Found a few threads on google, but nothing here. All my mp3's are perfectly tagged, and have art embedded. In Music they show up fine, even in the 'last added' tab... but in the widget they do not show up..
In fact these mp3's are from Amazon, so I know they're ok..
Any ideas?
I have found album art only shows in the widget when it is uploaded to google music itself.
I had some music on the N7, all album art showed in the app but not in the widget.
Upload exactly the same files to google music and it all shows up in the widget.

Hmm how did you do that from the UK? Just comes up with 'We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States.'

Ahh yep, was following this guide :/
Hmm managed to get into it on Tor eventually (once in about fifty attempts), but then the guide says once registered you can use from any location... but still getting same message from UK IP. Then I tried to get back in with Tor, and again, with a US IP comes up with the warning! Give up :crying:
Sorry, was about 3 weeks ago I did it, wonder if they blocked it? Though I am still able to upload to and use the service.
There's another guide here that does it differently: http://www.knowyourmobile.com/features/1207574/how_to_enable_google_music_in_the_uk.html
I will try to find the exact guide I used before to see if anything is different to the one I posted.

I have the same problem sometimes... but it does not bother me, as it goes away by itself.
So theres no way for music that is saved locally on my N7 to have its album art show?
i know a way around
just use tunnel bear
select us ip
login into ur Google account from there
and the go to google music
get the music manager
upload some songs
and now turn off tunnel bear
once activated ur google music auccount will not be disable even if u login from original ip
i know this cause i stay in India where google music is disabled and i got it working this way for my account.
Back to original topic
I'd like to know about this too. I have music both on my device and it's also uploaded to Google Play from my computer. Not having album art really bugs me for some reason. I live in the USA so I don't have to do anything weird with Google Play, it works fine.
EDIT: I figured it out. I went to my Google account and synced music/library. It shows the same albums but they have artwork note now.

So ever since i got the tab I have been having trouble with putting music on it. Everytime i save songs on the tab from my computer, the songs appear in other albums, the artists names appear for other songs, I get force closes...
Does anyone know what this could be happening?
Also, would a different music player app help solve this problem or organization?
Thanks for the help!
I use mediamonkey to properly name, tag, and include album art. Afterwords, I easily sync the music to my tablet (or drag and drop, depending on the mood).
This method works really well for having organized music on your tablet that's static, the way you set it up to sync in mediamonkey. Hope this helps.
Hey, thanks for the response. You kind of lost me there though... You said you use Mediamonkey to organize it then you pass it onto your tab. Does that mean Mediamonkey is a program on your computer or did i just understand it wrong and it's an app on the tab?
Thanks again! I'm hating the music situation at the moment...
I hate the stock music player and even the Google Music app because...tada..they all FC all the time. Can't even play more than one song.
I use PowerAmp, its the only music app that has ever worked for me on Android, ever !
As for tagging songs, MediaMonkey is good, but i just use iTunes.

Weird thing I was browsing the other date and I found out that there was an update for the music app but the tab never noticed me about it.
Btw it works fine for me

How are you transferring your music to your tab? I use mediamonkey on my PC to manage my music... and then from within mediamonkey I tell it to sync whatever songs or albums I want directly to the tab. I am betting your mp3 tags are getting messed up in the transfer.
Mike
Am really appeciating the help everyone, thanks!
So far still not having much luck...
I am currently trying to use MediaMonley as previously suggested. I am getting tags from the web and that works in general, but sometimes does not work. When doing this, does it alter the orig file? The process i have been using to transfer music is open up "My Music" on my PC where I thought I had things well organized by artist. Then i copy them over to the tab. Should I try syncing through MediaMonkey? How would I do this? Sorry if my questions and understanding are noob like.
Another issue I am having is in my gallery on the tab. Every track has the picture of the Album or whatever which is taking up insane amounts of storage as well just seems dumb...
Will also look into another music player as suggested.
Feel free to comment on any of this. I'm still trying to figure it out and am struggling. Makes me feel like deleting all my music to start over!!!!
Have you tried PlayerPro??
You can pick songs/albums from folders so much easier to organise.

