remove album artwork

[northboy]

in my music all my songs have album artwork,,,but!!!!!!!!!!the album artwork is not the appropriate cover for the song.
ie a track by pink floyd has the album cover of madonnas greatest hits.
how do i get rid of the album artwork and just go back to basics.
thanks

For complete albums the Album art is held as hidden files in the folder.

To delete it you need to display hidden files, then delete the files with names like AlbumArt, AlbumArtSmall, Folder.jpg and desktop.ini.

You can select the album art you want as follows:

1) Open Windows Media Player
2) Find the Album you want to change or add the artwork for
3) RIGHT click and select Find Album Info
4) Press the Search button and search for the album / artist
5) Once you find the album/tracks you want press Next
6) This will display your final selection (sleeve / tracks) press Finish

An album can have multiple versions in different countries, some with extra tracks or different trakcs, so it can take a while to find the right album.

"For complete albums the Album art is held as hidden files in the folder."

The question is about songs, not albums.

For individual songs the artwork is embedded in the files ID3 tag and to change it you need to edit the tag. most media players support tag editing (it's often under file info) or you use something like trim linked to. but as he said there a tons of different options for how you can do it.
