Windows 10: How do I make this music folder show just the album art instead of multiple images of the...

Okay, this is really frustrating me and I could really use some help with this. I'm trying to figure out how to make this one album show just the album art instead of every single file inside the folder; I want this folder to look like every other folder, the only problem is: I have no idea how to do that. The folder I'm trying to fix is highlighted/selected in the picture below, your help is much appreciated :

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!

WMP12 album art not showing, album art is in folder (Windows 10)

Copied my music from my main pc to a laptop. The album art is present (set folder option for hidden & OS files done).

If I copy the art and then right click on the album and "paste album art" then nothing happens.

Tried "apply media changes" does nothing, I presume because the art is already present.

Tried deleting WMP & re-installing, also tried resetting defaults, but don't make any difference.

Album art shows in small player, but not full size. Also set to show Expanded Tile.

Any ideas?
