My WMP is messing up

[bru]

I truly wish I could roll back WMP to when I never used it but I can't.

Somehow now whenever I open it any music that does not have artwork associated with it is given a random album cover. These previously had a "music note". This cover is applied to ALL music except those that have artwork as part of the file.

The next time I open it it will apply a different album cover. This just started as I was trying to figure out why my music folders in explorer weren't displaying artwork properly. Somehow I changed a setting or something. Please help.

A good place to start would be to rebuild your WMP library. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/114791-windows-media-player-rebuild-corrupted-libraries.html?filter[2]=Media

That didn't work. As it rebuilt the library it still would do the same crazy thing of putting the same album cover on every album that didn't have artwork.

I found a way to "reset WMP to it's initial settings. To the point where you get the set up screen. This is something I had been trying unsuccesfully to do since this thread:

Very strange what was going on but crossing fingers that this solved it. But if it ever goes bad again I know how to reset it and that should always work.

That's a shame. I hope your reset works better.
