• Help! windows 7 Windows media player: the album (with album art) icons are HUGE! How to make their small new

  HELP! Im not sure how it happened, but today, by using windows media player, I think that I leaned on my keyboard, by chance and somehow my icons have grown from small (such as 4 cm wide) to huge (as 9 cm wide). I put it on the "icons" option and always have. I tried to find out if there was a zoom button or something that would cause this happens on my keyboard, but there is not, it's just a standard keyboard. Then I tried switching modes, for "tile" of fashion, but they are huge in this point of view too, only 3 albums are now through my screen, when there used to be 6. I prefer them smaller, because it won't take long to scroll down threw them, I sense a tun of the music. I looked in the settings and can't seem to find a way to change their return. Please let me know if you have a solution for me! Thank you guys!

  HI Branika,

  Apology for a delayed response.

  You can try this procedure and check if it retains the size original album art information of the media file in Windows Media Player:

  • Open the media file in Windows Media Player. Click on the file and then press F4. Now the album art will not be displayed.
  • Press the F4 key from the keyboard. This will reset the size of the info from the album. This works very well for a specific file. You can also choose to support those who don't have the default size and use specific keys to reset.

  If this does not help, we will proceed with several troubleshooting steps ahead.

  We will restore the size of album art using the registry change and check if it helps. Check out the link and follow the suggestions that are marked as an answer:

  Note: Please make sure that you back up the registry files before you start the troubleshooting steps listed above.

  Let us know if the problem still persists.

• Windows media player 'find album information '.

  Earlier this week the 'Find album information' feature stop working.  Display only the computers at home and at work

  "Server Error" "500 internal server error." "There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

  I have this problem on three computers that are running windows 7 and a Tablet under windows 8.  This function works perfectly before this week.  I thought it might be a problem with the server "fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com", but after a week, the problem is still there.

  Is this a problem with the end of Microsoft servers, or did a recent update screw up everything?

  I can't even service that would allow me to manually enter album information.

  VERY FRUSTRATING.

• WIndows media player music sorce

  Hi, I have on my computer a few music files in various formats, lower quality formats are used with iTunes for usage of mobile devices but I have the best quality formats that I use to listen to music around the House and I use the 'windows media player' but when I open the drive it is load all music files , I would limit the player just for higher quality files, and if I try to create a playlist I don't understand in the forms of album with all of the work of art as.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you

  It must only be including these defined folders in the library music in Media Player.

  However in the iTunes preferences, you can set a different location for its library. Or hold the SHIFT key when you start iTunes to get the ability to change/create a new library.

• Windows Media Player 11 album art is missing

  Hi, this is a mystery, but suddenly and without reason obvious, almost half of my albums do not show all arts album no matter what view, I use. However, when I browse through the files in Windows Explorer, I see that images (Folder.jpg, AlbumArtSmall.jpg and so on) are still there. And even if I stick a new image in the album inside WMP no album art appears.

  Thanks for any help!

  I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists. Tim Baets

• 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,

  Turner

  Copy the files in the top level of this folder in the same folder on new pc...

  C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

  You can probably just copy the entire folder of Media Player above.

  My library of music guard preparation itself and I cannot understand why. I went through it and deleted duplicates twice now and a few days ago, they were back.  If I go in my libraries in the menu start none of my music splits just to the music to Windows Media Player list.

  If you have transferred once the song of Media Player. Do not open files in Explorer again. If you do, it will transfer the songs an extra time. So if you want to listen to your music, start by opening the media player and songs by finding th eosngs it.
