Fixing Album Art in Windows 8 Media Player

Fixing Album Art Image in Windows 8 Media Player

Almost each and everyone out there in the World is familiar with Album Art when it comes listening to music.  For the ones who dont know it, it is a small picture shown when we play a soundtrack on a player that supports Album Arts.

Images are Copyrighted to Their Respective Owners

On Windows 8 systems and Windows 7, we notice sometimes we are seeing same Album Art for each and every track we play in a specific folder or a common folder for all soundtracks.  This is a common problem in Windows 8 default Windows Media Player but very annoying if you love Album Art and want to keep it up to date with the soundtracks you play.

To Fix this issue, follow these steps below:

1. Exit Windows Media Player.

2. Open Run Command Prompt by pressing (Window Key + R).

3. Type exactly in bold or copy-paste into Run prompt and press Enter key,

%LOCALAPPDATA%Microsoft

4. Find and Delete Media Player folder.

5. Restart Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

Hope this helps.

16/12/2010 - Important email received from Adam.W Fedora QA Community Monkey

I recommend not installing the 64-bit Flash plugin for several reasons.

See, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F14_bugs#Strangely_distorted_sound_in_Flash-based_sites_and_applications_when_using_Adobe_64-bit_Flash_plugin

and the warnings at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#64-bit_Preview_Release ,

and follow the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#32_bit_wrapped_version to install the 32-bit version wrapped instead.

It is nice to see the fedora community (and a Red Hat employee) demonstrating an active interest in the users as well as the product.

Thank you for the email.
