I use torrent and never faced problems

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?

try playerpro from the market, works really well. I dont have your problem, as I tend to get a little OCD about my music and they way the files are named

Music player

OK, I've searched all over the forums and the market and google, but I have yet to find a player that does what I'm looking for... All I want is a "dumb" player. My requirements are this: play by folder, system library with selectable folder scans so it doesn't play ringtones and notifications as music and simple playlist management i.e. Add folder... essentially like winamp for windows. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've tried doubletwist mixzing and winamp and all have some of what I want but none have all. Help please...

try poweramp

Just try ttpod, wow thats amazing music player and its free...
Sent from my LG-P500

Only problem with ttpod is when selecting a music folder the songs play out of order. My mp3 collection is organized artist> album> (track number) - (song name).mp3 it keeps wanting to play based on (song name) alphabetically. Anyone know any way to fix this? Power amp is great but as limited as my income is, I can't justify paying 4.99 for an app.

Where to put mp3 files so they show up in Google Play Music App?

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?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

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

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

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!

Google play music application

The frustrat against android strikes again.
I'm just curious to know why in the world the songs available on Google play music on the Web keep getting double or tripled on my phone. I aprocimstely have around 800 songs on my entire playlist on Google music but on my phone it decides that some songs will show in double or triple... Why? Please explain me why?

You should use poweramp its way better and you can delete from there. I don't really know why but it may be categorizing the songs as different categories, artists, genres, etc. I also seen that when adding music that you downloaded from say torrent it sometimes makes double copies of the songs for some reason. I'd seen it happen a lot when I had an iPhone adding music via iTunes and I would have to go through all the songs and search for the doubled songs. But like I said download poweramp find a song that has doubled or tripled and delete the other one or two

The problem is not in the computer itself. It's the application or something. The song is only 1 time in my pc.
Also, does poweramp auto sync with iTunes? Like the music manager does?

it might be seeing a copy on the phone and a "copy" that it streams from their servers.
