I transfered some of my music files I used on my itunes to the HD. Problem now is that lot of the music files now don't have the album cover. Is there to fix that?
Assuming that all your music is organised into seperate folders for each album on your PC. You need to make sure that each folder has a JPG of the album cover in it. The name of the JPG in each folder should be "Folder.jpg"
I tried that, but I didn't get album art to show until I tagged the mp3 file with the album art filename using Media Monkey.

it worked for me, altho I had to resync my music, and update my library on my Touch.
Each album needs its own folder, each folder must have a file called "folder.jpg" and the jpg should be that albums art work.
I'm also assuming you mean in the TF3D music player. The same thing works for S2P however S2P seems to take a long time to update.
Using only Folder.jpg does work it just takes time for the programs to catalogue the album art. and though embedding album art in the mp3 also works it can also cause problems and you'll see a album art jpg is created anyway
Hi. I need help with mp3Tag Software. I got it to tag all the songs with Cover Art but when I pulled them up on my phone, they Cover Art was there but it was individual songs instead of placed into one folder containing the Album Art.
Basically, I got a collage of Sade Songs (Around 10 or so) that I want to place as an album on my HD2 and I got the Cover Art on the songs to show up, but when I place them onto my phone after Tagging them with My personal Cover Art, they are not in one folder for Sade, they are individual songs and I need to know how to combine the songs so that it will show up in one folder with the Album Art I chose like Normal Albums that have the art in them. Can anybody help me?
Also, when I went back to the folder on my phone, I saw that it had made individual .jpg images of each individual track cover art.

you need to get the ten songs and tag them all with the same album name.
Sorry if it sounds noobish but I put the album name in the "Album" Text Field or "Album Artist" Text Field?
Nevermind. I got it. Thank You Soooo Much.
I installed a cab to automatically load the music player on startup, which fixed my main issue with the Sense music player... slow loading. However, I'm still having an issue updating album art. Everytime I do, most of the album art is incorrect, and completely irrelevant to the album it's associated with. I'm syncing my music with WMP, where all the album art is correctly updated... but for some reason the album art isn't syncing.
Is there any way to sync my music AND album art? I have a lot of albums, and really don't want to go through every one of them and rename the album art.
Thanks in advance for any help!
i don't use WMP for synch'ing, instead mediamonkey.
from what i know, the album art (the image files) per album must be put in the same folder.
so whatever music transfer software you use, it must be stored on HD2 per album.
hope it helps.
I just put the music & everything on my storage card manually & the sense player automatically finds it. For album art make sure to put a pic named folder.jpg in there with whatever album art you want.
I go into Gallery to view my albums of pics and unfortunately it not only puts a folder in the gallery for each folder of pictures I have but also for every single album or single in my phone/memory card (album art). uggggh I don't see any settings to disable that or omit certain folders. any hacks?
Yeah, I've got the same issue. Furthermore, the music app shows all of my additional ringtones and notification sounds. Haven't found a fix yet.

Same issue here, but to be fair I don't think it is a Vibrant issue, it's a general Android thing. My G1 always did this too pre and post froyo... I never bothered to figure out a fix though.
yeah I had this issue on my G1 also. Nothing new. I wish there was a filter setting or a watch-folder setting
mine does NOT put the album art in the gallery. i have my music on the sdcard in a folder called MUSIC
but my music app does give me every sound under the sun. it's annoying because i am now FORCED to make playlists without the erroneous phone sounds. never had to do that before. ;/

It's not a bug. A bug would be if the gallery app was *designed* to NOT show certain images. It's not. it's designed to show every image on the storage drives. It's a poor design, not a bug.
the Gallery just needs to have the ability to hide certain folders and files so you do not see them... Has been an issue for me since my G1 and 1.0!!
Hopefully your album art is in a different folder than your music. If so, stick a .nomeda file in the folder. (Just use notepad and save as type "all files" so it doesn't add a .txt to the end.) Works for hiding sound files too.
I don't have any album art showing in my gallery because I embed the album art in to each MP3 file's meta data. Use something like MP3 tag to do it (Winamp I think does it too). If you use WMP to Sync music like I do, the music player doesn't see most album art anyway. It's best to just embed the image in to the meta data.
Here's the solution:
rename all the .jpg in the music folders "Folder.jpg". This works for me. I'm assuming of course you have one folder for each album and each folder has 1 pic file for the cover art.

The best way to do it is to use something like MP3Tag to embed the album art in each MP3 file. This makes sure each song has the album part showing up. That way the gallery doesn't index your album art as well.

Hmm I might do this for the misc singles that are placed in a single folder. Yay for more things to kill time at work with. Thanks.

OMG I discovered MP3Tag yesterday. AMAZING. Thank you for this tip!
here try this: gallery excluder app

it excludes wht u want to and not!
I've stopped using the gallery and uninstalled it. Moved onto an app called Just Pictures, you can hide and exclude folders and pictures and such.
And Music i've gotten rid of the stock music player and just run MIUI player. Has the option to exclude files under a certain size (good for avoiding ringtones).
on CM7 the following works:
using the stock file manager, go to the folder which contains the files you don't want to appear in the gallery / music player. Then go to settings and there you have "exclude from media scan".
.nomedia file in the folder...simple

Which will keep it from seeing ANY media in the folder, like your MP3s...
Definitely best to embed the album art in the MP3.
Anyone know where the stock Music app is getting the album art from?
I took some mp3s where I purposefully changed the tags to bogus data--for an unrelated test--and put them in their own folder on the phone and it is giving it the original artists album art.
How's it doing that?
I'd like to know this too. I was putting the album covers in the same folders as the mp3's, which works for the music player to show the correct albums. But then in my gallery I have all the albums showing up as their own folder. Would like to just be able to put them all into one folder if possible?
