Best option is to use a program on your PC that can put the album picture in the MP3 file headers. That's what WMP11 does on the PC either automatically (it downloads from allmusic.com) or manually (you can paste any image as album cover).
Once the picture is in the MP3 headers, WMP on the pocketpc will show it while playing.
i've tried but not work
It will also display the cover art if it is saved as folder.jpg in the album's folder, just like desktop Windows Media player does.

seems to be the only way. what a hassle.
i use mediamonkey to embed the album art into mp3 and wma files
why cant wmp jus show the embedded picture?
is there any other music software which will do this simple task?
what would be ideal is a music software which showed embedded album art, turned on bluetooth and auto-connected to the ad2p headphones and also turned on auto-answer for all calls and set the device volume... anyone know somethign that does this!?
Does anyone know what I need to do to get album art to display in the Music Player ? I have tried placing image files in the same folder as the music and have tried naming them with the name of the Album and also with the name "Folder" all to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Rename the "Folder.jpg" to "hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg".
If you use itunes just drag an image into the album art box on the show info dialog box then copy the mp3 files to the phone. You can select all the songs in the album and do them at the same time. Don't use itunes' built in get album art feature, it doesn't work. I drag and dropped them from amazon.

Is "hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg" the folder I need to find in order to solve my problem detailed in the link below? If so, where can I find the damn thing to empty it?

Or use something like Media Monkey - Download Here. It's free and works for me.
I had a similar problem with my touch pro - ie i synced my music via windows media and the artwork never appeared. However, after inserting my memory card into the Touch HD, strangely all the artwork appeared! Not sure why it didnt show on the touch pro, but i guess its the same issue with the HD?

I put directly album art in each mp3/aac file with mp3tag software (i do it in batch for album). I have no pb to see it in htc music player.

How do you use MM to put the album artwork in place though? I've taken my micro SD card, put it in my PC, added it to MM library and then a few tracks I've selected auto tag from Web. When it asks about album artwork I've selected to store it in the tag. The artwork shows in MM, but when I put it back in the HD it seems to have not worked

Been at this for hours today but so far this worked for me . . . .
I took the SD card out and put it into my PC via a micro reader - went to the 'My Music' folder on my SD Card. Made sure I was using MM from this point on. . .
Then I Right clicked on a track - chose 'properties' then went to the 'Album Art' tab - to check that the art has indeed gone there. I then went to my SD card - making sure that 'Hidden Folders' were displayed and deleted the 'once hidden' existing art files stored in the same folder as the MP3's. Shoved the SD card back into the HD and it worked ok.
My problem was that I had different art for the back and front artwork which was causing confusion both for me and the HD but I've learned that there is a lot more potential info stored on MP3 tags than I previously realised.
Nope, that doesn't work for me I still get the htc standard image.
When I put the memory card in the PC it could see the album art by the HD apparently can't?
Anyone else got any ideas?
How to get proper Album Art behaviour in TouchFLO 3D on Blackstone
So, just to make it even cleared:
Code:
SD CARD
--My Documents
----My Music
-------Artist
-----------Album
---------------Track 01.mp3/wma
---------------Track 02.mp3/wma
---------------Track 03.mp3/wma
---------------Track 04.mp3/wma
.
.
.
---------------hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg
hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg needs to be a 256x256 pixel image.
Do the same for other albums, there will be NO problem at all.
A good practise is to back up all your music from SD card to PC, delete everything music on SD card and recreate your music library from scratch, this time respecting what I outlined.
Cheers!
EDIT: Do not use embedded album art (i.e.: embedded pictures in tags) as it will only mess things up. Clean audio files with hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg file in album folder, together with the audio files.
EDIT 2: There are some Manila versions that use Folder.jpg as an album art reference. Other versions use ~htc_Albumname.jpg files. I've found this solution I described above to be the best solution.

Sorry mate but will post again if I come up with anything as some of the album art on my HD remains incorrectly associated with the respective MP3 and therefore needs further investigative work.
Perhaps someone more aware of the internal machinations of WM 6.1 & the Touch HD will be able to direct us to where the phone actually stores the info used by TouchFlo in relation to Album Art & MP3s.

You can find that info in Application Data\HTC\Audio Manager.
If you use my method and copy and organise files the way I described it (by simply copying them to device, via USB Storage Mode), there will be NO problems.
I have 50+ albums from 20+ artists and I keep changing the content, it updates on the fly, not a single glitch.
There is for sure a bug in the cover art of touchfow3d. It should use the embedded images in the MP3, but it does not. It will do that for only one file and all other files within that folder get the same cover art.
Of course you can work around this by grouping an artist/album in the same folder, the problem is that in my case I prefer the folder ordering done in time. It's of the 90's, 91's, 92's and so on.
Apparently the software thinks we all group our songs in albums so no need to scan the other files in that folder. Just reuse the same image found on the first MP3. I consider that a bug...
At present I don't store 'albums' on there, just individual tracks that I like, so this is a bit of a pain in the bum.
Setting up a folder for each track would be rather annoying...

