Windows 10: Multiple Artists in the Media PlayerNew

The UI is great, really appreciate the new UI and that is why I want to be using the Media Player. But, the application is unable to display/filter through multiple artists for an mp3 file. In the info tab, contribution artists, "x,y" are visible, but the only the artist x is visible and filterable through albums/search. Is this a bug or the media player does not have a multiple artists feature?

Song Titles, Artist, Album names in burned Playlist

I have an extensive music collection, but most listening is to playlists. I have tried to follow all hints, suggestions, and directions found (even purchased Uniconverter). Unfortunately, I have never been able to produce a Cd which will play on a car audio system and display song names, artist, etc. on the player screen. Can someone please outline a step by step procedure for either beginning with an existing playlist, or creating one, then continuing through all of the steps necessary to produce a playable Cd with track and artist info displayed.

How do I change my artist profile picture in the new Windows 11 Media Player?

Hi!. Josh here.

I think what he means is the Album Artist, not the Album Art. If the issue is the Album Art, then what you have suggested is correct. But Album Artist is different.

Album Artist is a picture of the artist that the user did not put there, but was downloaded automatically by Media Player. In my case, I always put Album Art on my music files, but Media Player does an extra step of adding a picture of the artist that appears alongside the Album Art when I play the music. And sometimes, Media Player gets the wrong picture.

And when it gets it wrong, I would change the name for "Contributing Artists" (like add a character) so that Media Player would remove the wrong picture and leave it blank instead.

So I guess this concern is not yet resolved. Currently, I don't see an option to manually add or select an Album Artist image for Media Player.

 

Groove Shows Unknown Artist & Unknown Album


I solved it by doing the following! I'm not sure which step cracked the problem.

1. Set indexing to index the content of my music files by right clicking on the top level folder, setting the option and applying to all files and sub-folders
2. Rebuilt the index via the Control Panel Indexing options
3. Deleted the folders watched in Groove
4. Deleted the Groove database at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_<random>\LocalState\Database
5. Started Groove
6. Reassigned the folders to watch

All songs now appear with the right artist & album but some album art was missing in Groove and Media Player despite being displayed correctly in iTunes. I manually updated the missing album art in Media Player and Groove then synchronised to match the Media Player album art.
