    Hey folks,
    I was just wonderin if anybody was ever havin any problem with there album art in media center? When i view artists and album art in wimdows media player its fine. When i start up the media center software and browse by album......i see the album and album art fine. But for some reasaon, for some artists, when i go to browse by artists and then their albums......albums are missing?!?!? Has anyone else come across this problem?

    Hi,

    Most reliable way to have album art appear in MCE05 is to have the artwork saved in the folder and call it folder.jpg...

    Yes this is a pain...

    I wish it was that easy dalk. But unfortunately thats the way i have it already, but still with the same problem. Anyone else any ideas? When i'm browsing by albums, they're all there. When i browse by artists some of the albums aren't there, even all of them some times, and it says "Select the View Songs button to se songs by...". When i do select view songs, all the songs are there. And i when i play these songs the album art comes up fine. ya get me?

    Ok.. i get ya. No idea then...

    Maybe its related to the bolloxy way MCE uses tags... the old "Album Artist" versus "Artist" tag debacle?

    The Music section of MCE is the least impressive imo..
