Artist art on Google play music? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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:

Market app: AudioTagger will help you change ID3 tags and album art.
MediaFix could also be of interest in repairing media library.

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

Did you reset the Cache and data of the musicplayer and the "Medienspeicher" (dont know the english name, but i suppose your german, too )
Go to Settings/Apps/All and go to your musicplayers and "medienspeicher" and stop them, reset all data and clear cache.
Then restart your devices. Worked for me.

Album Art on local files [SOLVED]

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.

hide album art from gallery.......

I want to hide album covers from the picture viewer so I use a .nomedia file in the 'root' folder where all my music is in per groups folders.
It works which is good
But it is also hiding the music from the music player (winamp).
Trying various things to 'get around' it and of course googling but does anyone know a 'solution'?
using standard 4.3 picture viewer.
Thanks
Just make a top level folder and call it Media,place all music in there.
This was a known quirk at least 4yrs ago.
What Android should have done and could maybe do in the future is have different kinds of .nomedia files.
Example.....
.nopictures
.nomusic
That's why i don't use the crap stock gallery App.
I use QuickPic and then I can hide the folders like Music or other folders with unwanted pictures
Nomedia files hide MEDIA
Music, pictures and videos is media

I used QP in the past but like features of stock gallery.
It also seems that the media folder solution is just a temporary thing
Stock gallery also has the hide feature but it doesn't actually work.
So still looking for a solution............
Open the Music app once so it will load those files. After that you can delete those files but the album art will still stay with the music.
Best way it seems is to embed the art into the music then can get rid of album arts.
