Windows 10: Update KB4462919 causes album art loss in wmp

album art has mostly disappeared after this update. An issue multiple win 10 machines. Uninstalling update, along with resetting wmp library brings back the album art. However once update re-installs itself, problem comes back. Microsoft needs a fix on this

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!

 

WMP 12 Album art

I am using WMP12 in W10 on a Surface Pro 2. Since moving from WMP 10 to 12 some of my album art has disappeared, even though they are still there on the MP3 tag editor. Has anyone any ideas?

 

Music Album Art

I've found the only way of doing that is to use WMP to scan the album art, save it to a file then r click to copy the album art & then paste it onto the album details under Library>recently Added.

I've tried using software to update the album art but it never appears on the phone.
