wmp 11 shows incorrect art (in library view but not now playing/a.

o.s: xp pro (media center 2002)

problem: album art is often (but not always) wrong.

for example, when in library view, with album art displayed, the art is
sometimes wrong.
switching to 'now playing', the album art is correct.

checking the a.t. editor (pictures tab) shows the correct art for all songs
in the album/cd.

the same 'wrong' art often shows up for many different albums.

i have all my music lumped together in the my music /music folder (ie.
without putting each band & album into a separate folder ).

WMP stores the album art that is shown in the library as JPG files in
the same folder as the music files. You may want to check these JPG
files, especially
AlbumArt_{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}_Large.jpg and
AlbumArt_{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}_Small.jpg could be
causing the problem you're having. These files will be hidden, so you
will need to make sure Explorer is set to show hidden files.
