Strange files

Hello Chao,

Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, we'd like to clarify if you've downloaded any files before the albumart JPG file appeared.

If you're not comfortable seeing the files, you can hide it by following these steps:

• Right-click on the file, and select Properties.
• Click General Tab.
• Under Attributes, select Hidden and click
  OK.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

Perhaps members of HTG fancy TPU?

I see that a simple Google search of "hide mp3 in png" would have done the trick.
