme?

    Get Info, Album artwork, shows in work, but once I click on "ok", nothing shows in my music library. Album art not available through «Get the cover»

    Help, please.

    Your iTunes media stored on a network volume should not make a difference.  If you ask about the order to download album art, which does not always work.  The album should be in the database online, accessing Apple to work of albums sold in the iTunes store.

    Otherwise, you can add your own album artwork.  For example, if the album cover appears somewhere on the Internet (like Amazon or another web site), you can often "drag out" the image of the Safari window on the desktop of your Mac (to download the image file).  In iTunes, select all of the songs from the album at once, right-click on the selection and information (to display the info of several element).  Go to tab work of the Info window.  Click Add artwork, OR drag the image file from the desktop to the Info window and drop it onto the square to the work area.

  • (another) album art probem

    Hi I'm new here and I'm sorry if this question was asked millions of times but I'm not looking and cannot always solve my problem

    the question is, I have connected my Fuze in MTP mode, used Media Monkey and WMP11 for importing files, but sometimes arts album show up, sometimes, they don't. Each file has built-in pouch and each folder a folder.jpg album or Album Art.jpg and inside .alb file. All images are 120 x 120 and less than 50 KB.

    Please help me, I'm tired of delete and synchronize everything again and again

    Thank you for reading

    1. Make sure all your tags are ID3v2.3 ISO-88559-1 (No UTF). The combo (ID3v1, ID3v2.3) tag is OK, but you don't want some that are v1 & some that are the v2.3. Media Monkey can be allright, but a dedicated like MP3TAG tagging program is specifically designed to do one thing; and do it correctly. Tag music files. And it's free.
    2. I would be suspicious to use Photoshop to 'Edit' or change album art images. It can record the result in a format (although it may still be .jpg) that the "rocket" has a reading problem (there are different versions of the .jpg format). There should be no need to modify or to try to improve these tiny images anyway. Whatever changes you make to an image is probably is not going to be visible in his poster the size on the screen of the rocket. The maximum size of any image of album art should be only around 200 x 200 (or even less). Something more great as it is will only be reduced to the displayed size, compaction (or compression) the image still further, which leads to less distinction and clarity (the opposite of what you want). Also if the image is too large, the "rocket" will not even appear at all. It's all just too big to handle.
    3. Choose a name for your art files and stick to it. I have all mine as 'album art.jpg. I have several players of e200 series and they all work for me. Then the "rocket" is out, and everyone now says the album art has to be labelled "folder.jpg". Is there a difference, and the "rocket" have a preference? I have no idea. I'm certainly not going through several hundred albums and add another file 'folder.jpg' for each album folder! I recently got a rocket did not have honestly a lot of time playing with it at the moment. I put some files on it and it seemed to view the files 'album art.jpg' very well. They can both work, but I wouldn't have a combination of both. I their name to one or the other and stick with it.
    4. Also I wouldn't "cover your bet" by having the two embedded album art and separate 'album art.jpg' file in each folder from the album. This could be the cause of confusion in the brain wee of the rocket, "only one I watch, this one or that? (unintentional ryhmes) Once again, one or the other. There is no need for both. Supposedly, with the latest version of Firmware, embedded album art support has been added for MP3 files, but in the last days, I read that this cannot be fixed 100% yet. So if you already have a file 'Add' art for all your records album in any case, you can remove the "embedded" art in the ID3tag. It's also something MP3TAG can do fo you.

    EDIT: I just took a look at the songs of the sample that came pre-installed on my Fuze. He has a record ALBUMS. The e200 series players this is different. This isn't the ALBUM folder I was alluding to in the discussion where the 'album art.jpg' file should be located. It is in the MUSIC/ARTIST/ALBUM folder alongside the music files themselves.

    This new ALBUMS folder is in the root directory alongside the MUSIC, PHOTO, VIDEO, & SERVICE records. This is a "hidden" file and it contains files .alb of all music that is loaded on the player.

    I also grew these music pre-installed in MP3TAG files. All were indeed the tag (ID3v1, ID3v2.3) combo and each of them had "built-in" album art

  • Album Art 100 KB

    This problem is fixed or can be circumvented somehow?

    I was watching my music folder and saw that mty album art size was different throughout my albums.

    I realized I had 20 KB, 124 KB, 50kbs and therefore everything.

    I understand that the size limit is a pain, so I ask if it is fixed by being rockboxed or official firmware fixed?

    Thank you. I want to purchase one of these little guys

    I just checked my rockboxed Zip, the art is 296ko and it shows.

  • Folders and album art

    I have 2 problems I've come to find answers to, but never understood:

    Organization of the file:

    1. after checking that all the tags are correct on every song I organize my music into folders according to the artist, on my computer and then drag and drop the folders on my rocket.  When I unplug the "rocket" and go to browse the files on the device, half of my artists are now located in what is called a "new folder" and the original artist folders do not exist.  When I browse the device on my computer, it seems that all records are correct.  My question is: why the "rocket" reorganize my music in new cases and how can I better organize them in the future?

    Art of the album:

    2. I've tried several times to put album art into each folder and name the folder.jpg work, but it seems to never work.  I also edited the tag image in WMP, but that does not work either.  Some songs have the album on the "rocket" art, but I never put it in the folder with the songs so I'm a bit confused why show album artwork, but others who are not.  Can someone tell me how / if they got the album art to work?

    Thanks a lot for any advice you may have!

    You are in MSC mode?  (settings/system settings/usb mode)

    If not, I would like to do 2 things - if you have tracks on your PC (I hope you do):

    1. format the drive using the option on the device (later to go back and make sure that you are in MSC mode, as this can by default return)

    2. after verification of your files are right and that each folder that contains music files has a folder.jpg (and I mean here the folder with the music-not no matter what parent of records.  If your files are artist\album with the music in the folder album make you think the folder.jpg in the album folder) drag and drop everything on the player.

    If you are in MSC mode, I'm not sure that your file number, but I found the cover of the album difficult to change until I did a format and reload (with correct art).  So, it might be useful to do the above anyway.
