The functionality of Windows Media Connect is now integrated into Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2 for Windows XP as the new Media Sharing feature, which lets you enjoy the contents of your Windows Media Player library from anywhere in your home. * Changes to sharing digital media content. For a listing of online stores that are now available, see Availability of online stores. More online stores are available in this beta release of Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP. * Additional online stores are now available. Fixes have been made for issues that occurred in the first beta release of Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP. IF YOU SWITCH the display to one of the other visualisations WMP will reset the registry keys and when you go back to album art it’ll be small, so you’ll have to close WMP and run the registry file again.The following list highlights some of the major changes since the first beta release of Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP. You can now display different art for different tracks on an album or create your own art in Paint as a 1200圆00picture of both front and back covers alongside each other!ĭO NOT paste art from within WMP as this will overwrite your stored jpgs and the cover tags with 200x200 images. Note that any old 200x200 jpgs created by WMP will look slightly smaller than before. On a screen resolution of 1366x768 a cover of 500-600 pixels square will nicely fill the Now Playing pane so you’ll need to save this sort of size art to the tags or place jpgs in the folder. This can be called folder.jpg or AlbumArt _Large. Several suggestions I found online didn’t work, but this works on WMP 12 with Windows 10 Home, v2004.īy default, in its Library WMP shows a hidden jpg stored in the album folder as a thumbnail. I have finally found a way of displaying my album art much larger in the Now Playing pane of Windows Media Player!
