In addition to Windows Media Player 12 shows wrong cover art when playing I would like to try option 1 from the accepted answer, but I don't know how to protect a folder, i.e. deny rights with ACL. Can anyone provide me step-by-step instructions how to do so in Windows 10?
"Protect" the folder containing the MP3 by creating empty Folder.jpg and AlbumArtSmall.jpg, and then denying write on them with ACL.
