    Hi to all of you! I'm having troubles with Windows Media center. 1) When I starting to use WMC, I make a scan of my computer so it lookk all my mp3's. Was ok. But then I aupdate some of them (my mp3's) wiht the correct album art. But when I get into WMC again, I look that not all the mp3's was apdated, just a few ones. The others maintain the cover art from the begining (when I make the first scan). Also those mp3's don't have cover art at this time, but WMC asign another cover art from another mp3's. So My question is why I can't update those tracks. I go into WMP and delet it from library, then update and scan again, but nothing happens. I'm using mp3tag editor to update my mp3's (info and cover art) 2) few weeks ago (I guess when apdate my windows vista home edition (64 bits) to windows vista service pack 2 or 3) if I want to run the setup again in my WMC, I can do it just to Video setup, when I need to press WATCH VIDEO, my WMC crash. I don't know why> 3) Another problem is to make my music library. For example: When you see the tags (ALBUM, SONG, ARTIST, .... ALBUM ARTIST) I have two or more cover arts for the same album. For example I have the CD for Micjael Buble, Call Me Irresponsible, into that CD Michael sing two songs with anothers, Boys II Men and another so In the tag into the mp3 (using winamp to edit) I put ARTIST: MICHAEL BUBLE with BOYS II MEN. But when I see in WMC the tag ALbum, I see 3 times the same cover art, Its ok one for michael alone, one for micheal with boys II men and one for micheal with the other one. But I'M INTO THE TAG ALBUM (just album) so why I see three times? Another example: I have the CD THE BEST OF MTV UNPLUGGED 3. In this CD various artist sing. So If I put the correct name into each mp3, Example ARTIST: SHERYL CROW and another ARTIST: CHRIS ISAAK, when I see the tag album into my WMC, I see twelve same CD cover art, but It's just one album!!! So I think "ok I put the into the artist ARTIST: VARIOUS and will be ok because It a various artists CD" so I do that, but when I see the tag (or folder) named ARTIST in my WMC, Sheryl crow or Chris Isaak (for example) are not shown!!!!! So, how can or how I need to edit to ain ALBUM just see just ONE TIME THE ALBUM, but to be shown correct in each folder ALBUM ARTIST to see the album to each artist,. and the 2 questions above. Thank you for your response and help in advance.

    Have you searched for "album art" problems on the forum and read everything? There are many good suggestions out there.

    Your subject could have been worded better to target the assistance required.

    You can stop Media Player from updating your data after you are satisfied with the bulk of it. There are utilities that will embed the album data and artwork into the mp3 file (avsoft.nl for one, I think) and then rebuild the Media Player database. Then MC will show everything nicely.

    OK thank you for your response. Yes I know about the ac... but I can't use it. I don't know why, I run the setup but then after when I try to load it, nothing happens, a windows apears telling me "av.... is stoping working" maybe is because I'm using windows 64 bits? but looking in internet I found a place to donload the version 1.5.2 specially for windows 64 bits, but is still the same. So I can't updtae my cover art anymore? It seems to be a VERYYY BIG MISTAKE FROM WINDOWS!!!!!!
