• 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.

• 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 of poor quality in music 9.0.1.A.0.1

  On my Sony Xperia M2, some album arts are a very low quality displayed in full screen in music. Fortunately, most of them have been fixed by downloading the album art in the music app is unfortunately not find some albums and some of the arts are downloaded by the music are a low quality.
  If I mark the file (are all my MP3 files) and add a cover to the music still displays low-resolution track. This happens with 500 x 500 and even 1000 x 1000. And Yes, I deleted the previous coverage through the music and then it displays a new.
  If I choose a photo that I have saved on my phone and add it to the file .mp3 through music, he is always displayed in low resolution.

  In fact I don't use Media Go to copy my files .mp3 on my SD card, but instead I copy using Windows Explorer with a SD card adapter.

  Does anyone know how to get the music to show the album art in high quality?

  Or the art of the album needs to be in a specific resolution if I tag my music files, so that they display correctly?

  The version of the music I use is 9.0.1.A.0.1.

  I hope that my problem can be solved.

• Where Windows Media Player store album art?

  I have many, many of the audio CD WMP shows the album art to album and several other points of view.  I have another application, in that I try to get the work but the application will not find work rip CD or by using the function «find album art»  I have a vague feeling that the other application does not search the work to what whether the 'head office' doesn't sell. ? !  In any case, if I could find where album art are kept in WMP, I could try to transfer it to the other application.  I looked on some of the CD and cannot find any file or subdirectory.  Similarly, I can't find any subdirectory under WMP where work could be stored.

  Any help would be appreciated,

• 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.

• 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 Itunes using the Sansa Fuze.

  I add album art to several of my albums on Itunes. I then put the songs in a folder on my desktop (the music opens in Winamp) and then put them on my Sansa Fuze. However, the album art is not displayed. How can I solve this problem? Thank you!

  Hands down. the best tool to check the metadata and album art is MP3Tag.  If the embedded art is not of joy, you have MP3Tag export a file as album art.jpg or folder.jpg, another name of file will work with the Sansa.

  Mp3Tag is a free download, but you can make a donation to the author.  Should be supported, as well as the tool works!

  This is for you.

  I finally gave it a try just now, so I could properly integrate album art, and the program really is up to the hype.

• 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.

• 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.

• Contribution of random information - Album Art

  Hello fellow Fuzers!

  I finished converting my 400 CD MP3s and I am now in the process of conversion of almost 1000 vinyl albums.  The only obstacle is album art to enjoy in my rocket during playback and who need to have images to 172 x 172. Since iTunes and various other online sources use images much more large on their website I found an excellent source of album clip art file in iTunes before syncing to my Fuze - CD Universe.

  1. Google the artist name, album and include a CD Universe

  2 9 times out of 10 the first page of results under Google Images will have a list of CD Universe with an image of the album you want to 170 x 170.

  3. open the image in your browser.

  4. right click and save the image to your Clipboard.

  5. right click and paste to the area of the image in iTunes.

  Hope this random bit of info is useful to someone.

  At the latest,

  Patrice

  Where people get the idea that the "rocket" requires the album art to be 172 x 172 of?

  Although there is an upper limit for the maximum size that is more than 300 x 300. The "rocket" album art to fit what screen it currently shows it on the scales. In the list of albums he can scale down to a tiny thumbnail next to the name of the album, in the playback screen now he adjusted to a medium size and if you press the button to the Center twice that it can evolve into a larger pouch only display dimensions.

  The 'standard' album art has always been 200 x 200 (and the "rocket" works very well with this size). Almost all the other images of size on the Internet have been scaling down the size of 200 x 200 normal still. There are tons of images of album at 200 x 200 (give or take a pixel or two) on the Internet to choose. So, I have no idea why people even worth messing around with other sizes to begin with.

• Windows Media Player does not display of MicroSD songs album art

  Summer love the Surface Pro offer functions since I got the 9 February, but lately, I've been a few software/hardware problems here and there. One of these issues is with Windows 8 itself. Go to a 500 GB SSHD in my old laptop with a 128 GB SSD in the Surface Pro forced me to move no delicate libraries or all the files on a 64 GB MicroSD card; No delicate part of these things is my music/iTunes library.

  After that, I then open Windows Media Player and noticed that it lacked all the artworks of my music organized itunes album in library view. Thinking it was just Windows Media Player still missing support for .m4a files (even if the file Explorer supports them clearly), I tried to add the album art, and it made no difference. Then it crossed my mind that maybe its Windows Media Player that does not support display cover from a disk full out of the primary. So I have moved the library to its default location, open Windows Media Player and it shows ALL of my music organized itunes album artwork.
  Move back to the new MicroSD is back to square 1; Windows Media Player is not display Album art. All geek/hacker knows a fix for this? I am confident in the modification of ANY part of the file system on my computer, including the registry. Thanks in advance.

  This looks like a problem of indexing. Windows just indexes not removable media by default particularly well. http://digitalmediaphile.com/index.php/2012/11/02/how-to-use-Windows-8-RT-apps-libraries-and-removable-media/ might help.
