dbPowerAMP changes mp3 tracks covers (pictures) INCORRECTLY !

[Johne Leon]

Please,somebody help how to stop it ???
I mean that if an MP3 track has no cover, but only a Windows shortcut, then the converter itself enters the covers, but the wrong ones! Where are these synchronization settings with Windows and how to stop it???

dbpa doesn't do this. Where are you seeing the incorrect art. For example, in some windows programs, they will pick up any artwork in the same FOLDER as the music file and use that as the cover. Describe exactly which programs you are seeing this problem in and how your files are organized (folders, etc.)

Also Windows Media Player is notorious for doing this:

Thanks for answers guys but i have this only after installation DBPWMP at once(
As you can see in the screenshot, the artists are different and the cover is from the same band. Before this, these tracks had no cover, just a musical key

like this
all my music files without cover before are Color Me Badd now covers

Windows media player has nothing to do with it, all settings are disabled there.

I suspect there is a Color Me Badd artwork file in the same directory/folder as these music files or in the root directory. Please double check this. And have you ever opened these files in Windows Media Player?

In Windows explorer, enable the option to see hidden and system files, WMP sets those to hidden.

and you changed windows explorer settings to show all HIDDEN files. Again, keep in mind that dbpoweramp is not doing this. Something in your system (windows explorer, WMP etc.) is doing this. One check you can do. In dbpoweramp, select one of these files with incorrect art and right click. Then open dbpoweramp > EDIT ID TAG, and see if any artwork is showing as embedded in this file?
