I always keep album art active on the screen. It is much easier to identify a song through album art. I am having a large list of songs and all of them belong to different album. I was using Windows Media Player 11 before and it was working well. Later on I upgraded the same to Windows Media Player 12. After upgrade the album art is screwed up. Nothing was visible. I am using a 64bit version of Windows 7. I did not like the interface of windows 7 also. It is not complicated to get the old settings back. What are the settings that can fix the album art listing.
