Hello

If some of your albums are missing album art, you can manually add an image of your choice. When you do so, the image is embedded in the file, and the player will always show the file incorporated as the album art (as opposed to any album art that the player can be downloaded online database).

  1. Click the library tab, and then browse to the album that is missing art.
  2. Find a picture that you want to use for album art (the picture can be on your computer or on a Web page), right-click on the image and then click copy.

The original image can be in one of the following formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF.

  1. In your library, right-click the album art box, and then click Paste Album Art.

A copy of the image is in each of the songs on this album. The copy of the image is automatically resized to the size appropriate and converted to the format JPEG before it is embedded in the file. The original image file is not changed.

Note:

If you cannot add album art manually, verify that you are allowed to edit the file. For example, right-click the file, and then click Open file location. In the folder, right click the file and click Properties, and then clear the read-only check box if it is selected.

  • Mobile device does not synchronize with Windows Media player

    My mobile device (Pharos Traveler 137) running windows media 10 mobile player is not detected by Windows Media Player 11 running in Vista.  Connected and synchronized correctly for months, it is not so now, even if the mobile device is detected by the computer and synchronizes correctly for other purposes such as outlook, files, etc..   How to get Windows Media Player to detect once more unit (specifically the card 8 GB storage) in the window of synchronization?

  • Coventing VOB to avi not playable on windows media player

    I have a HOME VIDEO (i.e. There is no license no questions here) I have a program that allows to convert VOB files to avi so that I can store the video on my computer, and then play using windows media player, etc...

    However, I can't get windows media player to read the file if I convert VOB to AVI using mpeg2.  This isn't a good option, but it works.   Other options for the avi settings include:
    INTEL IYUV codec
    Microsoft Video Codec I
    XviD codec MPEG-4

    With all this, when I try to run windows media player avi files which result gives me the following error:
    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

    How can I get a high quality VOB to AVI conversion that will play in windows media player?  I need to find somewhere new codec?  If yes where?

    Brian Smith

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers forum.

    Windows Media Player and. Read VOB

    Windows Media Player (and) Windows Media Center should be able to natively playback unencrypted. VOB files. As long as the whole structure is there you can point Windows Media Center in the folder root containing records audio and video TS. To display a local copy of your movie in Windows Media Center everything you need to do is Add the folder to the watch list. You can select and then ideally in your library or you can do the following to access the files using Windows Media Player.

    Opening. VOB in Windows Media Player:

    1 or you can right click the upper Video_TS. VOB and select Open.

    2. click Select a program from a list of installed programs, and then tap OK.

    3 uncheck always use the program selected for this file type.

    4. click on Windows Media Player, and the family film should start playing.

    If you still prefer to compress the files rather than using Windows Media Player or Media Center, you can see this technical document. This document describes the types of files supported in Windows Media Player.

  • DRM will not play on Windows Media Player

    For years, I've been downloading audiobooks (WMA) of Overdrive and listen to them on my computer.  The DRM has never been a problem.  Suddenly he is now.  Whenever I try to play a protected file, I get the "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when reading this file."

    I scanned this forum and others.  I carefully and repeatedly followed the instructions given here.  I used ResetDRM (once again, repeatedly).  And the result is always the same.  I can play video files, mp3s and wma files not protected to my heart's content.  No problem.  But DRM won't work.  After that I run ResetDRM, WMP says to update software to play a DRM file.  Let him do it.  And then I get the SAME error.

    I am at a loss.  Can someone help me?  Please?

  • How to convert wma and wav, mp4 files and what not not mp3 with Windows media player?

    * Original title: music questions

    Music has become a huge problem for me.   My car CD player only supports mp3 format.  I wish I could burn my CD from which I get used various locations, so that I can play in my car. Or convert files I have, which are not in mp3 format.  I played the same CD in my car for years.  It's a little sad.  And convert mp3 no mp3 files, so I can play them in my car, because I don't have a player other than Windows media player and speakers belong good markets.   How to convert files to wma and wav and mp4 and what not in mp3?

    Music is expensive nowadays and the multiple formats and thus loss of music bought and in the cloud, or itunes 'cannot locate the source' will not play, and when devices in the event of a failure or who are upgraded drives me crazy.  I have more music in my life and I wish that we would go back to portable music as CD.

    I usually use Windows Media player to RIP CD, that I find at thrift stores.   I have my brother gave me, on the PC that is in all sorts of types of music files.  I found a job online converter and it is, according to me, so thank you guys for suggesting that.  Have tried 3 different ones and finally found one that works in the last one.  I think my brain might need a bit of adjustment, of our days, (won't tell you music I have on CD, would seriously date), no kidding, but probably my PC could also use the setting.   I also have itunes for Windows, but have hardly used it.
