| 561196 | 2007-06-21 01:26:00 | I just know I'm gonna open the fiery doors of hell here asking about WMP...but is there any way to increase the size of the album art in the NOW PLAYING screen in WMP10? :confused: |

| 561197 | 2007-06-21 01:30:00 | What you need to do is google the album name, find a pic of the album cover the size you want, chuck it somewhere and then use the advanced tag editor to select that pic and use it as default. also make sure WMP isn't set to overwrite album info automatically if it finds updated info off the net. It's a bit gutting but the data providors only give you tiny pics. running at 1600x1200 they are VERY small indeed. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 561198 | 2007-06-21 01:30:00 | You could probably increase the size of the album art but you will loose the picture quality since you will still be working with the same sized image file. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 561199 | 2007-06-21 01:34:00 | Or do what I do sometimes, scan the front of the CD cover (thats if u have it), and put it in whatever program. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 561200 | 2007-06-21 01:36:00 | QUOTE winmacguy yes thats possible too... you'd have to select 'show hidden files' find out where WMP hides it's album pics and resize them, but as winmacguy said the quality will be reduced to a pixelated mess:( |

| 561203 | 2007-06-21 05:41:00 | If you have iTunes you can download them from there too; you can then drag the art out of iTunes and onto your desktop. I don't use WMP but presumably you could drag the new art in there too. I'm not certain, but the iTunes art may be better quality as most of the time it comes directly from the record companies and isn't scanned from the front of the CD booklet. |

It is also easier to flick through your CD selection when it is playing as well. |
