So, why would you want to do it manually? Sometimes however hard you try, Microsoft’s media player won’t be able to locate the right artwork for some of your music albums. Maybe you’ve got a rare (or older) album that can’t be matched to an image. Perhaps it’s a local band that hasn’t released their album through a professional record label. If it isn’t available in the online resources that WMP 12 uses, then it will likely come up with the best match or even empty-handed. And, on some occasions, there can be so many irrelevant results that you end up giving up altogether. When this happens the best thing to do is manually update them using a downloaded image file. You can find a lot more images online and will probably find the correct one rather than using WMP 12. But where do you get these images from? There are Websites on the Internet that specialize in music album cover art. For a look at some of the best to use, check out our guide on downloading free album art. All you need to make sure of is that the image is in one of the following formats:
