I have a folder on my Nexus 4 that contains about 20 albums, all the tracks have album art as I have checked them with mp3tag.
I also have exactly the same folder and data on my Nexus 7.
On my Nexus 4 one of the albums refuses to show the album art whereas it is fine on my Nexus 7. In the play all songs link the art is shown but against the album and the songs it is not. I have tried stopping Google Music and clearing data but it makes no difference.
Anyone have any idea how to resolve.
Also where is the music that is pinned to your device from the cloud stored.
Cheers

Sorted it, I had to remove the google media database.

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.

I have all the .mp3 tracks for each album in a folder. Also in that folder is the cover picture labelled albumart.jpg. Try clearing the data in the Google Play Music app. That forces the player to rescan for music files.
There are apps on Google play store that can do it, such as 'album art grabber' etc

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.
My music on iTunes shows it with cover art, but when I copy and paste it into my nexus 4 music, the artwork doesn't show up. also I have a windows 8 and the “xbox music" on that only shows art for some. How do I get EVERYTHING to show album art work. I downloaded an app called album art fetcher on my nexus 4 and when I do the scan, all the artwork is there, but it doesn't appear when I open "play music" app...??

Go to this link https://accounts.google.com/Service...followup=https://play.google.com/music/listen
Login and right click on your albums and manually change your album art. That's what I did when it didn't show the album art.
Also at times it's the way Apple embed their cover arts, on iTunes singles it's fine but with iTunes albums they embed them different, I usually use MP3Tag and get the artwork and change it to "front cover" and that's the issue out for me.
Is there a way to choose an artist image for music stored locally on the device? (On the internal memory, not on the cloud ) I just get a blank space (see attached pic ) .

Use iTag from Play Store to download the album art, then go to Settings>Apps>Google Play Music and clear data. Then relaunch the app.
As for the artist art, I used to get them when I had the Walkman app (It just showed the artist art downloaded by Walkman) but since I flashed another ROM, I lost Walkman app and now I get blank space too

Right now the only way to get Google Music to display the Artist Art is to upload the music via the desktop (windows/mac) Google Music app :crying:
