    Just got the rogue artwork out of my Computer...Yipeeeee!!! How..? Well i Just reformatted my F: drive and cleaned it via a youtube tutorial .Dont know which one worked-but who cares-ITS GONE!

    many thanks to all who helped on thread-esp mville who lead me the right way.I cannot believe someone like me with little computer knowledge could get rid of it-yet my friend of friend who as a degree in Astro physics (iam not joking here) and works as a systems analyst could not.It just dont add up....

    Still back to ripping now...Thanks all- happy days.

    Probably a hidden thumbs.db file (created by Windows Media Player), related to the thumbnail cache which was generating the preview you were seeing.

    Anyway, we will never know for sure. At least you are sorted.

    good to hear. And never ever ever install or open Windows Media Player on your machine. Or at least don't let it know the location of your music files!

    Agreed... and the moral to this story is?

    If you are serious about your audio library, try not to use editor/player/server software written by corporate software developers, but rather by experienced audio developers.