Agreed - whole albums are something I store on my 80GB iPod not my phone.
However, as this is a 'bug' then it means I can stop trying to find a solution & just put up with naff album art being displayed alongside the MP3 being played. For me it's a minor issue on a phone that I am, overall, impressed with so far.

Even if you have singular files (rip from CD or whatever) and you update Album information from most players, they will regroup the in Artist\Album\Track order. Try to follow this.

OK - I couldn't resist and did exactly as you suggested. I did the following :
- created a folder in 'My Documents' on the SD card called 'My Music'
- for each track I created a folder named with the artists name
- inside the artists name folder I made another folder with the album name
- finally copied the track into the album folder
and all appears to be fine. I used Media Monkey to find and attach the album art to the MP3 and so far the correct album art is being displayed along with the correct track.
Thanks for the tips tnyynt - much appreciated & as all my other tracks (on my itunes/ipod) are already in the artist/album/track format then adding files will be a lot easier from now on - I just wont be able to drag and drop individual tracks into a single folder & expect the HD to organise itself.
What are the chances someone might find a 'fix' to this 'bug'? I really don't fancy all that messing about to be honest. Each time I have a few tracks I want to add, I have to be creating all those folders too
Hi. I'm new to this so apologies if this problem has already been answered. I've bought and installed a 16GB sd card in my HD2 and have transferred a fair bit of music to listen to. However media player is playing albums in an incorrect order (seemingly random, not alphabetical). When I transfer an album from the sd card to the 'my music' folder on the device, it plays in the right order! I've tried neptune which plays in the correct order but that won't respond to my bluetooth headset (when I press play, it automatically uses media player). Now when I copied and pasted an album onto my device which was also on the sd card, media player displayed the tracks twice in the correct order 1-15 consecutively (1-15, then 1-15 again). I deleted the device version and the sd card version went back to the seemingly random order. Can anyone solve this irritating problem?
Addition
Could I just add that when I say the problem is with windows media player I am reffering to the music player within HTC sense. Please help!
I have the same issue, very irritating , could anybody help please??
A poor solution
Right, until I can better this I'm gonna cut and paste the album I want to listen to from the sd card onto the device.
No
No, that doesn't work
Have the same problem with the HTC music application and Windows Media Player. Pocket Player and Pocket Tunes don't have this problem.
A solution that works!
Right, it's like this. Got to settings>personalize>home screen tabs and uncheck 'music'. Open 'Windows media player' either by playing a song off your music folder or adding a quick link to it. Then click 'library' and get it to scan for al your files. Now use windows media player as your player not HTC sense and it will all be fine. Thank goodness!
is there the same resolution for the HTC player?
Thanks mate. Now I can see it works fine on the Windows media player. but thats a pain to use with those annoying menus. I like the HTC player as its very much like the iphone player & its easy to use. Has anyone found the fix for the HTC player or is there another good working player thats similar to the iphone player.
Cheers

Hasn't anyone found a solution to this silly problem yet?
When you transfer music to the device, it apparently removes any existing track order, yet not every album is out of order when I play it on the HD2! It makes no sense at all.
Using WMP is no solution, I'd rather play the music without order or sit for several hours making playlists for every album.
EDIT: Googling the problem, I found a thread about a problem like this for the HTC Touch Pro, where a solution was proposed:
Found a solution for you...
you will need a registry editor for your HTC Touch Pro. I recommend the PHM registry editor (google it).
Locate the following key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored and modify the key Music Gizmo1 to the path you want the music file to be stored. I created a folder on the SD card named MUSIC and updated the path to \Storage Card\Music then rebooted the phone and all is well. Now I can turn off my phone, pop in the SD card and copy all my tunes over and bam.. I have all my songs at my finger tips. I hope this helps

hi,
if this does not work, i can share my application. It scans your music folder and generates playlists in the correct order.
it uses mp3 and wma tags for cd and track sequence. it works well for me but sometimes you need to clean up tags on desktop before copying music.
I have a 16 gb card as well and all my albums are ordered correctly using playlists instead.
I am sure using media monkey to synch gives you an option to push playlists as well and should give desured results.

Damn, it didn't work. Quite disappointing.
Now how about this app that you mentioned?
And I can't find such a function in Media Monkey, any ideas?
Regarding media monkey please have a look at here:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/tutorial-syncing-music-and-playlists-3761/
You will need to connect the device in usb disk mode and then you can synchronise playlists when uploading tracks.
I will upload the application later on today or earlier tomorrow morning. I would however recommend the option above first as the application I have is picky on the tags and it expects track numbers and disc numbers to be set correctly in metadata.

