  • Windows 7 continues to write thousands of jpg files on c:\windows\serviceprofiles\networkservice\appdata\local\microsoft\media player\art cache\localmls subdirectory in the form of system files.

    Let me describe what is happening. I used the 'get info' in iTunes to add various jpg work at the individual level of CD (i.e. selecting song at the same time) multiple.  ITunes displays the work very well and works very well. Over a period of time, I noticed deterioration in system performance and when I tried to create a disc using CMS Bounceback Ultimate image has noticed that the number of files on my hard drive had increased from 250,000 to about 1 000 000. After much research and a bit of luck, I determined that Windows 7 has written these JPGs repeatedly in the subdirectory cache\localmls of c:\windows\serviceprofiles\networkservice\appdata\local\microsoft\media player\art. These are the same files jpg, I added in iTunes. When I discovered, there are about 700,000 of these small files in this subdirectory in the form of system files which are hidden files. I was able to remove these files first reset file attributes (attrib s h - r *.jpg) and using the del command. Unfortunately, the system continues to write the same files in the same sub and a few hours, I have thousands of these files written again. I checked the system for virus/malware using the latest versions of sophos, malwarebytes, and spy hunter. There is no malware reported by one of these programs.  I also stopped Sophos and tried again but the problem persists. I have also rebuilt iTunes library by following the steps described by Apple, but this does not solve the problem. Any suggestions I can try next?

    If not, perhaps, you create a batch file to run at startup or schedule tasks to remove *.jpg files that appear in this folder?

    An approximate example of a batch file would be in this sense. It would be created in Notepad but recorded in a .bat file.

    CD "windows\serviceprofiles\networkservice\appdata\local\microsoft\media player\art cache\localmls".
    DEL *.jpg

    pause

    This is only a rough guide and may need a lot of amendments by you that I'm not familiar with batch files, but it shouldn't be too hard to do.  The batch by operating manually or in scheduled tasks file would need administrative privileges or the localmls access permissions set properly for the user.

  • Why don't the folder Player\Art Cache\Local MLS \windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\App Data\Local\Microsoft\Media have the cover art for all tracks in iTunes

    I worked on issues related to the time to do a full scan with MSE.  I discovered that the MSE scan spent 4 hours going through the files in "\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\App Data\Local\Microsoft\Media Player\Art Cache\Local MLS". With the information of the community, I was finally able to access these files and watch. I was more then a bit surprised to find that the cover is the cover art for tracks I have in iTunes. I deleted some files and found out that the cover for iTunes still works. Windows Media Player is not just music cover art.

    So anyone know why Windows Media Player load cover art files on my system for iTunes titles? It loads the same cover for each track in an album don't ask me there are as many files in this folder.

    I have disabled the service "wmpnetwk" and if it does not start even when I restart the computer. Once again thanks to the community. So if I just delete these files that will be the end of the matter?

    The Player downloads album art to a database online where the information is provided by a variety of non-Microsoft, as AMG data providers.

    The Player downloads album art when you rip a CD. To do this, the Player tries to match the CD for an entry in the online database. If it finds a match, the Player automatically downloads the media information that is available for the CD, including album art. In addition, the reader travels periodically your library songs lacking album art. If it can match a song that is missing from the album art to an entry in the database online, the player will download the missing album art. For information about changing how the Player downloads album art and other media information, see the question bring the player to the difficulty of the media information automatically in media information: frequently asked questions.

    Why is album art missing sometimes?

    The player would not be able to download album art from the database in the following situations:

    • You are not connected to the Internet during extraction of a CD.

    • You are connected to the Internet, but the online database is missing album art (or there is no media information at all) for the CD you are ripping.

    • Your system administrator has prevented your computer to download items such as album art from the Internet.

    • You ripped the CD using one program other than Windows Media Player; doing so could prevent the player from a match in the database online.

    Finally, if the online database contains album art wrong for a CD, the Player downloads this pouch.

    The following procedures describe the methods that you can use to fix missing or incorrect album art.
