Hidden folder.jpg in album folders?
« on: March 11, 2008, 08:43:08 pm »
I'm trying to have an album cover for each of my albums. The problem is that some of them already have covers but I can't see them. I'm only able to know after I put the album cover inside the album's folder when windows asks me if I want to replace folder.jpg I already enabled show hidden files in folder options but I still can't see any jpg's in any  of the folders!

That system they use in WMP is also crap. I Have never understood why they are threated as system files as well, since they are nothing to hide them anyway at all.

You might need to enable to show Windows System files as well, before you can see them.

It's also posible that the jpegs are embeded in the tag. Try Id3-TagIt3 to see the full tag, id3-tagit can also add and remove the pic atached to tags.

I hate those files.

Yep, uncheck those protected system files to see and delete them.
