Ever since I got my Epic the phone has somehow decided to use one artist's album art for every artists' album art. Is there a way to delete the default album art? Does this even make sense to you? lol
Download Album Art Grabber from the market, it's free. It has a delete/remove album art feature. Do that, and then press the Grab button to get the correct album art.
Didn't work Every artist and song still has the same album art
When viewing the files in Windows Explorer you can right click then go to Properties. Are the properties here correct? Make sure it has the correct artist and album and no strange values in any of the properties.
Just curious, what artist/album is it pulling?

Yup, all of them are set correct. It's pulling Eric Church - Caroline album. There are a handful of songs (about 5/500) that do have the correct album art. Not sure why
1) Delete AlbumArt.jpg, folder.jpg, cover.jpg or any other image file from your music folder
2) Get Cover Art Downloader from the market
3) Open Cover Art Downloader and press Menu > More > Clear all album art (this will actually clear it, unlike album art grabber free which does nothing)
4) (Optional) If you have your covers tagged in your mp3's press Menu > Media scanner, to detect your embedded album art (this will take a while since you just cleared everything)
5) Press Menu > Fetch missing covers, to get anything thats not already embeded (can find a lot more art than Album Art Grabber or Album Art Grabber Free)
If you store your music all in one directory, do not enable the option to store a copy of the cover art in the album folder, this will put you right back where you are now.
Note: this will only work for music stored on the sd card, third party apps cannot access music stored internally. If your music is stored internal the only option is to delete the image as in step 1, then go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Media Storage > Clear Data, then reboot your phone and it should pick up your embedded album art.

i searched and the only thread i found on this topic went unanswered (link to that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458825).
my first issue is that i can't figure out how to clear the "now playing" list after clicking the Library soft key. i added four mp3s to see how the HTC music player worked and after having deleted them, i still see all four of the titles in the Now Playing list. how do you clear this?
my second issue is the way i organize my music. for some reason, i can't get ANY album art to show up. i embed/save the art to the mp3 itself with id tag editing software, but that doesn't work at all. i then tried making my own folder tree within my music folder on my sd card in this format: artist > album title > and mp3/album art inside this folder. when i do this, though, the music app doesn't even find the mp3! it sits on "searching" and never finds the file. wtf!
I've not as of yet discovered a way to clear it per se. But if you scroll over to albums and open a specific album, it will only show those tracks as "now playing"... so if you have only one song from a specific album, there will only be one song in your current "now playing" list.
so this is what i did:
1. deleted the My Music folder i created on my sd card.
2. soft reset the device.
3. created a new My Music folder on my sd card.
4. copied all my music over in the same format (artist > album > mp3+cover)
5. did as noodled24 said, scrolled to albums (or all songs) and clicked one track.
6. my now playing was then cleared AND all my songs + album art was there!
HTH for anyone that may be experiencing something similar...

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 ....

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.

Hi guys, it seems a lot of these games today use a lot of storage space. Which is fine (for a while) because we have 2 Gigs. But my problem is, once these games are installed, such as Asphalt 5 or Lets Golf, their music or soundclip files are showing up in my music player cluttering up the whole thing pretty bad. Is there any way to make a folder hide itself from the Music player?
Thanks
If you're rooted and have busybox, from terminal go to the folder(s) with the sounds you want ignored and use
Code:
touch .nomedia
If you are not rooted,
Code:
echo "" > .nomedia
will work. If you use this method you'll need to either reboot the phone or unmount/remount the SD storage from the phone to get the media to be scanned again.
You could also create an empty file with Notepad on your PC, then mount the phone to your pc and copy it to the folder(s) with sounds you do not want included. Make sure if you use Notepad to save the file you create as type "All files" so that you are creating .nomedia and not .nomedia.txt.
Hope this helps!
if i put this in my music folder will it prevent the photo gallery from showing album art of all my thousands of songs? i have to scroll for like 2 minutes thru my gallery as its showing all my album art!

I think so, but it would also hide all of your music from the music app..
bummer. i chalk this all up to google and ignoring media in Android ever since day 1.
It's better to have the album art embedded in the tracks so that you don't have to have it in separate files.
the gallery display ALL media from the card, including album artwork, whatever pictures and icons games installed uses, etc.. i would like to see only my pictures taken with the camera (and videos) but i can't find a setting or another gallery doing that, wtf?
Same question with the audio player in fact!
There are some solutions:
Create a file called .nomedia
Put this file in each folder with content you don't need in your gallery/ audio player etc. This will hide the whole folder's content! Use this way for applications or games that create media files (images, audio files).
To hide album artwork from the gallery you can either
- rename the album art files to albumart.jpg - Android will exclude these files from the gallery
- rename the album art file and put a dot as first character (like .myalbumname.jpg)
- include the album art into the ID3 tags and deleta all album art files.
