    Unknown Album/Corruption in WMP12


    Hi,

    Has any1 else hade an issue with WMP12 (build 7048) when manually adding Album Artwork? WMP crashed half-way through the import of an album & I was stuck with a new album called 'Unknown Album'. When opening the album there was nothing there, hover the mouse where the track title should be and it highlights as if it was there but nothing showing (track #, title, artists all gone). Tried adding new information, nothing. It even removed ALL but the track title in the library (including time stamp).

    Searched everywhere on HD and nothing. Had to completely reformat system to clear issue. Seems extreme but i'm somewhat of a perfectionist.

    Issue does not seem apparent on build 7057 but i've not taken the risk yet LOL


    Cheers all

    Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm on W7 RC and I periodically find an unknown album sitting in my music library - it doesn't seem to be as the result of a crash. The only way I know to get rid of it is by deleting the library file and restarting so that WMP rebuilds its library.

    Very annoying! Do you know if this bug has been logged? And how do you log bugs for W7?!

    Thanks.

    Hi psroberts, welcome to the forums.

    This seemed to be a common fault with 7048, I'm running 7227 and have had no issues since 7057.

Album Art corruption

Hi all, I've been having some trouble tagging MP3s. I've got a fairly extensive music collection which I keep properly tagged with Jaikoz and Musicbrainz. But just about everywhere the embedded album art comes up, it's looking corrupted or sometimes just plain black. This is happening in...
No album art WMP12
in Media Center

In WMP11 whenever I ripped an audio CD it would always update the album art for each CD. With WMP12 there is just notes with different colored backgrounds, is there anyway to have it show album art?
