Thumbnails

[Mike]

Yes, at first it was all as you say, lately however, it
dosn't bother to create folders at all; but when it does,
it still isn't as it used to be. I have folders, for
example, Ozzy, with multiple songs from multiple albums,
any indeed, there are four different covers on the
thumbnail. However, latly something peculiar has started
happening; for example, my folder for Metallica, again
containing many songs from many different albums, yet
instead of the thumbnail being divided into quarters and
displaying four small covers, it is displaying one cover
only, using the entire thumb. It knows what the other
covers look like cause when I'm in WMP9, those album
covers are in there, as they are plainly displayed once
you click open the main folder as well. I don't understand.

Hello,
What sort of file naming and directory structure do you have? If you have multiple albums in the same folder or songs from multiple albums in the same folder Windows can only display one Folder.jpg as the folder thumbnail. WMP on the other hand will take the album info in the file and display whatever information it finds from the files tags. So to solve this, make sure you have the files for each album in their own folders.
