Vipa Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 you know how when you rip a CD, the Folder on your computer can have a thumbnail of the album cover on it? where does windows get that from? for some reason, Th Roots have an e-40 cover, John Legend Has some chick i never heard of, and my instrumental folder switches from time to time (IOnce it was some big band aritst, then it was The cover for the magnificent, then big willie style, then some other stuff)... Just outa curiosity so i can fix em all myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesSyde Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 hmm i think it gets the covers from music.msn.com cuz that's where it takes u when u click "Music" on the upper right hand corner of Windows Media Player. however, i think on ur music folders u can do custom album covers by right clicking and then editing the folder options.

sonic1988 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 the CD has data that tells the computer what it is, that is why some portable CD players say the name of the album on it, also some sound systems do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Thanks. Yea, but my instrumentals aren't from CDs. they're from all over the net, and it gets a random image all the time..strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceAngel Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I think that happens when you click on "Find Album Info"...mine used to show the picture of the album cover but now it doesn't do that anymore...I don't know why... :confused3: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
