how can i make my album art show up for mp3's in play music? these are files that I've ripped on my own, not ones purchased through the play store.
I've got albumart.jpg's in the album folders, but they don't show up in the music app. This method worked fine using the HTC music app on my old One S.
Just use iTunes, and add the Album Art that way. Works perfectly fine for me.

Or if you're using Google Music, you can easily search for an album image on your computer and set it through their web interface.
Try renaming the files to folder.jpg. Or embed the artwork in each MP3 (I do this and it works fine with Google Music).
Unfortunately none of those methods worked for me so I remembered the old trick of clearing data from the app and that did it, at least for all but a couple stubborn albums.

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?
Album Art Grabber from the Market.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a spin and report later.

Worked great except I have 2 songs with same art. I can get that sorted. Thanks for the tip.

No problem.
Hello guys I have a bit of an issue with the Google play music widget, it doesn't display album art from albums I've imported manually but does with music present installed on the phone. If i open one of the albums from the widget, the app displays the imported album artwork fine. What am I missing?

Happens to me to, I guess its a bug of the nexus 4 or jellybean
MIne does this too. I displays some but not others. It's wierd.
I have the same problem on my Nexus 10. Seems like the My Library widget only displays the artwork for media stored in the Play cloud not on the device itself. Google should fix this.
@HankStorm Yeah I had just copied my albums to the PC, then uploaded to cloud, I can now see album artwork from the widget and download the albums from there to my phone if I so wish. Only took about an hour to do ha!

It's a real shame Google won't let you upload straight from your device as I download a lot of mix tapes straight to my phone.

Kill any other media players you have running. That worked for me. Widget was back in an instant.

Thanks for the advice, the widget worked fine to start off with. It just didn't show artwork for albums imported manually and stored locally on the phone. It's sorted now though.

Download apps like album art grabber which will get u all the art work .
after that just clear the cache and force close the play music app and reopen it all the albums will appear

As I said in original post. The albums already contain artwork. The app displays it just fine, the widget doesn't. It did fix by uploading the albums to cloud. But I will try the fc as you suggested next time and see what happens. Thanks

Same boat. I thought about using the Play Music system with the cloud and all to see what happens... but man, what a bunch of extra stuff to do.
Call me old school but I've never used any kind of 'manager' I just copy and paste, how does it get more simple?
I'm having this issue and it's very annoying. album art grabber doesn't work it thinks most of my albums already have art and the ones that have zero it downloads something but it never appears even after clearing the app cache and force closing.

Seeing as it's only a problem with the widget I abandoned it. Not worth uploading everything and then having to distinguish between On Device or not, potentially streaming files that are available locally.
Hey folks,
I just got some music from a classmate and tried to play it on my device. It won't with every music player app I tried. (Apollo, Play Music, winamp and two or three more..)
I guess I have to convert them to mp3, but I wonder what program is the most convenient. I would love to have my Tags (Title, Album etc.) taken over.
What program provides such functionality?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to uninstall and re-install "Google Play Music" from the market?
Otherwise go to Settings > Apps and clear App Data
Tried to do both( uninstall updates and clear data) however is not working

Connect phone to a PC and check for music and artwork cache folders under Android folder.
Remove them, disconnect phone, restart phone and try again.
Is the music on the phone, or in the cloud?
My music is in the storage. Ill try that method when i get home

I think the folders are;
Internal Storage\Android\data\com.google.android.misic
Internal Storage\Android\data\com.android.providers.media\albumthumbs
If you still have issues, then move (not copy) all the Music files to your PC and check the ID3v2 tags in Windows Media Player or iTunes.
Some tag editors may change more than just the album art. Fix them there, then move them back, or get a Google Music account and upload them to the cloud. You can edit the tags in the cloud with a desktop browser as well. I have more than 11,000 songs in the cloud and less issues than when I only kept a small number on my phone.
Also its label .mpga instead of .mp3

Most of the album art on the stock music app are fine but there's 4 I came across that have album covers that don't match with the music. They were there when I downloaded the song but I didn't care about them since I was using Poweramp but I wanted to switch to stock for the air gestures and adapt sound. Anyways... I tried transferring the 4 songs to my computer to edit the tags using an mp3 tag editor and transferred them back on my phone and it didn't work. I also tried deleting the songs from my phone and putting the album art-less songs back. The same artworks still remain. I also used a couple of tag editors from the play store. Still no luck. Any ideas how I can remove these annoying artwork from my music player? Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem. You need to force start android's media scanner. Unfortunately, you can't do that manually without an external app, like that one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
If that doesn't work, go to app manager and clear "Media Storage" data, then run this app again.
