  2. No album art in Windows Media player mobile 10

    This is from Windows Media Player Mobile FAQ (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/windowsmobile/faq.aspx)

    It is an old FAQ (May 2005) but I believe it offers some insight worth looking at.

    5.6 Why isn't album art displayed when I play a song? There are several reasons why album art might not be displayed when you play on song on your device. In order for album art to be displayed:

    • The album art must appear when you play the file on the desktop version of Windows Media Player. If the desktop Player cannot display the album art, then the album art cannot be copied to your device.

    • You must use the Sync feature in the desktop version of Windows Media Player 10 to copy songs to your device. This ensures that the album art on your desktop computer is copied to the correct location on your device.

    • Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Pocket PC or Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Smartphone must be installed on your device. Only these versions can display album art.

    In some cases, album art might not be displayed correctly if the art is embedded in the file (for example, by using the Advanced Tag Editor in the desktop version of Windows Media Player).

    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.

    No album art in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 10

    I tried restoring my media library. It deleted all my music and closed. I reopened and it added all my music back but still not the album art. The album art still only shows when I click on Artist on the column to the far left of the media player.
    Any other suggestions?
