Windows Media Player 11 Beta:

I have copied an album art (image) from a web page, but when I right click
and select "Paste Album Art" on the missing album art image nothing
happends.

How can I get this to work?

You drag the album art onto the target site, but it doesn't work from
web-pages. Known Issue long before the beta.

Drag the album art to the target site??? What site? Do you mean drag a JPEG
file to the "Paste album art here" icon? Why doesn't copy / paste work?
Paste works from the clipboard so I don't understand why it doesn't work on
data I copied to the clipboard from a web page.

Can anyone explain this?

It's a beta. Album Art features are horribly horribly broken.

You would need to copy the image to disk first. Web pages often have
booby-trapped images, so unless you want your albums to end up with .......
well, unfriendly images, you wouldn't want to do that anyways. =)

If you're just having trouble with album art drag and drop, that is likely a
bug in the beta.
