    Windows 10 - Prevent New Album Art from Downloading to Music Folder


    Hi, this question was already asked but the technicians did not establish a solution.


    Why, after every time I pay any music file, Windows Media Player downloads more music information? I delete the albumart.jpg and the folder.jpg repeatedly.


    In fact I delete these unwanted files so many times I think it's time Microsoft started paying me for my time in addressing their problems.



    How do you STOP Windows Media Player from TOUCHING the internet? Why do you force a program to go online when there is -zero- use for it?


    Please help me disable Windows Media Player both from downloading voluntary information and from connecting to the internet at all.

    Yes, ALL BOXES ARE UNCHECKED. Not 'some' boxes.... ALL BOXES are UNCHECKED.


    So why are you still downloading stuff?

    :)

    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!
