WMP 11 Keeps switiching visualization back to album art

Hello,

Whenever I change the visualization of WMP to anything else (bars, no
visualization, infocenter view, etc.) it always changes back to the album art
visualization when I play a song. Sometimes it will take a couple of songs
before this will happen, but it always reverts back to the album art
visualization with whatever type of mp3 or wma I play (even lecture
recordings in mp3 do this). I have stopped WMP from looking up other
information (album art, etc.) of the song in options and have turned off
anything else that looks like it could change the info of a song or the
player. I have also deleted all the album art of the songs that I play or
play songs that do not have album art, however the player still goes back to
the album art view. I am wondering how I can permanently keep WMP in the "no
visualization" mode (turn off all visualizations). I am running WMP 11 in
Vista 32bit. Please help.

Thank you

Humair

 

WMP will default to album art I believe if you are running on battery on a
laptop. It's to conserve resources & allow you to have more "jucie" on your
laptop since visualizations are so computation intensive.
