Add album art to music in your music library
Windows Media Player does a good job of automatically finding images to fill as your album art when in the library view. However, sometimes it doesn’t work and can’t find it. But if you can find the album art cover on the Internet, you can easily paste it into the library item and it’ll stay there.
- Go to Start
, All Programs, then Windows Media Player. - In the Library tab, find a song or a track from an album which doesn’t have album art, and just has an image saying “Paste Art Here”.
- Search the web for an image which you find acceptable to place as the album art.
- Right click the image, select Copy.
- Go back into Windows Media Player, right click the blank album art, and select Paste Album Art.

The instructions are simple, but they only tell half the story. If you have converted and downloaded old vinyl to your computer, chances are that the ablum art may not exist on the web. In that case,if you have scanned the original album art to your computer you can use the same instructions, only go to your “My Pictures” or other file to get the image.

The images are kept in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player. Clean up the directory if you want to go back to the initial state.
