Where does album art come from?
The Player downloads album art from an online database where the information is supplied by a variety of non-Microsoft data providers, such as AMG.
The Player downloads album art when you rip a CD. To do so, the Player attempts to match the CD to an entry in the online database. If it finds a match, the Player automatically downloads the media information that is available for the CD, including album art. In addition, the Player periodically scans your library for songs that are missing album art. If it can match a song that is missing album art to an entry in the online database, the Player will download the missing album art. However, if the correct album art is not downloaded automatically when you rip a CD, you can try to match an album in your library with album art in the online database, a file on your computer, or from a webpage.
