I used to be able to use Groove Music to alter the album art of music I had purchased that for some reason was missing that data; and recently discovered that when I went to do this again, the option to 'Edit info' or even 'Find album info' was no longer present thus I was unable to change the art.
Anybody know if they changed how this is done, and if so, how can I go about doing this now?
Delayed response: I regularly use A VERY
ROUND-ABOUT method for adding album art,
FWIW. It's antiquated and probably directly impossible for others, but it works. Again, FWIW, for some; for others, the basic image/copying approach probably has broader application.
FIRST, I still use
Zune on a
Windows 7 Intel NUC to rip CDs and organize my owned music, on which I rely daily, especially since I cancelled my Spotify Premium subscription last month. Second, I copy all my ~70GB of owned music to SD cards installed on my daily Lumia 950, and a Sony XZ1 Compact that is my just-in-case backup and a next-regular music player running mostly VLC because it plays, like Groove, my lossless WMA files; and, I use Zune to edit every music tag. Zune rips album art accurately for 90 percent of my rips. I still use "Find Album info" for albums when the tags are missing/missed, erroneous, or otherwise not what I want. Zune still finds info for standard albums, but not for rare or some newer albums. For edit needs, I, again, use Zune to edit. For album art, I find an album image on line, save it to my desktop, and then in Zune, I right-click the album's absent or wrong-art image, then click Edit and the "CHANGE IMAGE" button, copying the saved image. This on-line-image is my basic source/method and would probably work with other software.
