XBMC I found to have wierd library structures, WMP just doesnt work, no config options and ignores any settings you make. I purchased J River Media Center, utter tosh, again didn't do what is said on the tin, buttons and scripts that didnt work all over it.  I could go on...All I wanted was software that looked in 3 folders I have setup; Movies, Music, Pictures and display whats there! How hard is that!So first hurdle overcome, well done MP! On to my questions:1 Having learnt from using mptagthat that there are different size cover art pictures stored against my music albums (really how many should there be! some of my albums now have 4 or 5 pictures (all the same but different sizes) attached.) I realised there could be something I have done wrong as only 2 out of all the albums show a small cover art image in the list view of albums. If you go into each album then the cover art is shown correctly. I have checked the 2 album / images details that work but cannot see any difference to the rest? Can anyone advise? This problem is the same in the default MP display and streamedmp plugin. (It occurs to me that surely one large coverart image 500X500 could be used and scaled rather than storing various different sizes of one image?)I have been through the whole music library one by one with mptagthat to try and get all the correct tags and coverarts set up.(In an attempt to "give back to the community" for any newbies out there I would offer this advice, when using mptagthat firstly rename the files, then lookup from internet, imo the quickest way to re tag music <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /> (is there a batch option? I couldnt find one).2 I am trying to understand the relationship between the standard MP display and the various plugins and skins. Is a plugin like moving pictures meant to be selected from the plugin menu every time you start MP or is there an option in the config to make it default? kind of a like when you apply a skin.Apart from that it all works pretty well for now, remarkably intuitive.Edit, My system specs / setup arent appearing in my post...MP1.1.2.0 , streamedmp skin, moving pictures plugin,  windows 7.ThanksHere are some pictures to assist explaining question 1<a href="http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8897/mp1ad.jpg" target="_blank">http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8897/mp1ad.jpg</a><a href="http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/285/mp2a.jpg" target="_blank">http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/285/mp2a.jpg</a>Thanks again</blockquote>
