Album Art in WMP after Ripping

[cybersailor]

I have spend the last 10 days re-ripping my CDs to FLAC. The problem I am having is when I add the folder with the music to WMP. The album art does not display. I am using "WMP Tag Plus" plug-in. All the metadata is loaded correctly. I have tried removing the folder from the libray and adding it back. The reason I am using WMP is I am using Media Center to control my TV and other media files. WMP and Meda Center share the same metadata.

Thanks

There is folder.jpg in the folder? if yes it sounds like a bug with WMP Tag Plus.

Yes, there are also three other files that have "AlbumArt" as beginning of the name. I had to uncheck "hide protected operating systems files" to see hidden files.

Are there other WMP plug-ins beside WMP Tag Plus for use with FLAC files?

None that I am aware of.

Any suggestions on where to begin to start debugging? I know if I select Find Album Info in WMP it will update the database. This would talk a lot of time to do all the re-ripped CDs.

Thanks

If there is a bug in WMP Tag Plus, we cannot fix it as it is not our code.

I'm using WMPTagSupport11.exe in Win7 x64, and it works mostly fine. I have found that WMP likes to ignore the "Album Artist" and instead use the "Artist" field for sorting. Because of this is I have multiple listings for the same album, so I have to manually change the Artist field to the name of the album artist to get rid of the duplicates. It's pretty easy with the dbpoweramp tag editor though.

After I make changes I run the "Update whole library from tags files" in the properties of WMPTagSupport11 to update WMP.

I hope this helps.

Hi, I'm the author of WMP Tag Plus. My plug-in currently doesn't support album art yet, but the next major release will have album art support.
