Hi,
The stock music player app on my I9505 only detects a few album art covers while the remaining 80-90% are being displayed without any album art. The id3 tags are correct, each album in its own folder with a single jpg file as the album art in each folder. I've used these same folders on my old i9000 and the music player always detected stuff properly. I've restarted the phone, forced media scanner to run again, and its still not detecting the images. I've stored all my music on the external sd card, but that can't be the reason coz it does detect album art for a few albums. Any suggestions?
Anyone?
Album art doesn't seem to turn up even on the google music app.. Any help here guys?

Whenever i launch the stock sense music app, all album arts are a picture of eminem reloading a silver gun, which are completely wrong album art.. I've tried to delete album thumb from sdcard and rebooted my phone many times. Its pretty annoying when i got 1100 songs and all of them got slim shady album art!
Please help :/
Haha no one needs that much Slim Shady.
I have similar strange issues with the Music app. Not that severe, most of my art shows up properly, but some of it just won't show up no matter what I do. I've even formatted my SD card and put my music back fresh. I'm wondering if the Music app has some sort of cache for album art that's stored on the phone itself. Next time I flash a new ROM, I will try formatting my SD card at the same time to make sure I get rid of any cache, plus any album art that's stored with the music on my SD, and I'll report back here.
I was having problems with art on the stock music app. Bought Album Art Grabber from the market and solved it. However I have now changed over to MixZing as my music player and that grabs the art just fine.
I tranfered some music folders from my computer to my SD card and now I have Album Cover Art in my Gallery how do I fix

google "android .nomedia" and read the guides from there
I used ".nomedia" and it works like a charm.
It's possible the music folders had image files in them along with the music. Depending on what you use to play your music on the computer, the image files could very well hidden files on your computer.
For example, Windows Media Player does this when it looks up song info to fill out the ID3 tag info in a file.
Although I'm not sure if a Windows file attribute of hidden would affect how it displays on Android.
Make sure your album art is in the same folder as the music relating to it and rename it 'albumart' (it has to be a jpg file). That way the gallery will ignore it.
Easier way to prevent this issue would be to not have album art in the music folder, or simply save the art to the ID3 tag. Album art info should be in the MP3 file itself if your did that.
Otherwise, what C.Slater said works best or use the .nomedia trick (which is still annoying to do).
Some players wont display embedded art.
Had the same problem, just deleted all the music album art jpgs from the sd card and that fixed it. Album art is stored in the files themselves it seems so they are not needed.
My old touch pro 2 stored album art in jpgs so that's where the problem came from.

Download music player "3" by Filipe Abranters.
Search MARKET place with words "RockON" and select "3".
Best music player there is, and it can download art and other stuff for free and quick as hell.
And it's great widget to.
And you'll never have to worry about art albums !
I installed a cab to automatically load the music player on startup, which fixed my main issue with the Sense music player... slow loading. However, I'm still having an issue updating album art. Everytime I do, most of the album art is incorrect, and completely irrelevant to the album it's associated with. I'm syncing my music with WMP, where all the album art is correctly updated... but for some reason the album art isn't syncing.
Is there any way to sync my music AND album art? I have a lot of albums, and really don't want to go through every one of them and rename the album art.
Thanks in advance for any help!
i don't use WMP for synch'ing, instead mediamonkey.
from what i know, the album art (the image files) per album must be put in the same folder.
so whatever music transfer software you use, it must be stored on HD2 per album.
hope it helps.
I just put the music & everything on my storage card manually & the sense player automatically finds it. For album art make sure to put a pic named folder.jpg in there with whatever album art you want.
Anyone know where the stock Music app is getting the album art from?
I took some mp3s where I purposefully changed the tags to bogus data--for an unrelated test--and put them in their own folder on the phone and it is giving it the original artists album art.
How's it doing that?
I'd like to know this too. I was putting the album covers in the same folders as the mp3's, which works for the music player to show the correct albums. But then in my gallery I have all the albums showing up as their own folder. Would like to just be able to put them all into one folder if possible?
so basically i edited album art of all my songs in mp3tag and every music player i found on google play shows them correctly (every song has it's own album art) except samsung music, it shows same random album art on all songs. i have screenshots from samsung music and poweramp attached down there. does anyone have solution?
