WMP12's default view is the Library view, once you set up a playlist you can switch to visualization view manually. That's just how WMP12 works.
However, if you keep playlist files on your computer, assign them to WMP as the default program for handling those files. With a simple double-click in Windows Explorer, WMP should start in the visualization view by default, and show album art for each item in the playlist.
I do not use WMP anymore and have it disabled, so this is coming from a memory of back when I actually used it. As far as I know, there is no other option/setting/"fix" and/or hack that can change this. | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire V3-531G OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel B960 Sandy Bridge (2.2GHz, 2MB L3 cache) Motherboard Intel® HM77 Express Memory 6GB DDR3 Graphics Card nVidia GeForce GT630M with 1GB dedicated VRAM + Intel HD Sound Card Integrated audio with 2xHigh Definition Dolby® v4 speakers Monitor(s) Displays 15.6" HD LED Acer CineCrystal™ (high-brightness 200-nit) Screen Resolution 1.366 x 768 (WXGA) Keyboard Acer FineTip & MultiTouch Touchpad Case Custom Midi Tower Hard Drives 500GB SATA Other Info HDMI, VGA D-sub, USB 3.0, 2xUSB 2.0, RJ-45, 2x3.5mm audio (1x headphones, 1x microphone), card reader 5-in-1, Acer InviLink™ Nplify™ IEEE 802.11a/g/n, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth™ 4.0 + HS |

It has never done it since i had it.I have to do it manually! Sorry but first you say, "It used to play all the time" now you say "It has never done it" One or the other, which is it?
