Windows 10: Album Art and Folder View Issue...

Very weird issue, where the sub-folder and mp3's show there respective album art, but for some reason the primary folders are not.

So I have primary folders for each band and inside is a folder for each album of that band, the mp3's show album art and so do each album folder. But the primary folders only shows what looks like a folder within a folder and document. Tried resetting folders, deleted thumbs with Disk Cleanup.

Album Art Folders

Is there a way of seeing album art without the folder wrapped around it? I am using Windows 10 pro and I am not asking how to add album art to a folder, all my folders have album art its just I want to see the art without the left hand side being obscured
by the folder flap.

I'm sure in previous Windows the folder wasn't so intrusive

 

N97 Album Art.

I think WMP stores the album art in the folder with the music files but does not embed the album art in the actual file. iTunes does something similar but stores the album art in a database instead of in a flat file structure.



Just to make it clear, the problem is that the album art is not embedded in the music files.



There are several things that you can do:

• Load the album art onto the phone as images and link these to each album (not ideal as it requires quite a bit of work and the images need to remain on the phone and in the same location)
• Google "embed album art mp3" and download an application that can embed the album art.
• Import your music into iTunes, add the album art, and the convert to AAC (iTunes Plus) format which embeds the album art.

Hope this helps!

 

MP3 Album art work changing


I've just spent considerable time getting mp3 files to display artwork and other track details on my Mazda. Here is what I did:

• Rip CDs in mp3 format in iTunes and import music folders / files obtained from other sources.
• Consolidate the music library in iTunes which generates the folder structure Artist / Album / Tracks
• Check for missing artwork. I did a Google search for album covers and saved artwork size c. 300x300 pixels then added the album art in iTunes.
• Use Tagscanner to check/edit the track details, artist, album art etc
• Use MP3Tag to check the tags are v2.3. Cut the tag then paste it back to set v2.3 if incorrect.
• Use MP3Test to quickly check and test for mp3 file errors
• Use MP3Diags to check and correct mp3 files in detail

What program are you using to create and play MP3 files?
