does getting album art work for you? - XPERIA X10 General

so i know the mediascape has this function but every time i try and get an album art it NEVER finds it.
anyone ever actually obtain the album art for a song?

Yes, this has worked for me with great results. But u have to be connected to wifi for it to work. Hopefully with an update this can be done via 3g.

so basically everytime i try and get album art it gives me - album art not found. it's freakin' NIN. how do you not find NIN album art!!!??

Yours just doesn't find art for certain albums?
Mine errors out in under a minute, doesnt even get around to searching. lol

Mine use to work fine but I just tried for some new albums I got and it either told me can't be found or error O_O I don't understand these are mainstream well known albums and it worked fine a week ago

I've noticed that if you file the mp3's in seperate folder by artist then album it seems to not like that ?
I tend to use an mp3 tagger on the pc first to get the right track details on the mp3's first though, then the album art works a lot better for me ?

Not working here either. I get "system error" when I start downloading (after the phone has counted the available album art). Reset app, restart phone, etc does not help.
I used MediaGo to upload all my music. MediaGo added album art to some of the albums. Is that also the case for those of you who get error messages?

me too, I get "system error" while trying to get album art!
I'm using the cube or 3 for playing mp3's and album art comes really easy!

so to clarify -
some people on the X10 are getting an error message while trying to get album art while using the X10. basically you play a song on the phone with mediascape, left button -> get album art -> error message
for me, i get to that screen, i don't get an error message but it doesn't find the album art.
i've used mediago and i've updated some songs. but i don't see why it's not work and why it asks for wifi connection to even get an album art.

Yes, system error while trying to get album art!

same with me i always get error

Update:
I AM able to fetch album art for the song that is playing. (Of course, it doesn't ALWAYS find a match, but it works.)
BEFORE, the system error occured when I chose "fetch album art" from Mediascape home screen (all albums at once).
At the moment, I seem to be downloading 284 covers at once!
Those of you who get "system error" should try downloading album art for a single song first, and then download from the home screen.
If that doesn't work, try playing a song while you attempt to fetch album art. (I've got no clue if that helps, all I know is that I am now playing a song and for the first time downloading tons of album art.)

For those who are struggling.
I use album art grabber from the market. It scrapes album art for you but also gives the ability to add your own e.g. from SD or browser.

lol i didn't even know you can get album art in the main menu of mediascape. i get an error right now. but it says it finds album art. started to download and by the 2nd art it gets the error.

error
shortt

Never worked for me so I downloaded Album Art Grabber from the Marketplace. It (usually) found the correct album art straight away but if it didn't I just went to Amazon, downloaded the album image to my SD card then used Album Art Grabber to link it with the songs in question.

hi guys got my x10i yesterday,,, pretty amazing android phone dammm....
i haven't experiencing any problem about album art on my song every thing is perfect sound are louder than i thought... i used MP3TAG to put album on my songs...
well what i did is i used MEDIA GO to transfer song.. slideME Apps. really cool... i live in DUBAI....

Application to Download / Search for Album Art?

I just found S2P and it's great album art flip feature and realized....I don't have much album art...
Is there an application out there that will download album art for me?
I download conduits pocket player, which does this...but I can't find where it puts the image.
Thanks,
Matt
i dont know if you like this its kind of bothersome but i found this thing called mp3tags.what you do is find your music that doent have any art and embed the art into the mp3 yourself.its simple but if you have alot of mp3`s then you may not like it
I use windows media player ( on my computer )... with the old urge program..... and when i right click a song it gives me the option to find the album info on line or insert my own.
it compares your song with a online library and updates it with the full name .... and album cover.
I think i have an automatic option on mine because it seems as if it searches for them automatically when ever I buy new mp3 with out album covers.
once everything is updated just sync it to your phone using windows media and you should be good. All my music is organized, rated, and with full album info.

Missing Album Art

Hi,
Transferred my music from WMP over to my Nexus and only some have album art.
My album art has been manually added as "cover art" through WMP.
Would I have more success if I manually add the album art in iTunes?
Does anyone have this problem and has found one is better than the other? These are the only two media players I've ever used but have just come back to Windows so could consider WinAmp if anyone knows how that works with the Nexus?
Cheers. Paul.
Mate all my itunes music had album art.. i transferred it and its not showing :S only some of it is
Was your album art manually added and embedded into the files or just downloaded via iTunes?
Majority by itunes...
It may not be this ultimate fix and it may or may not work on the nexus(I'm still on G1) but Album Art Grabber in the market works well...until you wipe.

