rudrax Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 By default, mp3 files display the album art (if present) instead of icon. But I hate that. How to get rid of that.P.S. I'm not talking about removing the album art from the media player while playing the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeetPirate Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 You might have to go into folder options and enable the always show icons, never thumbnails option. But the thumbnails are cached in windows so then you have to delete the icon cache and reboot for it to actually disappear. Try this guide for how to rebuild your icon cachehttp://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want that for mp3 files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Sort only the folder containing those mp3 files into List / Details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yeah, you also want the size to remain unchanged - let me upload a screenshot (caesarean section shall be required.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Is this what you're looking for - I've deliberately mixed it up to make my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yes, exactly. I don't want the Jesus album art to be displayed and I want big icons not in list/detail view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Alright, just use any Tag Editor program to delete the File cover art from the music files - I prefer Tag&Rename. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 28, 2013 Administrator Share Posted March 28, 2013 Recently, I noticed that Windows 8 Manager has an option to completely disable this album art from being downloaded - check it out. :)Customization > Customize System > System tab > System Settings > Disable Album Generation in music folder.This is of course only useful if you have use Windows Media Player or have clicked it by mistake. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zex Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Tick this checkbox and apply. However, it will remove the thumbnails for all icons you have(pictures, music, videos, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
