Adding album art manually
If the wrong album art was downloaded, you can add art manually by using the Advanced Tag Editor in the Windows Media Player. You can also display art files stored on your computer as album art instead of the generic music icon that is used when album art is missing.
To add album art using the Advanced Tag Editor:
1.
In Windows Media Player, click Library.
2.
In the Details pane, right-click the item or items that you want to edit, and then click Advanced Tag Editor. (To select more than one item, press CTRL while clicking the item.)
If the Advanced Tag Editor command is not available, remove the read-only property from the file. To do this, in Windows Explorer, right-click the file, click Properties, and then clear the Read-only check box. If the music file is located in a shared folder on a network drive, ask your system administrator if you have the necessary file and folder permissions to modify the file.
3.
In the Advanced Tag Editor, click the Pictures tab, click Add, and then browse to the picture that you would like to display as album art.
Acceptable formats include:
• .jpg
• .gif
• .bmp
Although any size will work, we recommend that you keep the album art files relatively small (for example, 200×200 pixels), because the larger the art file, the larger the resulting song file.
4.
After selecting the picture, click Open to add the picture as album art.
You can also add additional information about the picture type and description, as shown in the following screen shot.
5.
Click OK to close the Advanced Tag Editor dialog box.
Note
You cannot add art to a radio station playlist file (such as a file with the extension .asx).