This is the problem.
iTunes stores the album art in a different folder and assigns it to the music when loaded.
It does this ONLY if the artist and album title are completely correct, but does not embed it to the track or folder.
There is a way to assign the album art and EMBED it into each track without having to worry about .jpgs hanging around
see here (post 4)

that program works great haha
how do i fix the unknown artist thing.. and missin album title.. i edit it in itunes but it doesnt change
You mustn't be editing it properly.
Remeber you have to edit the Artist, Album in iTunes but ALSO the track title in windows explorer (iTunes changes the embedded info).
Windows may show UNKNOWN album or artist but in iTunes it will be right.
Make sure you change it all, but it is tedious, but once it's dine it'll never need doing again and no unsightly .jpgs in all your music folders.
Oh i get you now mate.. See im on a mac :S thats why im getting confused with how to edit it out of itunes..
I get albums doubled aswell.. must be cus of the name..
Is there no program to edit it on the phone?
Theres a couple for gettin the album art on the market, 'album art grabber' as someone mentioned and 'mp3 tagger' does as well i believe
yeye got the albumart sorted
i mean one that would let me edit
Artist, Album, etc on the phone.. cus using a mac i carnt edit it on here really

Put Music Album art on Incredible?

Ive been trying to get the music album art on my incredible, but Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? I want to so i can use the Album art live wallpaper. I know their are some apps in the market that do this, but they are listed as not working with the incredible. Other apps just display the album art and not download it to the proper directory like I want it to. I use double twist to sync my iTunes library but, won sync the album art. What are some simple ways to get the Music album art on the Incredible?
Download "Album Art Grabber". It automatically grabs album art for every song on your SD card. You can also manually switch each to other possibilities if the one it gives is incorrect. I've been using it for a while and love it
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.mylittlebigapps.android.albumartgrabber
I would but it says the incredible isn' t supported. Any other suggestions?

I just downloaded it for my incredible and it is indeed, inedible! It may say it doesn't support it but it does
Edit: ok it def works good but it is a lil slow. Maybe that's because i have 3500 songs lol.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Maybe its not the easiest, but I would embedding album art in your mp3s with a program like mp3tag. I was having problems until I did this. Album art should work across any device or program that supports album art going forward after you take the time to do this.
Just my .02$
Mediamonkey. or for simplicity use cubed player

[Q] Help! Mediascape shows me wrong album art for my songs

I just bought the xperia x10 a while ago and started to listen music on it..
I download music on limewire and put them all on my 8GB micro sd...
Pop in the micro sd to my xperia x10, boot it, mediascape,... whats wrong?
Some of my songs shows up the wrong album art. and whats strange is that all the songs with the wrong album art HAS THE SAME WRONG ALBUM ART.
So its weird, for exemple:
I have for example on my phone:
Dj Nightlife : Display right album art
DJ Ravine: Display right album art
Akon: Displays DJ Ravine's album art instead of akon album art...
Lil wayne: displays dj ravine's album art instead of lil wayne album art
please help im getting pissed
thank you
I would try fining the album art on your SD and deleting in, make sure its the right stuff your deleting though and letting mediascape re scan it all. and make sure the mp3 files have thr right artist etc listing in their details [right click the mp3 file and properties, details tab]
What you need to do is to view the files in media go and manually fix the mp3 tags of each song, it sucks i know. But thats becouse the guy who created the mp3s was sloppy.

Album Art Issues - All the same

I'm transferring music from my computer to the Galaxy S2 via Kies/Wifi but the album art for all the songs except two are the same. There seems to be no way to change the album art on the S2. In Kies I can see the tiny thumbnail when playing the song is the correct one.
Bug ?
I have this issue too, when your looking at the music in list format, the artwork is all differant, but when you play a file the bigscreen artwork is the same

2 Solutions although not a direct fix for your issue.
Firstly, download one of the Album Art Grabber apps from the market and update your album art. There are paid apps and free ones, all offer similar functionality. Auto Scan and change individual albums.
Secondly, buy PowerAmp. There's not much to say other than it provides the best Android music experience hands down. Aswell as offering a multitude of eq settings and options, it allows you to change individual album art on the fly.
Good luck.
Regards.
I managed to fix this so see if it works. With mp3tag you need to make the album title unique for each mp3 you want to have a unique picture. I had lots of single tunes and the album tag was blank. Because of this they all took on the same album art. If you make the album the filename which can be done as a batch process they all display ok.
My only problem is getting albums to play in track order, the SII always puts things in alphabetical order, very annoying for mix cds.
Thank you both.
I went for the MP3Tag option as that's what I've been using and it's worked fine !
thanks this fixed my problem as well
Hi thanks for the tips
Also my games and maps music automatically in my library, if i deleted them would that means my games/maps music also be deleted as well. or is there's a way to block them from go in the music library
Thanks,
Drew
