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?

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?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a spin and report later.

No problem.
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 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.

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
Just got my SGS2. Fired up iSyncr and iTunes and synced about 1600 songs to my new phone.
Media Scan then completed
I fired up powerAMP and PlayerPro and stock music player.
ALL of them showed 408 songs as unknown artist.
Yet on my Motorola Defy and in iTunes all the artists are perfect. I have formatted the sd card and resynced the music still no good.
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Yes, though I used TuneSync to move them over. I just removed album art from one album and had iTunes reload it automatically. Then I sync'ed again, now the music shows up. All of it, even the stuff that I didn't touch. Weird. (XWKE7, rooted)
How do you sync iTunes with this phone?
I haven't got the phone yet but it would be good to know
programs on the phone called isyncr or tune sync will do it.
though any m4a/acc music wont show artist names correctly.
Does it come pre installed?
no, they can be purchased from the market.
I'd suggest giving iTunes away, only gives you headaches if you aren't an iOS user. Better to have a properly curated tag collection...

itunes isnt a problem for me. in fact i love it. isyncr has always been brilliant at keeping my android and itunes libraries in sync. Its just this sgs bug that is causing trouble. Hope samsung fixes it soon.
Same here, NickChaplin. TuneSync worked flawlessly on Cyanogenmod.
The same here, all the songs i bought from iTunes my SGSII won't recognize the artist name.... On my Desire it works perfect.

nope, poweramp, player pro, winamp, double twist AND stock media player ALL have the same problem.
Thats because its a problem with the way the media scanner reads the ID3 tag of the m4a file and then adds it to the android music library that ALL the above media players read from.
What? I had the same issue with my vibrant. Poweramp automatically fetches album covers. Even random mixtape songs.
I agree it should work by default. But its hit or miss with devices. Poweramp solves this problem by fetching the album covers.

sorry, all my music already has album art.
Try MediaFix from the Market.
Try MIUI Music APK. That always popped out artist info, lyrics, CD art, and everything else automatically for me. Well, 90% of the time at least.
There is a bug in Android's media indexing & storage service. Sometimes it doesn't get the artist. Some apps like Mediafix or TuneSync index the music themselves and put the correct artist in the service's database. Until the bug is fixed, the only way to solve the problem is to either use players that don't rely on the service or to fix database yourself with the appropriate applications. MIUI's player will only work better if it doesn't rely on Android's internal indexing. I'm pretty sure it does rely on it.
I put some mp3's in sdcard/music. They do not show up in the play music app. I hit settings, refresh, but they still don't show up.
What's the deal?

I put a fair amount of music in that same location and I got an error about one file but all the others show up and play normally.
Maybe try restarting the app? Otherwise it might be something about the files themselves that the app is having problems with.
Try am app called "SD card rescan" that a worked for me with slight patience or try rebooting it

I have tried rebooting, turning the device off, etc. When I click on any of these mp3's, play music opens and plays the files. So the app has no problem playing these mp3's.
Obviously it's not rescanning the device.
Edit: still no joy this morning. Then I turned the device off and back on.
Now it shows up under artist, but not album. Is there some secret to making a folder so it shows up under albums?

In whatever you're using to sideload the mp3's, you can make sub-folders in the target folder. If you're connecting from a PC with USB, you can simply make folders the same way you do on your PC. I did this, and now the folder shows up in the music library.
The Android OS have a system service called the "Media Scanner" that will once in a while scan your storage for media.
I read the thread and what is been reported is two different points:
1. Sometimes it really does take a bit for the scanner to kick in and start its thing. 99% of time you reboot it does perform a full scan, so rebooting and waiting a few minutes before checking always helps.
2. the music show under artist but not album, that is to do with the MP3 tags. If you check your mp3 on Winamp or iTunes there are options to change/edit the MP3 tags, where you can set artist name, album name, year, style, album art, etc, etc... if those info are correct in the file, it will show on the player in the correct section, if it is not correct, well.. fix it, then move to your device.
hope it helps.

Well, it finally also showed up under albums. What's weird is it showed up under artists a few hours b4 it showed up under albums. What's up with that?
Another question: After copying MP3's to your device, even after they show up in the Play Music app, they do not get uploaded to your Play account?
I went out today and thought I would listen to this album on my phone. It didn't show up. Back at home, it doesn't show up on my computer's web browser when connected to my Play account. So is it a one way upload? Computer to cloud, but not mobile device to cloud?
Yep, the only way to upload is from the PC. The mobile app was never meant to do it.

I put mine on Google's servers A lot easier to stream it all rather than worry about remembering to copy it to my phone and tablet.
Usually I do too. But I downloaded this album direct from the artists web site on my Nexus. Later I will connect it to my pc and copy it over.
It just seems so archaic.

I was having some similar issues, but after trying out a few different things that seemed to work for others, mine showed up. Not sure exactly what was the magic trick, but a mix of restarting, rescanning, etc. seemed to help... Thanks all!
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 !
