Vista - About My Music and album art..

About My Music and album art..

I like to have all my music files in one folder for easy browsing (rather
than sorting into, for instance, "My Music >Rolling Stones >Some Girls", I
want to just open 'My Music' and see what's available).

Problem is, Windows Media Player likes to put any and all album art into 'My
Music', right after Alan Jackson. Is there a way to change where WMP11 stores
its default files?

extra info: I'm running WinVista Home Premium; also, I'm pretty positive I
could just hide the files from myself by turning on 'hide system files and
folders', but I'd rather that be a last resort >_>.

Thanks!

Forgot to ask: Is it as simple as changing what default folder is used to rip
CD's into?

WMP will not rip to just one folder, if that's what you're asking. You
could move them there yourself, but that's not how WMP's organizational
systems would work best.
