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.

same problem here on nexus 5 ,play music app shows art work fine the widget doesn't, seems a bit long winded to have to upload it elsewhere and then back to phone ,surely the widget gets its info from the app?

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.
Everything I have tried is rubbish I only want to sync selected iTunes songs not whole music collection
Have tried Google music , double twist and was sync all useless..

I also found this annoying, especially while watching video etc. The only solution I ever found was to mute the sounds, which stopped the alerts interrupting the music or video playback, and as a bonus, you still hear the ringer through the headphones
If you have/use tasker, you can create a policy that detects when your watching films or listening to music and automatically sets the alerts to mute, then sets it back when your done.
But how to mute? I selected mute sounds in configuration and player stopped too.

I just mute it using the mute/vbrate toggle in the quick setting menu and still am able to play music via google play or videos
Hi,
I have a little problem with Google Play Music app on my nexus 4. I copied a few albums of music to the phone and when I choose any album, tracks are sorted in alphabetical order. I want to sort them in "standard" order - by track number on the album. How to do it? A searched it in settings, but didn't find it..
Thanks for answers..

This is a issue with the app, always out of order, I use mp3dit and update the album through that by changing the track order. It's a pain but it does fix it.

Thanks for your answer. Editing every album is not very comfortable.. Never mind, I will use Walkman app, it works ok. Hope Google will fix it soon..

How can I kill the Music app when I am done using it. It is still attached to the play controls!
This is a very annoying issue. I can not believe Google missed it.
I don't use the music app. But have had other apps do similar. Have you tried opening the Play Store app or the Movies app and then close it? I've found opening and closing an app that does it correctly may help. The apps with issues just need an update to fix them.

After restarting the nexus player it still has the play/pause button connected to the music app. I ended up disabling it completely.
No if I can find an eq that works on it.

I believe you have to hit the stop in the app (on screen)to disconnect the app. Also if you start another app that connects to the play/pause button it should disconnect as well.
