Windows Medial Player: Incorrect Album Art
Hate to be That Guy again, but I ran into another problem recently using Windows Media Player (the old-style one): I'm seeing incorrect album art for some of my albums.

Here's what I've been able to figure out: the problem only affects albums with the same name as another album, even if they have different release years.

As an example, these three albums (in the form of Artist - [Year] Album Name) are all showing the same album art (the one for Eric Clapton)
10,000 Maniacs - [1993] MTV Unplugged
Alice in Chains - [1996] MTV Unplugged
Eric Clapton - [1992] MTV Unplugged

Notably, none of the albums have the Album Artist tag set, and instead remap the Artist field. If I explicitly set they have different Album Artist tag, they show the correct album art in the WMP Library view after a MinimServer rescan.

Also, this only seems to affect WMP. I also use Bubble UPnP on Android, and that shows the correct album art everywhere currently.

This is an issue where I can update my tags as I find problems, but I figured you would like to know - and if a fix is easy, then that would also be great!

Here's my current profile. I'm running update 253, though this behavior appeared before then.
Code:
aliasTags = OriginalDate:Date
contentDir = /volume1/Music/MP3
displayName = Ulthar Music
indexTags = All Artists, Artist, Date, Genre, Composer
itemTags = Performer
tagFormat = Artist.displayFormat={}
tagOptions = Album.sortTags={Album, Artist}, all.ignore.sort={The}
tagValue = Performer.default={Artist}
upnpCustom = multiTag={Performer}, roleTags={AlbumArtist, Performer}
.profileVersion = 2.2
