There are 3 possible ways in getting the album art for your music album.
- Album art may be obtained from the online Music CD database that Windows Media Player uses.
Note: Not all music albums have album art available in the online CD database.
- From the online music store where you purchased your songs or albums, the album art may be downloaded along with your purchase.
- You may also create your own album art by transferring your
favorite jpg photo into the selected album folder and rename it to Album
Art.jpg.