They are. I'm also picky.
But yeah, the Media Monkey solution does sound smoother, I will try it out.
Thanks.
Hi again,
I have attached the files to this post. I still think, if Media Monkey option works for you thats the way to go. But this little tool helped me with the track order issues I had.
If your files are not in \Storage Card\music folder, you will need to set the location using the botton next to the text box.
Then you need to point the location to save the playlists. For me "\storage card\playlists" worked with every version of manila I used (Polaris, Diamond, HD, HD2)
It only supports mp3 and wma so there isnt much point to add more extensions, however you can remove one to exclude files of that extension.
Once all set up, you need to chose file - > Create playlists and application will scan your files and save the playlists in desired location.
I am using it with 16GB card and on Hd2 its pretty fast.
Here are some limitations:
1 - Extra information is created in the palylist file but still, when you select the playlist in manila player, it does not show fields like artist.
2 - Although some tags are valid, they cause errors in the application. I have some very old track I converted from CD's records mid/late 90s and if I see the issue on the mobile, I just run an application like Musicbrainz Picard to reftesh the tags and it all working again.
3 - If you have multi cd albums and disc numbers are not tagged, the track order may not be correct.
I always use usb mode to copy tracks and for me this tool works good enough to create the playlists the way I want to listen.
Hope it helps someone.
Simple Fix that worked for me
I to had the same problem with CD coming up in the wrong order in the player in HTC sense. When I checked what CD's were in the wrong order I noticed that they were all ones I had purchased off itunes and that the track information wasn't being picked up by my windows desktop. So i converted all my itunes music to MP3s using real player converter and now all of my library is in the correct order.
Hello,
I have the same problem. However, the tags are properly showing in all of these software :
MusicBrainz Picard
Windows Media Player
Windows 7 properties
So the track numbers seem to be correctly assigned. But still, the album tracks don't appear in the correct order for several albums in the HTC audio software.
The playlist utility keeps crashing on me, too.
By the way the HTC support regarding this issue is *terrible*, they keep telling me that the player sorts the music by "last time you played it". Nope. It doesn't. If so, when I play a single track, it would either pop at first place in the album or last place, depending on what they meant in their ballistic explanation (1 sentence). It, obviously, doesn't, and a player acting like that would be the stupidest music player in the world.
Does anyone have a solution ?
Did the "MediaMonkey" solution work,Overlord Yuri ?

I barely tried and didn't have any luck. Since then I've given up..
Oh, okay.
Thank you for your input, anyway.
This thing with the HTC support is starting to get on my nerves, especially how they still try to convince me that the problem will go away if I hard reset the phone (nope, done two times already due to FixOperaFlash ruining my config, and still the music player doesn't work)...
I have figured a work around to the track order problem.
Download mp3tag you can find it on download.com or just google it.
I opend up all my music and looked at the albums that were out of order.
They seemed fine. I just right click on the track and saved the tag. I though why not nothing else seems to work.
I resynced the album and it was in order!
I guess try it out and see if it works.
S**t man , it worked !
HUGE thanks to you !
By the way I just opened the whole library (which was already on the phone), selected all, and clicked on save so it refreshed all tags. And after deleting /Application Data/HTC/Audio Manager/AudioManager_eng.vol so it regenerates the library, it worked like a charm.
Hi, I can get some jpgs to show as album art by placing the image in the same folder as the mp3 but it doesnt always work.
Anyone know why?

Why does putting the jpg into the folder work sometimes and not others?

I would like to know this too , even image that worked in another folder doesn't work in different folder?
i dont understand why the default player only seems to find a few album covers whereas 3 music player finds them all. the id3 tags are a filled in correct. :L
I had to clear out and reset my ID tags and embedded album art multiple times to get the Desire music player to recognise them all.
Album art grabber is great.
i sort of got how it works, it's similar to Sense ui on winmo.
1. Get the cover, small res files are better (500x500 cover is good).
2. Rename the file as: ~hTC_album name.jpg (exact album name with spaces)
3. Copy the cover in the album folder and mark the file as hidden (right click on the file > properties > check hidden).
This one worked for me but some albums still won't get the cover from the folder.
The included HTC Music Player (latest stock TMOUSA ROM) seems to have serious problems with its database.
Of course there are other options--such as the included Windows Media Player, and freeware solutions as TCPMP, commercial music players, etc.
But I like the HTC Music Player, how it plays from your home screen.
I like what happens when one turns the phone landscape, and sees a shuffle of album covers. Is that a gimmick? Yes, but I like it. Kind of fun to choose an album that way, like shuffling through CDs at home, rather than from a list like in WMP.
Yet, the app seems to have serious problems with its database. Although I have tons of music on it (more than 10 GB, all on the storage card), sometimes it cannot see any music at all.
Sometimes it shows no cover art (which is especially crucial for that album shuffle view), although the cover art is embedded in each song, and if one looks at the .vin file that HTCMP put in the folder, the cover art is there too, put there by the app. But somehow, it often doesn't read it. I do the "download cover art" thing, it shows a connection to Gracenote, but some albums never display their cover art, although it is already right there embedded in each song on the album.
What is going on with this app and its database?
Ia there any fix for it?
Is HTC aware of the problem, and working on a fix?
------------------------
While discussing the HTC Music Player, one other thing I am curious about. The phone also includes an HTC Video Player, in the windows folder, but with no link in the start menu to it, so most people will never discover it. (They do call that video player, though, to play the included "Transformers" movies, rather than WMP.) Why did they include their own video player, yet not even have a start menu item for it? Does it have any advantage over WMP for playing video?

