Windows 10: How do I change an album cover on new Media Player

I've seen questions for changing album covers on the old Windows Media Player Legacy, but I've seen nothing on the new Media Player introduced with Windows 11. Could someone help me out with it here? Here is a screenshot of my Media Player because I can't add a picture to the post for some reason.

Windows Media Player in Windows 11: Import album covers

I have a new computer with Windows 11 and Windows Media Player 11.2211.36.0.

I have copied the music library (including album covers) from my old Windows 10 (with Windows Media Player 12.0.19041.1266) to the new computer.

But the new Windows Media Player does not display all the imported album covers.

When I try to update the album cover with one of the 4 existing images, none of these images are displayed.

Any idea how to correct this?

 

Microsoft Media Player and Groove Music Album Art Covers Only Displaying Top Half of Album Cover

Hello:

I have been loading MP3 files from Audacity into Windows Media Player for more than a year now, as I am digitizing old records and tapes into MP3 format. Once the songs/albums are loaded into Windows Media Player, I then add the album artwork. Windows Media
player is excellent for this, because unlike I-Tunes, Windows media player somehow embeds the artwork into the file so that it can be transferred to various media sources (phone, other computers, etc.). Up until two days ago, this process has been working
perfectly. Two days ago, however, my computer forced me to do a massive Windows upgrade on my Windows 10 software. Unfortunately, since the upgrade, the album cover artwork has not been displaying correctly when I add NEW albums/songs into the media player
from Audacity. When I insert the artwork onto the album now, the album art displays correctly
over the album ONLY. As each song is playing, however, the artwork for the song is displaying only the top half of the album cover. It is important to note that work that has ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED, and is in my Media Player files, displays correctly.

I got in touch with an agent from MSFT and we chatted online. He suggested that this is because Microsoft Media Player is no longer updated, and that the new Media Player is now Groove Music, and that I should try that. I did so, and it does the same thing.
The artwork does not display correctly.

Furthermore, I have I Tunes pulling its Music files from the same folder (as I have always done). Now, however, if I add the files with artwork added using windows Media Player, the artwork in I-Tunes
also only shows the top half of the album cover. If I manually put the cover in through I-Tunes, the cover DOES display correctly, but ONLY in I-Tunes.

I contacted MSFT support online again, and had an agent delete my media player and then reload it (per her suggestion), and it still didn't fix the problem.

Is Microsoft working on this problem? I really need this fixed as soon as possible in order to continue my music project. Can anyone help?

Evidently, I am not the only one challenged with this. Other people have indicated their difficulties with this on the following post:

Unfortunately, I didn't find the posts at this site resolved the problem.

Thanks in advance

 

Windows 11 media player doesn't show album/cover art

Hi,

Could you please confirm if you have edited the cover of each album? Hover over an album and select the 3 dots at the bottom > select Edit Info > does the album cover/art appear? You can also try updating the album cover/art, save the changes, restart Media Player and check if the album cover appears. Let me know the outcome.

Thanks.
