wmp helpsIf you are still plagued with album art not updating, fear not.  You can still use a trusted friend to help.  Windows Media Player can and will look up missing album art for you, and you can even use it to paste in your own.  In most cases, it will even fill in missing metadata.  Let's hope MS is working on putting this functionality back into the Zune Software since this was a feature in the original...

that's weird... My Zune software also uses 50 cent album art for albums that are not by 50 cent... it's just a different 50 cent album.

If you are still using the zune software to update album art you don't have to save the graphic to your HDD. If you use a site like discogs.com to find album art you can just copy and paste the URL in the input field and your art will be updated.

Wow. That is incredibly weird. I had the same 50 Cent issue with my library. Must be something in the code [smiley=laugh]

One problem I've noticed with using WMP, however, is that Zune often won't update the tags right away. You typically have to drag the physical files into the software, which will force it to update.

But WMP does't update my mp4-Files [smiley=sad]

Nice, the zune software even auto updated everything for me once i stuck in the album art.

morons, why did microsoft take it off in the first place? i had the zune and was constantly struggling to keep my library in order so i just gave it away. they're stupid for having users to use another program on something so simple.

Hope you didn't buy an iPod. I have an iPod, a Zune, and a Sansa. The iPod software and the Zune software combined have destroyed my library. I'v had to restore it about 5 times now...
