That's possible yes:
HTC FAQ Page
Simple answer: Add a image file (in JPeG) to the folder you store the album in and call the file folder.jpg (you may hide it if you want).
One thing: You need to re-add the files to the player, meaning all files you have in your current playlist (on the TF3D page) will not get updated untill you reselect them.

no it doesn't work. at least for me.
look what i am doing:
1. i set my usb connection as disk drive
2. i load to my winamp the songs from album Crises - Mike Oldfield and with winamp i download the artwork from internet named "Mike Oldfield-Crises.jpg"
3. i connect my hd to my laptop and copy into folder Music from my sdcard the folder crises. inside this folder i have the album "Crises - Mike Oldfield" and the "Mike Oldfield-Crises.jpg"
4. on my sdcard i rename "Mike Oldfield-Crises.jpg" artwork as "crises.jpg"
5. set my usb connection asa activesync
6. start tf3d music player and wait until it finds the new album
7. after a while it finds it but the artwork is not displayed
please tell me what am i doing wrong!
thank you!
You have to name the artwork folder.jpg
Not the name of the folder, not the name of the artist. It actually has to be called:
folder.jpg
That's f-o-l-d-e-r-.jpg
Weird i know but it does work.
meanwhile i figured out myself.
but thank you anyway!
Keep in mind that TF3D player doesn't use the file folder.jpg to display the image. It uses a file named hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg. If it's not present but there is a file named folder.jpg, TF3D player will create a file hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg from it.
Therefore you can create your AlbumArt directly under the name hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg.
(however, WMP still uses folder.jpg, therefore I've kept both).
But why don't use mp3 artwork tag to display album artwork ?
Also eventhough you have hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg in that folder, TF3D music player sometime never display the albumart.
TF3D music player suck.
Still like itunes that create playlist easily by drag n drop.
Even I create the playlist manually, it sometime didn't work.

I found instructions to do it with a couple of programs and renaming files and stuff I couldn't figure out. So is there a cab or easy directions to add album images to touchflo music. The images show on the media player why not tf3d?
Thanks
yes use mp3 tag select all and ad cover
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
Use "Folder"
Copy the album art image to the appropriate directory, rename to "Folder", and soft reset. The artwork will be embedded.
This works with 95% of the albums I loaded. Some problems with albums in Spanish, I don't know why; I had to use WMP to sync.
If u have an ipod with itunes u can copy the songs and paste in diamond directly and u can see the album images on TouchFlo Music tab
Cheers!
Add your music to Windows Media player, edit tags, add cover, sync with your Diamond.
Yeah, just put the info in the id3 tag with WMP or MediaMonkey for instance using an online database
My experience is better with only renaming the picture to "Folder" and copy it to right folder with mp3.....works even better than id3 tag
Hi:
Whenever I load my album app, folders appear where my pics are categorized.
The problems is that I see a huge list of folders, incluiding album art of all my music, and thumbnails of other apps. So as you can imagine, a pretty long list which takes a while to load each time.
Is there any way to choose what folder to see?
I will like to see: Cam pictures, dowload pictures and video. NO MORE.
I can´t get all the other sillion of folders out!!!
Any suggestion or idea?
Thanks in advance.
I also would like to know how to do this.
Do you have your Music in the folder sdcard/mp3/ ???
You must do that, then it works well.

Hi,
'
Does it matter if the folder is sdcard/MP3?
Is it case sensitive?
EDIT I change de folder name from sdcard/MP3 to sdcard/mp3, turn off the phone, turn it on, and the same thing happens...any other suggestions?
Thanks
Simply create a file and name it ".nomedia" (without quotes). Put it in every folder you don't want to be listed in Albums (or Player)

