I have no problems now with WMP11 displaying album art, and have managed to
stop it from "updating" it with its own low-res covers.

However, when an album is a 2-disc set (folders 'disc 1' and 'disc 2' are
stored in the parent album directory), WMP does not look in the parent
directory for the folder.jpg. I have to copy this file into both disc 1 and
disc 2 folders for it to read it.

Is there a way to get WMP11 to display album art from the parent directory
if none is present in the file directory ?

Use this to tag files directly instead of folder.jpg
