Windows Media Player 11 automatic folder.jpg download issue
Windows Media Player 11 by default will try and retrieve album art
(folder.jpg) from the internet. If it finds it, it will overwrite any pre-existing folder.jpg (even if the pre-existing one is a larger file) as well as create an AlbumArtSmall.jpg file. Having this as a default option is foolish, as the program began to overwrite my scanned-in high-resolution images with crappy low-resolution ones. Realising this, I searched the options for a remedy to this. The tools/options/library tab enables the user to switch off various "Automatic media information updates for files". Great, I thought. However, despite this option being switched off, Media Player continues to carry out this assault of my file organisation rather sporadically. Any ideas? |

First thing to do is take a copy of all your folder.jpgs before you lose them... if you put the following line in a batch file and run it from the top folder of your music collection it will find all the folder.jpgs and make a copy of each called cover.jpg for /r %%i in (Folde?.jpg) do copy "%%i" "%%~dpiCover.jpg" You could then use this batch file to delete any folder.jpgs and albumart files after a wmp11 rescan. attrib -S -H AlbumArtSmall.jpg /S del /S AlbumArtSmall.jpg pause attrib -S -H Folder.jpg /S del /S Folder.jpg and then use the reverse of the first line of code to copy your Cover.jpgs back to folder.jpgs for /r %%i in (Cove?.jpg) do copy "%%i" "%%~dpiFolder.jpg" BE careful with these batch files as if you run the wrong one at the wrong time you might end up crying into your beer...
