I transfered some of my music files I used on my itunes to the HD. Problem now is that lot of the music files now don't have the album cover. Is there to fix that?
Assuming that all your music is organised into seperate folders for each album on your PC. You need to make sure that each folder has a JPG of the album cover in it. The name of the JPG in each folder should be "Folder.jpg"
I tried that, but I didn't get album art to show until I tagged the mp3 file with the album art filename using Media Monkey.

work fine

it worked for me, altho I had to resync my music, and update my library on my Touch.
Each album needs its own folder, each folder must have a file called "folder.jpg" and the jpg should be that albums art work.
I'm also assuming you mean in the TF3D music player. The same thing works for S2P however S2P seems to take a long time to update.
Using only Folder.jpg does work it just takes time for the programs to catalogue the album art. and though embedding album art in the mp3 also works it can also cause problems and you'll see a album art jpg is created anyway

Hi,
I've been searching on this forum and on other places on the NET and can't find anything on how to show Album covers when listening to music using WMP on PPC.
I read in several reviews that WMP 10 features the ability to show Album art, but so far i didn't get this to work....
Does anyone know?
The easiest way is just to copy the album art (.jpg format) into the same directory as the album and rename it to 'folder.jpg' (renaming it may not be necessary, it's just what I do). Now when you open that album the artwork will be displayed (assuming you are using a media player skin that allows for artwork, the standard WMP10 skin is fine).
When you encode a CD on your desktop PC using media player it automatically downloads and stores the artwork in the same directory as the encoded files. If you just copy the whole directory to your PPC it will work fine. If for some reason it wont download the artwork you can go to www.cdnow.com, search for the album, and get the artwork from there.
im having trouble with album arts in tf3d. i have assigned a jpeg pic to each mp3 files i have through mp3tag, but in the phone it only displays the 1st mp3 image to all the rest of tracks.
i have searched around the forums, but i can only find fixes to having 1 picture for each album folder but all my mp3s are individuals and in the same folder (storage card/music)
no fix for this?
Use MP3Tag to properly apply the MP3 metadata to your tracks.
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
Each image should then be 'embedded' for each track and will show
i did use that, i mentioned it in 1st post. in the media panel player it shows properly but in the tf3d music player it doesnt. (cant scroll animation)
audiomanager uses folders, you need to organise into artist/album subfolders
here's a walkthrough to doing it with mp3tag
http://www.mymusictools.com/articles/how-do-i-sort-mp3-files.htm
ok thanks..
Real easy way to do is sync it through windows media, set your X1 to act as external storage and not activesync.
And of course MP3Tag for the albumart.

All my albums now have the correct artwork after using this. It was doing my head in using the auto update art on the phone.
I use mp3tag to embed the album art, works 100% with every player I've used it with. I use album art downloader to find a nice version of the artwork (usually at around 600x600 res).
Thanks
mp3tag works great
An easyway
Put a .jpg file with the name Folder.jpg in the folder it will show up.
Thats true, but that doesn't work for all OS environs (for example I don't think my playstation picked up album art that way). Mp3tag just works with everything...
I tranfered some music folders from my computer to my SD card and now I have Album Cover Art in my Gallery how do I fix
Best
BoogieTilt
google "android .nomedia" and read the guides from there
I used ".nomedia" and it works like a charm.
It's possible the music folders had image files in them along with the music. Depending on what you use to play your music on the computer, the image files could very well hidden files on your computer.
For example, Windows Media Player does this when it looks up song info to fill out the ID3 tag info in a file.
Although I'm not sure if a Windows file attribute of hidden would affect how it displays on Android.
Make sure your album art is in the same folder as the music relating to it and rename it 'albumart' (it has to be a jpg file). That way the gallery will ignore it.
Easier way to prevent this issue would be to not have album art in the music folder, or simply save the art to the ID3 tag. Album art info should be in the MP3 file itself if your did that.
Otherwise, what C.Slater said works best or use the .nomedia trick (which is still annoying to do).
Some players wont display embedded art.
Had the same problem, just deleted all the music album art jpgs from the sd card and that fixed it. Album art is stored in the files themselves it seems so they are not needed.
My old touch pro 2 stored album art in jpgs so that's where the problem came from.

Download music player "3" by Filipe Abranters.
Search MARKET place with words "RockON" and select "3".
Best music player there is, and it can download art and other stuff for free and quick as hell.
And it's great widget to.
And you'll never have to worry about art albums !
I installed a cab to automatically load the music player on startup, which fixed my main issue with the Sense music player... slow loading. However, I'm still having an issue updating album art. Everytime I do, most of the album art is incorrect, and completely irrelevant to the album it's associated with. I'm syncing my music with WMP, where all the album art is correctly updated... but for some reason the album art isn't syncing.
Is there any way to sync my music AND album art? I have a lot of albums, and really don't want to go through every one of them and rename the album art.
Thanks in advance for any help!
i don't use WMP for synch'ing, instead mediamonkey.
from what i know, the album art (the image files) per album must be put in the same folder.
so whatever music transfer software you use, it must be stored on HD2 per album.
hope it helps.
I just put the music & everything on my storage card manually & the sense player automatically finds it. For album art make sure to put a pic named folder.jpg in there with whatever album art you want.
