How to display album art/lyrics for now playing?

Post by ronniekon »

I used to get the album art for the current track in the lower-right corner (below the play queue), with the lyrics superimposed if I have them, or a Lookup Lyrics button if I didn't have them. That seems to be gone. Everything I find that seems to relate to this references Tools->Options, but there is no Options heading under Tools.

What am I missing?

It's Art & Details which can be enabled from the View menu.

I'm sorry to be dense, but where is the Main menu? I don't have any of what I would consider normal menu tabs (no File, Edit, Help, etc). Should they be there?

Then you may have set it to hidden. Using Alt or Alt+View or clicking in the area left of the tabs and right of the MediaMonkey icon. Once you see the Main Menu you can set it show in the View menu as well.

this doesnt seem to work to cause the album art to show up to the right above the player view. I get how to get album art to show up as small icons in the library view, but it has in the last week removed the larger art view above the player view to the right and i cannot figure out how to get it back. LMK if this shoudl be a different thread.

You're saying that you have the Art & Details window showing? Note that it's a movable window, so if you've moved it in the past it will shown in a different position then left above the Player. Feel free to attach a screenshot.

"You can’t post image, email or url links that are external to this domain. Please remove...."

this Forum does not allow screenshots apparently.

yeah, so the album covers were showing up in the right pane, larger like the black section below the player view, but a few days ago it stopped and I cannot find a way to get the album art to show up at that large size on the right anymore.

You can't post as a new user, but if you add spaces in the url it will be usable for the rest http:// imgbb. com

Is the window itself showing, but not showing Artwork or is the window itself missing?

thank you. So the larger art pane is just missing. I had previously managed to put it where the black space is to the right, btu now I cannot find a way to get it back.

Delete from Registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MediaMonkey\Interface" and it should reset UI. This will start the interface as it was installed.
