How to import Itunes album art?

Dear Xda-developers
Does anyone here know how to sync music with Itunes keeping all album arts?
Right now I am using the Itunes Agens program to sync and also used Salling MediaSync once.
Both of them sync the music from Itunes, but not the downloaded album arts. They only sync manual album arts.
Is there any method to sync my Itunes songs with the auto-downloaded album arts? Or do I have to add manual album arts to all my songs?
P.S.
I have like 10+ GB of songs so I really dont wanna add album art to them all again...

i wanna know too!

I would like to know also.
I am getting my Magic this week and would hate to not have the album artwork after having the album artwork.

bump thread! any input will be appreciated!

there is an app in the market for this. i had the same problem 2 days ago and i stumbled upon it. i think its about $2 but well worth it. i havent loaded a ton of music yet but it worked for all the songs i had on my sd card. the name of the app is "album art grabber".

I know RockOn music player automatically d/l album art if you wanna check it out.

does getting album art work for you?

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....

Which MP3 Player do you use

So now that I know the stock MP3 player wont display uncompressed album art, I think I want to try a different mp3 or media player. I really cant stand looking at blurry pixelated pics on my Vibrant. Does anyone have any suggestions of players for the Vibrant that will show album art in full resolution instead the blurry images you get with the stock mp3 player?

hmm.. that's wierd, none of my album art is blurry at all on my phone using the stock player...

I do not have blurry album art problem either, but to answer your question I use MixZing.

i don't use it much, but i tried ^3 and liked it. http://abrantix.org/3.php

I used to go crazy over issues like that too. So I gave in to a Rdio subscription. $10 a month for unlimited music that follows u in a cloud, and it all comes with correct good quality album art. No more issues.
I don't work for them either lol in just really love their service and wanted to spread the word. It's really convenient.

What size is the album art for your songs. I have used album are that is 600x600 and then add it to my mp3s with itunes. My phone is the only player that shows the album art as blurry.

My stock music player doesn't show blurry album art, but all mine was added by iTunes automatically (then embedded into the files using a script).

I use doubletwist, and it satisfies my needs.

Windows media player also does this... and it is also the fastest was to sync music to your android devices... but not the most talked about for some reason....

Mix zing. Full screen album art, finds missing album art, and has a functional EQ.

Wow... best media player I've tried. I've been looking for a good one.
This makes my music sound a little better than it did before, heh. Anyone else notice poor quality with 3.5mm jack?

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

I use torrent and never faced problems

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