Iam using the stock google music app and I synced my music with Windows Media Player 12 from my Windows 7 laptop. I have all my Album info but no Artist info. I've search for a way to get the info and I have removed all my music and resynced. Is there an app that can help or did I do something wrong when I synced my music. Thanks for the help.

I haven't used WMP in a long time but I'm guessing when you say sync, you actually hooked up the tab to you laptop and than synced within WMP?
If so, than maybe just try directly copying the mp3's over from your laptop to your micro sd card.
Tried that too no luck. Thanks for the suggetion.

There are a couple ways to get artist and album info into your music. There are some apps on Android that can do it, but I personally find that it's music better to deal with doing this on a PC or Laptop than within Android.
The first and easiest method is to use WMP. Once your music is in a place WMP can actually find it, ie: a monitored folder of your PC, by default I think it's My Music but you can add folders manually, then you can open up WMP and hit the Find Album Info button, and go ahead and match your tracks to what you see in there. This works best if you have the music already arranged in folders using the Artist and Album names.
The second way is manually, there's an application called MusicBrainz Picard which is really good at identifying mp3s and also tagging them. If you ripped your music yourself from CDs or purchased them from Amazon or iTunes it should find the information and will match it up for you.
If MusicBrainz doesn't work for you, the last ditch program is Mp3tag which can look the information up based on Album or Artist names, then you can have it batch tag the files for you, based on your arranging the mp3s into the proper order, or you can just tag a few - whichever you prefer.
There are other tools as well but these are the programs I use, so I can only speak for them.
Good Luck.

Than you could try a different media player and see if google music is the problem.
Theres pleanty of free ones in the market.
Temp Fix
I sort of got my artist info. I downloaded IDFixer from the marketplace for free the only program that reads the née artist info is the Acer Media app. Hopefully Google will update their app to fix this.
So i've downloaded the nexus q app for ICS and the newest google play music app and I don't see how i can get music to play on the nexus q.. is there something i'm missing??
is that google music manager required?
thanks in advance.
Yes - you need to download Music Manager on your computer and it will start to upload music to Google Music. Once it's uploaded, it'll show in both the web interface at http://music.google.com/ and in the Google Play Music app.

Ok so if I understand correctly, this Google q is playing music stored on Google music that's been uploaded from a pc, not music that is stored on your phone then...?
Btw can u upload music to Google music directly from ur phone?
Thanks again

Works for me in the Netherlands. Can you login to music.google.com ? The block is only for activation, after that everything should be normal.

It says this service is not yet available in your country. Perhaps the torrc file is not editing correctly.. to change my IP to a US IP address..?
Got it working.... the tor program hasn't been working since the latest update. So I used "hide my IP" instead.

Note sure dude - keep us posted if you get it fixed. Saw LG G2, thinking about getting it.
Thank you for bringing this up, it's something I'd like to check on my phone. I know that just because your music has art in iTunes (whether you bought tracks, or ripped them from a CD), it doesn't translate over into the Android player. I spent a long weekend manually downloading and tagging most of my collection with Mp3tag, a free program. It checks your music library (you tell it which folder to search) and allows you to edit tag information, including art. It also will search your files against a couple of databases, including Amazon, to attempt to find the artwork.
Hey does anyone know how can I get back music album art images for Google Play Music or other music apps? I've tried using Black Player but it only restores album art images for they app but not the other apps thanks in advance. Btw I'm running RR 5.8.0 rom

Yikes. I had a cleaner app do that to me. I'm surprised Google Play Music doesn't have a feature to restore/download missing artwork. Why don't you email the Dev of that app and see if they have any suggestions? I mean the app that deleted your artwork.

I guess it's easier to fix missing artwork on the web browser version of Google Play Music on your computer. Does the android app sync whatever changes you make to the web version if you are signed into the same account for both?