I´ve connected my hero to my PC, enter the SD Card, enter in the folder where a I have my MP3 sdcard/mp3 an created there, with the note creator, an empty .nomedia file. But it didn´t work....do I hacve to this for all my MP3 folders? Which programs should I use to create de .nomedia file?
Thanks.
I didn't create it myself, found somewhere on android forums. I've attached this file (extract it to desired folder). It worked for me
Excellent!!! It worked!!!
Thanks.
EDIT. .nomedia inside my mp3 folder means no infinite list of album art in the image gallery, but it also meant NO MUSIC DETECTED IN MY SD CARD!!!!!!
SO...there is no way to have both working!!!!!
??????????????
Question
Does it works also in subfolders? 'Cause otherwise it's hard to copy this file everywhere....
You do not need the album art image (jpg) to display a cover in the Musik player at all. The htc music player supports the album art as a tag in the mp3 file. That means you need an mp3tag program to add your cover.jpg (or folder.jpg) to the mp3 file directly. Afterwards you can delete the cover.jpg. Then you have clean folders with mp3 files only in it meaning that the HTC Album does not show the covers anymore but the Music player does.
A great free program for this job can be found here: http://www.mp3tag.de/
The page is german, though;-)
Cheers
Hello.
Does someone know a way of hidding the album covers showing up in the gallery app? I know the way of putting a ".nomedia" file inside the music folder but that prevents the music from showing up in the music app.
Thank you for your help.
I would also like to know if there is any answer for this? It is irritating to go into gallery and sort through a couple of hundred pictures of my albums.
Embed the art into the mp3 files themselves so you con remove the JPG art files.
There is only one way I know off to stop this and it means going through your music comprehensively.
You need to edit the music files in iTunes or similar, and assign the album art to the individual music tracks rather than just copying a .jpg to the folder.
If you right click on the music file or files (you can edit more than one track at a time) and then click on 'albumart'.
you then find the file you wish to use and click okay.
EACH track then has an assigned album art picture embedded.
It takes time though, I've done 120Gb of my 300Gb of Music!!
21000 tracks and counting so far.................
Personally, I use TagRunner. Downloads the tags and art automatically (and embeds it).
IMO Weak workarounds.
Pisses me off the Gallery wont let you select specific folders.
I once dled a sign language App only to suddenly have 100+ pics in my gallery.
Id you .hide them...the App wont see them either.
Terrible setup by Android , no idea why this hasnt been addressed.
Super noob question,I can't figure out how to add music to my n1.I hooked it up to my PC,do I need software to sync up to? Thanks

drag and drop after you mount your sd card
Um, you guys know that you can just drop a file called .nomedia in any directory and the music/picture/video finder won't index it, right?
Yes that was discussed. but if the album art is in the same folder as the music, you dont get to listen to the music. And if you put that file in the albumthumbs folder, then the music player wont show it either.
OP is looking to eliminate it from the gallery only.
Are the music files and artwork in the same folder?
If they are you can't do anything about it.
Properly tag the files folks...
Now if the artwork is in another folder you can make a 1 byte file with the name ".nomedia" and place it in the folder.
None of the Media Scan routines will process the folder; this means in the folder images *AND* music will be ignored.
Placing the .nomedia file in whatever folder has the images (music folder or albumthumbs) will most likely prevent the album are from being seen in the music player as well.
I agree that properly tagging the music is really the best way around this. I use mediamonkey for my media management and tagging on my desktop.

I'm doing this, when I rename the file, it vanishes. Is this right? If I try make it again, it says it can't as a file with that name exists, so I guess that's how it should be.
When I go to album, these folders are still there though. Is there a way to make it refresh?
EDIT: Okay, I rebooted and this worked
Does anyone know how to put album art on you're current mp3's?
I put it on in itunes and windows media player but it doesnt show up in my manilla music tab....
anyone know how 2 do this?
I also found where the art is located on my SD card, added a pic with a matching tittle to the artist and it didnt work
I've always used Mp3tag for that. It works great for tagging and album art (and it's free).
The WMP does that faster. And I also use MP3Tag for every mp3 file

