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.

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.
Currently I have my music synced (by Windows Media Player 11) to /Storage Card/Music folder (and subfolders). Windows Mobile Media player can see it and play fine, but TouchFlo 3D plugin does not seem to look into this folder at all.
Is it possible to force /Storage Card/Music folder as default for HTC player as well?
I can install it anywhere and TF3D Player finds it:
I got music in:
SD Card/My Documents/My Music/(any album oder artistname)
Or as WMP11 did by sync:
SD Card/Music
Nevertheless, TF3D finds it.
May try a softreset?

Did that, multiple times.
Anyway, moving files to \Storage Card\My Documents\Music seems to work.
I probably need to "reset" just the HTC Library to make it work under \Storage Card\Music, but I am not sure how.
// edit: disabling TOuchFlo 3D a deleting /Application Data/HTC did the trick

Can you please explain what you mean by that??
Just refresh librairy in windows media player and it should be done
Working for me...
This is explaining it:

Disable TouchFlo 3D and then you can delete the folder.
Then soft reset
Enable TouchFlo 3D again and then the library should refresh again
This is how it solved my issue .
Be patient too : if you have a lot of songs, it can take a while before the library loads up completely

The are two keys in the registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_scan_path_path
and
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\device_scan_path_path_0
You can define search locations for tf3D player there.
Still a Problem
I started the tread referred to in one response above but am still having problems. I tried all the recommended options with varying degrees of success. So far I have managed to get the music file recognised but showing the wrong album cove in the library and now allowing you to flick through them on the first screen. Soft reset allowed flicking but still wrong cover. Wipe SD card, hard reset and still the same. Am I doing something to do with the cover jpg file? And is there a way to convert the standard cover file to a folder jpg other than renaming as they are a lot smaller.
You just need to add an AlbumArt to your mp3s files' tags. You can do it with windows media or, for example, mp3tag.
same problem. i have added an album art to a mp3 file and stored it on the device, but still there is no album art.
(added album art with winamp 5.5 and refreshed with windows media player.)
is there a difference between saving an album art with media player and winamp?
EDIT:
I think there is a difference. the mp3 i added album art still dont have an album art in windows media player (on desktop). if i add the album art in windows media player the alum art is also available on my Touch HD...
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

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
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.

i use this

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
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 ....
