I have read that 200x200 pixels is about what you want for album art
that you manually put into wmp10...also this is about what it seems to
download and put into your directories.

In the main now playing window if you veiw album art...it is so dang
small. Why wouldnt it be 2 times this size or larger. Why is 200x200
recommended? Any reason?

Also is the Album Artist field important? It wants to reorganize my
files from Artist - Album Name to Album...with all albums by that
particular artist in the artist folder by album name.

Really annoying. Is there a reason for this?

I don't think different sizes of album art were really tested. If you
have a good scan of the album art then it will be too big for WMP to
display - it won't automatically display to fit the screen.

Yes. See http://msmvps.com/thinice/articles/15229.aspx

ya i still dont get it. If the artist and album name are filled out
....what is the need for album artist?

By album artist do they mean albumname artisname....aka abbeyroad the
beatles or do they just mean the beatles for the album artist name as
in who is the artist the created album?

Did you read the link I supplied?

As regards album art size, you *can* go beyond 200x200, as you've probably
noticed. However, that's not advised since devices you may copy the files
to may not be able to play back files that have headers that are too
large...
