  1. Album Info Lookup Windows Media Player 12/Windows 10: what happenbed to the old site/custom...


    Using Windows Media Player 12 / Windows 10 latest update (July 2018)


    WMP 12 when looking up album info now directs to a different website:

    musicmatch.ssl-xboxlive.com


    This is an inferior option compared to the prior site:

    redir.metaservices.microsoft.com

    That original site allowed for custom search options (e.g. modify searches once in lookup mode or to enter custom album data). A very useful option for classical music collectors who often find their low-selling albums listed but incomplete or not listed at all.


    Tried "hosts" file fix from June 2018 article below to redirect to former metaservices site but does not work:

    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/583e6de9-859c-4c62-ad07-029ea41b6082/this-is-still-a-problem?forum=win10itprogeneral


    How do I reinstall/redirect WMP to redir.metaservices.microsoft.com?


    Hate your new xbox media info site: no flexibility or customization option. It's even more disgraceful that I had Google my way to what info I did find as MS in-line help in WMP is utterly useless. No apparent way to select my media info web site within the program. I got zero current results at MS's web site regardless of how specific a search I ran. This is hardly any sort of upgrade to my mainstay media player and abysmal customer support.


    Fix this or my next step will be to find a replacement media player from another supplier and rethink whether to upgrade my current Office suite or replace it with a competitor's product.

    :)

    Window Media Player 12 On Windows 10

    Hi,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    • Do you face this issue with any particular album or with all albums?
    By design Windows Media Player 12 doesn’t stretch the pictures like other media players and shows the original size of the album art.

    You may customize the album art manually by adding a picture of your choice or matching an album in your Player Library with an entry in the online database or try changing the album art with a bigger size picture manually and
    check.

    For more information, refer this link.

    Add or change album art in Windows Media Player

    Hope the information helps. Please post back and let us know.
