Windows 10: Goove Music on 2 machines - one shows album art, the other does not

I`ve got my music on a network share, and I have 2 windows 10 machines with Groove installed on them pointed to that share.

One machine shows the album art for the music perfectly. I can delete the library and re-create it, and still the album art appears exactly as it should on that machine.

On the other machine, The same albums show up, but 90% of them don't have any album art. I have tried resetting the library and re-creating and I`ve also tried re-registering the app with powershell commands. Nothing I have tried so far changed this behaviour - I just continue to get albums without art.

Anyone got any recommendations? I`m at a loss...

Groove Music on Lumia 830 running 10.0.10586.318

The latest update to Groove Music is not showing the correct album art... I have 4 albums of mp3's on my phone, each album has it's own album art, but on playing the music, only one album art is shown for all albums, it is not showing the album art for each
album.

I am using Core Music Player and it is showing the correct album art for each album.

 

N73 Album/Artist name not displayed

in my n73 music player..albums does show up..but one thing i noticed is that..if the file is WMA file..artist and album appears to be unknown...but with mp3 files...everything is fine...even the album art does show up in the music player...

 

Bump. Guys, any ideas?

 

I don't really know the answer but on my rig groove is a bit unpredictable with album art. It shows most of it but some pesky art refuses to show despite other software like windows media player or iTunes showing it fine. I don't really use groove though as my player of choice is iTunes purely because we are invested in the Apple eco system with regards tablets and mobile phones.

does your album art show ok in explorer view when using thumbnail view? If it doesn't here then groove is not going to get it either. I struggle to remember but I had an issue with the art in thumbnail view via explorer too (only m4a and m4p) and downloaded Icaros to handle certain thumbnails which fixed things right up

 

Ye, art looks good, I really don't get it.

 

Hmm, not sure then. Have you tried resetting the app and then re launching it? Mine is missing a few album artworks too but they are sporadic. Although several versions of groove back I did find many more missing and it improved over time. Is this a relatively new setup? Maybe give the machine a good amount of idle time to see if anything builds in the background - I think these are unlikely to help but there is nothing to lose

personally I think groove is lousy and many of the MS native apps aren't too great but I suppose if someone has a windows mobile then groove is essential

I hope you find a fix eventually and if you do share it on the forum
