WMP 12 - Making Album Art Bigger?
Feb 11, 2010
I know this is not very important in the grand scheme of things, but it irritates the crap out of me. When the player is in "Now Playing" mode, using the album art visualization, is it possible to make the album art bigger? When in full screen mode the album art is but a tiny postage stamp on the desktop. I would like to make it larger so it's easier to see. Is there a way to enlarge it, or did the programmers in Redmond not think there would ever be a need to actually be able to see and enjoy the album art?

I have recently bought a new computer, pre-loaded with windows 7. I hate it! It seems to me the most stupid retrograde step Microsoft has ever made. After the simplicity of Win XP Microsoft seems to have taken steps to hide everything they can and make it as difficult as possible for the user to comprehend it and....;. Why oh why have they made everything so small. I usually sit about 500mm from the monitor. Now I am getting a stiff neck peering closely to read simple print. Is there any way I can make it all bigger, as I can with Word and I.e?

how I could make the icons on the taskbar bigger.. the only option under 'right click' -> 'properties' is to make them smaller.. the other option under "Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display" makes everything big..

I have recently purchased a larger drive than my existing 300gb unit, which I would like to move to a new build.
I have tried to restore the disk image to my larger drive but the recovery disk cleverly assigns the 300gb drive as the drive to install on.
Is there some simple way in which I can tell the disk image to install onto the bigger hdd without having to do a clean install, which I was holding back till SP1 came out?

sometimes, all of a sudden my mouse cursor gets bigger, like, twice the size. it doesn't look pixelated or edgy. it just doubles in sizes. my current work around is to go to "change how mouse pointer looks" select the aero_arrow file and hit apply. then the mouse is cursor is back to normal.

I wondering if anyone can help answer a problem I am experiencing with using Windows 7 own backup tool.
I have two 500GB hard drives in my system. Drive 0 is partitioned with 390 GB as the C: drive containing Windows 7 and user data, the remaining space is unallocated ready for me to install Ubuntu 9.10. Drive 1, as D:, is the full 465.8GB and is planned to store backups. Before my initial backup this drive was empty.
In the past I've used Acronis to backup, but my version is old and before purchasing the latest version I thought I would try Windows own backup as I have got the impression that it's pretty good.
However, backing up my C: to D: takes up more space than I expected it too.
C:
Size: 390GB
Used: 185GB
Free: 205GB
D: after initial backup (drive empty before then)
Size: 465.76GB
Used: 320.01GB
Free: 145.75GB
Is there something I doing wrong? or is there a reason why it is nearly twice the size? I chose the recommend option and let Windows decide what to backup, was that the wrong decision?
If it helps these are the three files/folders I see at the root of D:
MediaID.bin, WindowsImageBackup and LIANLI-QUAD (my computer name)

How do I make the page on WORD get smaller? I was using the laptop mouse touchpad and all of a sudden the page went to about 250 percent. This si not my laptop and I'm not familiar with it - I can't seem to find any way to get the page back to a 100 percent view.

I have a netbook with a 10.1 inch screen, and a 22inch LCD display panel. When I connect my netbook to the display, the words seem too small at 1920x1080 resolution. If I set the font size to 125% or 150%, then it would be too big once i unplug my external LCD and use the netbook's 10.1 screen. Setting the 22 LCD to a lower resolution makes the text look very blurred, so that's not an option.
Is there anyway/script/program to automatically change the font size when I connect/disconnect the LCD screen?

WMP 12 has automatically created a playlist for, it seems, every album in my library. It displays these in the central details pane when I highlight playlists in the navigation pane. This makes it difficult to find the playlists which I created myself (eg those containing a selection of tracks from different albums or a link to a radio station). The ones I really want to find get lost amongst all the albums. Is there a way to get rid of the 'album playlists' which WMP created, or to have them not show? The same issue occurs on both my main PC and my laptop. I don't see the point of these 'album playlists'. When I want to play an album I can look at the albums view of the library and play the album from there. I tried deleting them but they were created again the next time I restarted WMP.

WMP is showing music library at opening, but it won't load any album art. It's a bit complicated to explain the problem exactly, so I will post some screenshots that you can get what I'm saying.
1) I open WMP, and at it's set to Library => Musc => All music, but it wont' load any album art. I see album name, artist, and everything else, but no album art. I tried to wait, but even after hour or so everything's still same.
2) I go to album submenu (or any ohter), and than it shows album art normally.
3) After that, I go back to All music, and then I can see album art there, as well.

I'm looking to buy a net book pretty soon and what I want to do is reformat the hard drive, then reinstall windows. Reason being I want to get rid of all the stupid pre installed software that comes with it...that stuff drives me nuts. Of course, net books don't have a CD drive.

I know they are hidden and i have a lot of duplicates and what no and want to have a good clean up and possibly grab as much artwork as possible without going to google and going through the sordid take of finding them again.Now i know mine are all hidden and not embedded because a while ago i was using Recuva and did a full scan of hard drives and the first info it pulled up was the folders for the music with the album art showing but of course no music.Is this possible, after looking on google, i just seem to find people saying about un-hidding normal folders.

