I just started converting a lot of my old cassettes to MP3s. I really like
the way Media Player puts the Album cover on the folder. However, It does
not do it all the time. I have some albums where every song in the album has
an album cover in Media Player, but the folder is only manila. How can I get
all my folders to display an album cover of the album in that folder?

Place an image called folder.jpg in the folder and XP will use that.

I use media player and "Find Album Info" That always places the album cover
on Media Player and sometimes / not always on the folder cover (all songs in
the folder being from the same album)

Yes, but I'm not sure what that has to do with my response.

The "Folder.jpg" image should be located in the Album folder, and ideally should
be at least 200 x 200 pixels. You can find artwork on http://www.amazon.com/
