Is anyone else having issues w/ the music app. not reading album art embedded in a mp3? I have tried Media Monkey, MP3 Tag and the editor in Roxio 2010. Some of it sticks and is recognised, others don't. The only ones that work properly are songs downloaded thru iTunes. I have also seen art be recognised only to later disappear. If I mount the SD card to desktop all the art is there. Any suggestions?
Album Art Grabber from the Market.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a spin and report later.

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

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.

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
I tried everything to have the good covers for my musics on my phone the problem is my songs where downloaded from many different sources thus having like many folders like /musicbox / unknown and stuff like that i cleared them more then 100 times and personally picked the covert arts but they all get mixed up never shows up the good ones im a about to commit suicide ! It makes me not wanting to listen to music seriously ! I remember it was all good on 2.1 back in the days when i first got my x10

Well, from my understanding you are looking to have the correct album art for each song/album on your phone correct? This problem plagued me for a while, I couldn't find an easy way to automatically embed the album art into the id3 tags for songs on the computer... so I starting looking at apps for android. easiest way BY FAR is to buy the donate version of Cover Art Downloader. It will embed the album art into the mp3 file so you can copy em all to your pc and the album art will stick with it.
The free version of the app doesn't embed the art into the mp3's id3 tags but it will still work to show you the art on your phone if that's all you are wanting.
I also did album art grabber its because when i download them the description is not well filled out even if i change them whit mp3 tag it still mixed up

you don't have to format your sd card; probably wouldn't hurt.
You should take all your music off of your sd and consolidate into one music folder on your computer; Music-->Artist-->Albums and/or Songs-->Songs.
Throw it into either itunes for that what ever fixer finder thing it has, or better yet throw it into winamp as local media and go through song by song (you can select multiples) ctrl+e to open up up the file(s) to edit the metadata so you can format each/all the songs to uniform artist/albums/titles.
also for artwork you can select songs and press alt+3 and click on the Artwork tab and then download artwork there's also an auto-tag feature on the default tab (doesn't always work)
So i should grab winamp on my pc ? Ill try that and my musics are all into sdcard/music there isnt any other folders in it should i add ? Album>artist >songs?

Or you could use Mediamonkey to organize your library. =)
Or try the correct forum
how can i make my album art show up for mp3's in play music? these are files that I've ripped on my own, not ones purchased through the play store.
I've got albumart.jpg's in the album folders, but they don't show up in the music app. This method worked fine using the HTC music app on my old One S.
Just use iTunes, and add the Album Art that way. Works perfectly fine for me.

Or if you're using Google Music, you can easily search for an album image on your computer and set it through their web interface.
Try renaming the files to folder.jpg. Or embed the artwork in each MP3 (I do this and it works fine with Google Music).
Unfortunately none of those methods worked for me so I remembered the old trick of clearing data from the app and that did it, at least for all but a couple stubborn albums.

Does anyone know of a good music manager for android? Im having two problems, the first problem is half of my music albums dont have album art, and the second problem is i have more than one icon for a single album. For example i have Trey Songs album with two different icons. one folder have half of the songs and the other folder have the other half
Try musiXmatch app from play store or the stock touchwiz player. I find these two good.
Other option is n7 player and power amp player.

If your music data itself is messed up, changing players wont necessarily fix your problems.
I highly recommend musicbrainz for cleaning up massive libraries. It fixes tags, renames files, and will structure your music on disk like itunes. From there you can push it back to your players for sheer pleasure.
Btw , this is a desktop app, not one from the android stores. And it's free.

that sounds like something i need
Sometimes it'll choke on tracks that should be common and easy to identify. Don't fret, just tell it to try again and it will generally fix itself. On really stubborn ones you may have to kickstart them by entering some of the missing data (artist, title) before it'll properly recognize them.
Good luck !

Most of the album art on the stock music app are fine but there's 4 I came across that have album covers that don't match with the music. They were there when I downloaded the song but I didn't care about them since I was using Poweramp but I wanted to switch to stock for the air gestures and adapt sound. Anyways... I tried transferring the 4 songs to my computer to edit the tags using an mp3 tag editor and transferred them back on my phone and it didn't work. I also tried deleting the songs from my phone and putting the album art-less songs back. The same artworks still remain. I also used a couple of tag editors from the play store. Still no luck. Any ideas how I can remove these annoying artwork from my music player? Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem. You need to force start android's media scanner. Unfortunately, you can't do that manually without an external app, like that one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
If that doesn't work, go to app manager and clear "Media Storage" data, then run this app again.