Only problem is that when a new visualizaation is selected, it fails to take. I especially liked the "Batttery" series used in WMP 9 . But when I try to select it in WMP12, there is a non-functional scroll window displayed that will not allow you to see, let alone select the version of Battery that I want to see.

I need to force media player to use the internally stored album art and not use the folder.jpg file. For the way I have my music organized, I keep more than one album in a folder and WMP ends up with the wrong album art.

Does windows 7 feature a program that would separate tracks on a cassette that I downloaded on to my computer? I downloaded it but now I want to separate and name each track. I apologize for not knowing all the technical names of what I am trying to achieve. I am a senior citizen trying to preserve my cassettes.

I'm having very frustrating issues with my music library and trying to organize it to have the right album artwork. Here's the scenario below. Typical scenario1. Under the library tab every single option is unchecked, specifically "Retrieve Additional Information from the Internet" = UNCHECKED2. Browse to a folder containing 45 mp3 files. 44 are from one album. The last one is from another band with no album artwork. So it should display the generic music note symbol when I play it in WMP 12 correct? Well it DOES do this if I open it up first. HOWEVER IF3. First file opened in WMP creates a folder and AlbumArt jpeg.4. Subsequent files opened in that folder now use these jpegs displaying the wrong image for the mp3 file.Here's the thing, I do not want to keep occurring. WHY is it happening.ow do I make it stop most importantly of all? my media library littered with jpegs, I like my files to be portable with any art included within the file.NOTE: I've even tried making the entire Music folder "Read Only" which I think is very extremely and a higly retarded "solution" but at this point I'm so fed up I'm willing to try anything. However the "Read Only" option is a bunch of sh*t. It doesn't work. The folder.jpg is still being created by WMP and Windows 7 after I play a song within that folder.

I have seen this pop up a few times and have no idea why and/or how to make it stick. Occasionally, the file type is in the lower-right corner of the album art. This has been added on the fly by WMP12. How to configure this?

I have removed all the album art (pictures) using mp3tag and now there are no images showing in map3tag. I have also deleted VLC player's album art cache. I also made sure that no folders were hidden having those images by showing system protected hidden folders and all. But I don't know from where vlc again get the album art. I don't know where those images are. I removed them from mp3tag, mp3tag does not show them anymore.
They are not hidden anywhere, I checked everywhere. I cleared VLC album art cache which was hidden earlier and also run ccleaner. If I select vlc to load album art manually in privacy setting under interface. Than it does not show. But my concern is that when i have nowhere those images in my pc from where vlc get them. I want to see album arts but not for all songs, few are bad looking. How to find out where are those images.

All my music is in MP3 format which I play through Media Monkey. Sometimes MM displays the album cover and sometimes it doesnt. Is there free SW which can scan my albums and then add the album cover? and once the SW gets the album art will it show in all other music apps (ie Win Media player, Win amp etc).

All i want is my ability to send pictures via windows explorer with the right click feature, then to resize them and then send them. Now when it gets ready to send it says some stuff about Skydrive, about some photo album and wants me to log in somewhere. I don't want any of that. I want the old tried and true method I had under plain jane Windows Mail before. How do I make WLM 2011 behave like the old WM? I just want to select, resize and send the way it used to work under WM!!!!!

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.

For some reason my WMP12 has stopped autofinding album information when i put the cd in and I have to right click on the cd and 'Find Album Info' manually for each cd... It used to do this automatically, and even after searching the settings and options panels I can't get it to work again.

I have a huge collection of .m4a itunes plus music and mp3 recently a strange problem arised when i moved my whole music folder from one drive to other in smae hard disk.i dont think this caused this issue where my mp3 album artwork show fine but the artwork of .m4a files do not appear in windows explorer.This is how some of them show when in folder view But when i enter into the folder no artwork.i can see the artwork when playing in windows media player or any other music player.I tried this method and all options are perfect with no change
Try and delete you thumbnail cache,
Click the start button on your taskbar, type in the little explorer box, disk cleanup and hit the enter key,
Once windows completes,check the thumbnails section and temporary files sections,and click on okay,
Confirm Yes delete these files.
Reopen your music library,
Click on organize on the top left,
Go to the view section and uncheck the top box,always show icons and never thumbnails,
click on the top Apply to folders button,
Then click on apply and okay.Adjust the thumbnails sizes, hold the ctrl key and use your mouse wheel to increase there sizes.These steps didn't work and also tried this fix.If the problem is in shmedia.dll , then it�s time for some repairs.
1 � Download Shmedia.dll OR ( Direct Link )
2 � Extract and Copy Shmedia.dll to %windir%system32 (c:windowssystem32 )
3 � start > cmd >R.Click>Run as administrator
4 � copy and paste these commands in order shmedia.dll was missing so i downloaded it and registered by above method but still i cant get .m4a thumbnails working
i can see in registry where shell extension option is missing some of the file types HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
