    Windows Media Player 12 - same album artwork shown


    Hello.I realize this has been asked before so apologies, but I've never found a solution that's worked for me.I'm running Windows Media Player 12 12.0.19041.3208 on Windows 10. The problem I have is that a few of my album covers have the same - incorrect - artwork. I've downloaded the correct artwork and dragged it in to the Media Player, which then saves okay, displaying the correct artwork. However, when I go into my Music folder, the correct artwork isn't shown on the album tile.It doesn't happen on every album, but certain ones won't update.I've tried clearing the cache via Organize, Opt

    :)

    Problem with the album artwork in the maemo media player

    when i play any audio file with the maemo media player(which comes inbuilt as you all know)

    the media player displays the album artwork of some other audio file.

    this only happens with some audio files,

    would be glad if anyone helps me out of this problem.

  3. Problem with the album artwork in the maemo media player

    check if the artwork is correct on your pc. then set device to mass storage mode when you connect it, and open up windows media player. do not sync entire library. instead, drag what you want to copy to the device to the sync tab, and hit sync.



    this normally copies all album data (album art included) for me.

    Album art sync with Windows Media Player 11 with bitrate conversion

    This is what I understand about displaying album art on the S60 Music Player:



    • The album art must be embedded in a ID3 tag. "folder.jpg" and other external artwork are not displayed.


    • The album art can be embedded into the music file using Windows Media Player by:
      • using the Pictures tab of Advanced Tag Editor, or
      • dragging an image from a folder to the gray "Paste Art Here" box


    • If the music is synced to the phone without bitrate conversion, the embedded artwork (and all metadata, e.g. lyrics) is transferred.


    • If bitrate is downgraded during sync, Windows Media Player drops the embedded artwork to save space on the phone. This unfortunately happens even with the MTP protocol, where the phone is supposed to disclose its capabilities (e.g. ability to display album
      art) to WMP.


    Can the experienced forum members please point out any mistakes in my observations? My phone is a Nokia E66.
