Wrong album art

[Astroredg]

I had the same problem.

Wrong cover files association.

I finally found the solution.

The problem is in the cache.

By default, the cache is located in C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\Temp\ (You can verify, if it that's the case for you in Options\General\Temp Directory)

The cover arts are stored as BMP files in the subfolder MMCache1496748509_1 (at least for me; if it is not the case for you, the file name should start with the same letters)

Check that folder in your Explorer and examine it with the Thumbnails View. Find the covers that have the wrong association and delete them and restrat your MediaMonkey. I've found that is the safest way to operate so as not to dammage the MediaMonkey Database.

Should you want to add cover art, you should use an application like MP3TAG or better yet, Tag&Rename. Ther you will be able to incorporate your cover art (and much more, like the Lyrics) directly in the ID tag of the file (ID3v1 tag or whatever). That way, most audio players will be able to associate the cover arts (and lyrics) as this tagging is integrated within them.

Hope that will help you!

I have the same or similar problem. I have a few jpegs (about 6) in the same folder as some (about 200) of my music tracks. When I play music from that folder the album art for some of the tracks show a picture of Carmen MacRae even though the artist might be Ernesto Cortazar. Every track for which album art is displayed shows the same picture of Carmen MacRae. Some tracks don't display album art. I have stored only about 4 pictures in 4 tracks in my entire library, Now even when I play a track from the above mentioned folder from say a purely instrumental group the Carmen MacRae picture is displayed.

I have looked at C:\users\myname\appData\local\temp\MM.cache.... and it contains just 2 pictures, none of which are of Carmen MacRae. How do I find out what tracks are associated with these 2 pictures?

I even changed the temp folder to something like C:\users\myname\temp - didn't do any good. (Tools > Options > general)

When I tried playing tracks from a different folder I don't have any problem with album art. Only the folder with pictures seems to cause the problem.

For what it's worth I had a similar problem with Windows Media Player - just about any track I played had the same picture.

Using Windows 7, and the latest version of MM

OK I think I know what's happening here with my problem. I moved all of the jpegs out of the folder which has my music tracks to a different folder. Now only the tracks which have album art embedded in them display the album art when they are played. Whew!!