all you have to do is pull the album art offline and name the album art file folder.jpg put it inside where your tracks are and it will show up inside your music player.
That won't work if he want's to put art on just one file. Do this.
- Put the album art trough Mindow Media Player, it's plain simple.
- Drag the image even from the browser on to the little box of the album art of the WMP viewer.
- Then open the selected file with MP3tag, go to options > tags > Mpeg and choose write ID3v2.3 UTF-16.
- Select file from the view and click save or ctrl+s. Done.
Works every time on mine.
i have a solution but it is a little boring.put your musics in separate folders.then copy the image u want to shown in manila.rename this image to hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg
after that duplicate this image and rename it to folder.jpg
So u have two image folder.jpg and hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg
soft reset your device and see the changes
this is how i made it work ...
I embedded in every mp3 file the cover art with mp3tag in ID3v2.3 UTF-16 format , then i opened media player and choosing my music folder as it's default library I've synced it with my phone. and ... voila ! the alb covers show perfectly in the music tab...
Basically windows media player made a folder for each album, and took the cover from the mp3 file...
It is very important that you check your id3 tags on your mp3's because if they have the same album name, they will be put in the same folder and thus have only one cover (even if you put separate covers for each file, because the were from different artists)..,
----------------------------
How to use mp3tag :
download, install and open
The click File > CHANGE DIRECTORY navigate to your music folder and select it
... click the ADD DIRECTORY if you like to add more folders (if they are on different partitions ...)
The music files will appear and when you click on every file , you will be able to view and edit it's tag in the left side of the screen.
You can embed a cover by right clicking on the square in the left side of the screen and choosing "ad cover" and then selecting your picture [that you have found using Google... etc...] or by simply drag-and-dropping the image on that square ...
after you verified that you wrote the album name correctly and set the album cover , simply click on the save icon on the top tool-bar .. and mp3tag will save your mp3 with your album art....
--------------------------------
although mp3 tag can look for your album art on line, the database that's being used by mp3tag is small and it didn't worked so well for me ...
after doing all my art embedding i installed ATUNES and it suggested a lot more covers than mp3tag, and a lot more information for the artist or album .. or track .... so .. i will probably use IT in the future ....
------------------------------------------
Hi,
how can i put my own image on the music album?
i don't want to use Gracenote.
Thanks

i've had that problem with album arts.....after many programs used i'm now using a program called Mp3Tag Editor.......it's soooo great and you can add the album art of your choice with no complications....you can download it from its site [Sorry, as a new member i'm not allowed to post links to other sites] just search google for [ mp3tag editor ]....
you just need to modify a little bit in the settings......so here is what to do :
after completing installation open the prog --> click on the [Tools] tab and then choose [Options] then modify the [Mpeg] setting just like what you see in the attached image......
have fun adding your album arts to your favorite music...
i hope that will help you......
I use media monkey as it works very similar to itunes, which I'm used to. Can add any artwork to any music files, and you don't even have to resize the artwork first
There are several methods.
You can embed artwork in the music files themselves, using a pc application as described above (Media Monkey, Mp3Tag...).
Or you can simply copy your album cover image to the folder where the music files are and rename it to 'folder.jpg'. This can be done using the phone's own file explorer, so no need for a pc.
Thanks to everyone.
i did it.
Best regards,

I tried the folder.jpg in the same folder as my music file but it didn't work?
I am using the same folder structure as the HTC pre supplied music files and I can view the jpg in the PDA editor
Any ideas? I prefer the simple (less software) approach rather than loading software like mp3tag and mediamonkey etc
I don't remember the folder structure of the pre-supplied music, but my music is arranged like this: "Storage Card\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\". In each folder, I have all the mp3's for that specific album, along with its own "folder.jpg". I assume it's the same in your case.
It could take a while before you actually see it. Try playing each of the album's tracks (just skipping through them should be enough), then load another album, then go back to the first. You should start seeing the folder image this way.
If that doesn't work, you could check the album folder to see if there's a file with a name that starts with "~hTC_". This is the Music Player's own cover image, made from whatever cover you supplied. If such a file already exists, you could try deleting it and then repeat the above steps to force the Player to recreate the cover image.
