re: XP/Vista tutorials (w/pics) for Music & Album Art Issues
So this step by step process worked the best for me. I couldn't find the file until I found this bit below. For some reason, even when I opted to show inviible files and folders the album art didn't come up. I had to go through every. single. folder. Thankfully I had a Sunday to do nothing with so. Now after I did all this stuff, it's not perfect by any means but, it's a BILLION times better. The question I have now is does anyone know of an easy way to fix the stuff that isn't right?  For some odd reason the good folks over at MS decided to limit the ways we can edit album information, especially when it comes to being able to just copy and paste album art. What gives with that MS?!?! So yeah, if you know a way please let me know.

Thanks to Cesarisok

Software update 2.1 (build 888.2) provides a fix for the metadata glitch that we’re reading about in these forums – that is, when you upgrade from 1.3 to 2.1, your music collection displays incorrect album/artist/track info when playing on the Zune software. This update resolves that. Here’s how to install:

If you’re still running 1.3:
When you’re prompted for an update via the Zune software, accept it. This updated build – 2.1 build 888.2 - will not encounter the metadata glitch.

If you’ve already upgraded to 2.1
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re already running 2.1, you do not need to install build 888.2 – the software will tell you “you’re already up to date.”

This link will help you recover if you've encountered the metadata issue:  http://support.microsoft.com/?id=945319

The Vista fix worked perfectly for me...

The only other problem I had was that, on a fresh reinstall, it set everything to read-only... A quick attrib fixed that...

Attrib... Boy, am I dating myself ;)

FaceFrench, if you did not upgrade from version 1.x, you won't have that file. That was the database file name with the original version.

re: XP/Vista tutorials (w/pics) for Music & Album Art Issues

I have Vista... I set up to view hidden files like you said.. My problem is that I do not have a file called CurrentDatabase_365.wmdb . 

When I loaded all of my music cds on to begin it worked fine.. Album art was all good.  I then was fooling around with a program that would convert dvd's to zune videos.  I received errors regarding my zune and it would close my zune software... It also said to debug and I did this... I guess I shouldn't have because it took all my album art away.  It is still good on my zune but not on computer and I can't get it back...anyone know how I can?  I tried this but like I said I don't have this file to rename it CurrentDatabase_365.wmdb

 

HELP!

re: XP/Vista tutorials (w/pics) for Music & Album Art Issues
Okay, I've tried everything on this list, twice. Whenever my album art updates the vast majority of the art is from a single album (last time it was Interpol's Turn On the Bright Lights; I followed all the steps, told it to update my album art, and now they all turned into Billy Talent). I have to be doing something wrong...or something...can I just disable album art? This is getting annoying...

Well, I minimized the Zune program to type this, and when I opened it again, all the albums that were Billy Talent art now changed to  Wolfmother art.

What's going on?

re: XP/Vista tutorials (w/pics) for Music & Album Art Issues

QUESTION: I have tried ALL the fixes listed. Here is MY problem. Back before upgrade, I pasted almost all my album artwork. The resolution was perfect, all the album art was clearly viewable....

Now, since upgrading software, about HALF my artwork shows up super fuzzy, like the resolution is messed up. Since pasting album art is no longer an option, and removing and readding the album, along with all the above fixes dont work...what else can I try??

I've even tried pasting album art in WMP thinking it would cross over to zune but it doesnt :(

HELP! thanks

Has this been made a sticky yet? This should really be a first post so everyone can see it when they log in to the forum.

re: XP/Vista tutorials (w/pics) for Music & Album Art Issues

I have this same issue. I also pasted all of my album art in a very easy way in the zune player version 1.  Now when i click update art it just does nothing.   I tried one of the methods above and it worked for one album then decided to do what ever it wants after that.

 

Whole reason for buying the zune was big album art and now I got nothing, Is there any way to get the old version of the zune player back, I really want that
