Title: Embedded album art not displaying in MCE 2005
Post by: ozmael on April 23, 2006, 02:10:14 am

Has anyone else experienced that their WMA files with embedded album art don't display properly in the Playing Now screens of MCE 2005? The album art displays properly when viewing music "By Album" but I get a black box on the Playing Now screens.

All of my music is in WMA format with embedded album art images. Many of my albums also have Folder.jpg in the folder with all of the WMA files. If I remove the embedded image (and leave only Folder.jpg) then everything works fine in MCE. If I remove Folder.jpg (and leave the embedded image) then I get the standard placeholder image in MCE.

Does anyone have any insight as to whether this is a problem with the way MC 11 stores album art inside WMA files or is this a problem with the way MCE is trying to retrieve the image?

Regards,

This may be the result of having album art embedded in tags, or conflicts between folder.jpg and AlbumArt*.jpg files.
