Libary and "My" Sections - A step backwards

Submitted by Acta on May 16, 2009 to Aesthetics

Problem: Hello all,

This is my first sugustion, so please tell me if i have got it right or wrong.

My issue is with the "my music" and "music libary" sections, both of which have had some valuable added functionality over vista, but tragically lost one of my favorite functions. Back in vista if you had a layout such as:

[Artist] > [Album Name] > [Song]

Then Song would show the album art as its icon (Win7 still does this, good)
Then the folder icon for the album would show the icons of the music inside (Win7 still does this, good)
Then the album folder would show the icons of the albums inside (Win 7 no longer does this by default, and i cant find a customize option in Music libary, and in My music i can but it still refuses to show album art)

So you can see my problem, i hope.

Solution: Make it so Folders with Folders inside that have album artwork show that album artwork of those folders

Severity: Low

Impact: High

Status: Not fixed
