Winamp displaying same album art over and over again.

NicklausJS · 20th October 2012, 03:02

Hello all, I have a hard to fix problem so I am turning to the pro's over her at the forums. My winamp (and my windows media player) displays the same album art picture for several different albums AND artists. It does not do this with all of my 1.3k songs, but it does for a good bit and doesnt seem to have a trend as to what songs an why. All of my music has album art that I have added to it through iTunes(Does not have this problem). I have delete the file of the picture that is being re-used from my album art folder and it still won't work..(I also check iTunes for songs that are duplicated the one album art photo and they do not have two album art covers, just the one that they should have, howver in winamp and in wmp it still displays it.)

what is your storage structure?

..\artist\album\file.mp3

?

embedded art in the tag shows first, then folder art. you might have album art in the folders you can't see b/c windows/WMP tends to hide system/hidden attributed folder.jpg files. you have to adjust the windows options to reveal hidden/system files.

Its just all dumped into one folder I labeled music. My album art folder is the same.