As far as the data base goes it has a problem reading large amounts of music. Still on the stock SD card? Is HTC aware of this.....Most likely as it has been a prob from the start, is there a fix....not that I have found. The video player works from the albums tab as it pics up the movies and displays them in that tab.

Yes, I use the stock 16GB SD card. Why? Is there a problem with that?
It is unfortunate, since that album art landscape thing is so cool, yet the HTC Music Player does not see the cover art of many albums, although it itself has created the .vin file in each folder, which is a renamed .jpg of the correct art.
And sometimes it cannot find any music!
I sure wish there would be a fix.
No registry fix or anything, that will help it?

No there really isnt a prob with the stock SD card except it is a class 2 card so it reads and writes slowly, alot of my issues were fixed when I got a 16gb class 6 off ebay. Make sure all your music is in this format, Artist\album. the album art is handled my the id3 tags so make sure those are all set right. there should be 5 .jpg files in each album folder. I have uploaded a folder with the album jpeg files for you to compare yours to so hope it helps
Thanks. I am downloading your 7z file, and will take a look at it. I have only seen one .jpg in each album folder, which the HTC audio database renames to .vin extension.
Most of the time, that ,jpg is the correct album art for that album. Funny thing is, even so, with many albums the cover art does not display.
I have found a solution (in another thread here) to the problem of when one opens the HTC Music Player, go landscape to see all the albums, and it says something like "no music found", then starts a long search for your music.
It seems like the app forgets its databse every time you reboot the phone. Then when you start the music app, and click anything needing access to the library, it then starts searching for your music to put in the db.
If you add a link to the audio manager file (something like audiomanager_en.exe (in the Windows folder) to your \Windows\Startup folder, that will make it recreate the database on startup, so it will be ready when you want to play some music.
Seems an unnecessary waste of memory and boot time though, to have to do that. You don't need to do that with WMP. It remembers its database, and is there and ready when you use it. If you have added music, you can click rebuild library, and it will then rebuild it. But it does not need to rebuild after every reboot.
Makes me think of stopping the use of the HTC music player altogether, and just use WMP or alternatives like TCPMP and Mort. (Although the latter two don't use library at all, don't know why, just files and play lists.)
But there are nice things about the HTC Music Player--its integration into Sense, and that cool landscape cover art thing. I just wish they would fix the bugs, and get it working properly! (Anyone know if HTC will issue an update for the music player?)

Just looked at your .7z file. As you say, there are five album art .jpgs inside that folder.
It makes me wonder--what phone are you using? I think your HTC Music Player is different than mine.
The Music Player on my phone only creates one .jpg cover art file inside each of all my music folders, including those that work in showing cover art, and those that don't. (I guess it looks at the art embedded in the music file tags, and extracts the cover art in a separate file. It is a .jpg file, but renamed with the extension .vin.
Five cover art files, as exists in your folder, is non-existent on the TMOUSA HD2.
Funny thing too---In albums that do not show the cover art in the music player app, the .vin file the app created inside the album's folder--is still usually the correct album cover art. So the app can read the cover art embedded in the music files, creates its one folder ,jpg renamed .vin for the art, but still does not display it in the app.
Hey HTC, fix this app!
I wonder if it might have something to do with the resolution of the cover art?
While it might be able to read all cover art, and make the corresponding .vin (.jpg) file of it in the folder, the app only displays cover art that is in a certain pixel resolution, or a certain range of resolutions?
Could that be why some cover art displays, and others do not?
Anyone know?
I was using the HD 2. I copied the folders from my music file on my pc to my phone. so that may be the reason for the extra image files. but as it always showed the album art I left them there
HTC audio manager shuffle problem
Hi Guys,
This old issue is still unsolved on the last update 3.14, and it is really driving me crazy.
Have you been able to solve it?
Have anyone tried the latest OBOE 1.18 files?
