How exactly does Album Art works in the F10?

mlai · 05-15-2011, 04:37 AM

I am frustruated! My music collections are in WMA format and I have album arts for all the song when played thru windows media player 12 and media Monkey.

However, when I copy the music to a USB flash drive and played in the F10, the album arts fails to show up on screen!

Is there any trick to this working?

Many thanks for helping!

check if the artwork files are actually embedded to the file. I know iTunes will usually embed artwork to the file itself, but sometimes iTunes shows the artwork within iTunes, but the file itself does not have artwork embedded.

I used a program

It just scans all your I tunes library and embeds all I tunes worked good for me

check the id-tag of wma files, if you can't see the album art, it's not embedded.

Thanks, from MediaMonkey, it shows that the Album art is attached to each wma file......

that's weird... maybe idrive does not support album art on WMA?

Use mp3tag http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html it works just fine to place the album art into the meta tags of the files (including wma).

I used Music Bee, and added album art to every file. Then I finaly got this to work with WMA.
