| 568410 | 2007-07-12 09:18:00 | I just made it so that I can see all files (even hidden system ones) on my computer and noticed a whole bunch of album art files in the My Music folder such as these: AlbumArtSmall.jpg AlbumArt_{7BC6DC16-A9A7-44C7-9FEE-B92ABE2AEE78}_Small.jpg Folder.jpg What is the point of these files, and what will happen if I delete them? Thanks. |

| 568411 | 2007-07-12 09:26:00 | I would imagine that those would be the files that would be used to display the album art in WMP. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 568412 | 2007-07-12 09:36:00 | Oh right, what about iTunes? | Chris815 (10270) | ||
| 568413 | 2007-07-12 09:39:00 | iTunes also uses album art although i am not sure where it stores in Windows since I have never had an iTunes account which is generally where the iTunes album art comes from. You could open iTunes and go through your album art view and see what shows up. (that would be the 3rd button on the top right next to search) | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 568414 | 2007-07-12 09:40:00 | Just leave them there. They may belong to Itunes or WMP if both are installed. |

| 568415 | 2007-07-12 10:54:00 | iTunes may detect the WMP one's and so if you delete them, you might delete them from both programs. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 568416 | 2007-07-16 08:44:00 | I deleted them (before I saw your posts) and the album art is still there on both WMP and iTunes! | Chris815 (10270) | ||
| 568417 | 2007-07-16 09:11:00 | Cool. I must say that the album art in the iTunes cover flow is very cool:thumbs: I am just working on downloading mine from the music store at the moment. The flip through action is very smooth.:) | winmacguy (3367) | ||
