Add album art to any music folder


There is a coolest features in Windows, which is album thumbnail generator. It automatically places the appropriate album cover art on the folder to which you are copying music (generally in WMA format). 

But what if you have already copied CDs to the hard drive using MP3 format? 
  1. You can download album cover art from sites such as http://www.cdnow.com or http://www.amguide.com, 
  2. Then use the new Windows folder customize feature to display the proper image for each folder.
But this takes time, you have to manually edit the folder properties for every single folder--and you will lose customizations if you have to reinstall the OS.

There's an excellent solution,

When you download the album cover art from the Web, 
  1. Just save the images as folder.jpg each time and place them in the appropriate folder. 
  2. Then, Windows will automatically use that image as the thumbnail for that folder and, best of all, will use that image in Windows Media Player for Windows, if you choose to display album cover art instead of a visualization. And the folder customization is automatic, so it survives an OS re-installation as well. 
Your music folders never looked so good!
Album cover art makes music folder thumbnails look better than ever!
