Note sure dude - keep us posted if you get it fixed. Saw LG G2, thinking about getting it.
Thank you for bringing this up, it's something I'd like to check on my phone. I know that just because your music has art in iTunes (whether you bought tracks, or ripped them from a CD), it doesn't translate over into the Android player. I spent a long weekend manually downloading and tagging most of my collection with Mp3tag, a free program. It checks your music library (you tell it which folder to search) and allows you to edit tag information, including art. It also will search your files against a couple of databases, including Amazon, to attempt to find the artwork.

I just found S2P and it's great album art flip feature and realized....I don't have much album art...
Is there an application out there that will download album art for me?
I download conduits pocket player, which does this...but I can't find where it puts the image.
Thanks,
Matt
i dont know if you like this its kind of bothersome but i found this thing called mp3tags.what you do is find your music that doent have any art and embed the art into the mp3 yourself.its simple but if you have alot of mp3`s then you may not like it
I use windows media player ( on my computer )... with the old urge program..... and when i right click a song it gives me the option to find the album info on line or insert my own.
it compares your song with a online library and updates it with the full name .... and album cover.
I think i have an automatic option on mine because it seems as if it searches for them automatically when ever I buy new mp3 with out album covers.
once everything is updated just sync it to your phone using windows media and you should be good. All my music is organized, rated, and with full album info.
What do i have to do to get album art to show on every album in media player and media panel some show and some dont.Do you need to us art that is a specific size. Please help

Hi,
I use a tool called Tagrunner and it integrates the Album Art in the .mp3. I think there are also some freeware tools that do that...
I think there is a way to add a .jpg file in the album folder but for me the method to integrate the picture directly in the .mp3 is better...

Yes i do but advice is what i want not telling off.
Update on this issue.
I used mp3Tag to check all my music. Many already had coverart tagged in them but the X1a would not show it. I then realized that the ones that were showing were 300x300 pixels or less. The X1a may show larger files but my larger files were off iTunes and 600x600 and they definitely would not show.
So I went out to mog.com and found all my artwork in smaller file sizes. I attached the new artwork using mp3Tag and presto, everything works now. It took a bit of time but if you want it to work, this is the only way.
in order to visualize the cover, I use TAGScanner, and integral the cover within every mp3 album.
Making this, I can see all the covers some in Music, of the Media Xperience Panel.

ummmm yea dont be a *****
Anybody know a way to do this? When I add them in iTunes they don't stay embedded on my G2. Is there a better way to do this? Or a way to do this on the phone itself?
I'm curious too, same problem here. It seems any I've manually added to iTunes will sync over through DoubleTwist or copying, but if I let iTunes add them they get lost somewhere along the way.
Album Art Grabber is a free app on the market that will add them through the phone for completeness, but I'd prefer to know how they are disappearing.
I am not sure how some files keep the artwork and some don't, but I use MP3TaggerPro on the phone to correct.

I can't confirm that it works because I'm still in Iraq far from where my G2 waits, but I use MP3 Tag for my tag editing needs. You can edit existing tags, or add/subtract new tag info and embed album art. The batch editing feature is GREAT with audiobooks. Works awesome with a Zune HD.

You're a life saver.. didn't realize this would let me apply album art from my SD card...
Doesn't help with sync issues but I don't really care about that.
Can someone please tell me the best way to save album art? Everytime I update or change roms I lose the cover art. Now I am currently using "Cover Art Downloader" which will automatically find the covers in batch mode when you want, but I was wondering if there is a way to save it with the music on the ext. sd card. Does anyone know how to do this?
I am using the same app. I don't think there's a way to save them. Every time I flash a new rom I have to redownload them too. Its a pain!

If you sort music by album, there's a way to do:
You can grab the album cover pic from amazon, scan it yourself, or search, and put it to corresponding folder with audio files.
I did the same thing and I have album cover on every album folder.
I use mediamonkey to organize my mp3s and it has the ability to embed the cover art into the mp3 itself so it always stays with the music. Media monkey also has the ability to sync playlists using the media player usb mode on the phone.
where do you get media monkey? i don't see it in the market.

Yea, you wouldn't - it is a PC application.
It also has the ability to reencode all your music on the fly while transferring. I keep all my music in archive quality MP3 and Flac files, but I don't want it to take up that much space on my phone, so I have it automatically transcode everything to 64Kbps WMA on transfer, which sounds ok in my cheap earbuds anyhow. The downside is that I lose my embedded album art, so keep in mind that the embedded album art and the transcoding to save space are mutually exclusive if you use Media Monkey. Both features are great, you just have to pick which one is more important to you.

Just be aware that if you do this, all the album cover pictures will now show up in the gallery which kind of sucks if you have a lot of albums.
what does music player look for?
Where does the music player look for album art, and where? An image file with the same album name? It is ok with embedded art too?
If you use poweramp it will just re dl the set for you or you can manually do it through album art app. I know this didn't answer you exactly but it's a solution
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

I had this same issue and my way around that was to delete all of my old cover art and then use "Album Art Grabber" from the Market, which collects everything automatically and puts it into 1 folder.
In the end, I have 1 folder in "My Gallery" with all of my album artwork and everything is nicely organized in one place. I also think you can choose the folder you want to save your artwork to....At the very least, you could always copy the artwork folder and place it wherever you want (SD Card or Internal HD).
Hope that helps!

.nomedia - As in create a file named .nomedia in the folder and nothing from that folder will show up in the gallery.

Won't that also keep your MP3s in the folder from showing up in the music player?

If you guys dont mind spending a little money Poweramp does all this automatically.

I listen to mostly hiphop and r&b and the audio is great. I plug it up to my car auido jack and sounds amazing through my ported subs. Also really good thru headsets.
I personally started using this program when stock android and touchwiz music player was playing the audio from installed games, ringtones, some videos, movies, and podcast.
This program only plays music form the folders you select. THis works great with the vibrant having 2 seperate memory cards. Because I have music in the internal/external.
Edit: I also wanted to add that cover art got on my nerves when I have atleast 100 albums on my sd cards. Its not always simple as adding a picture to the album folder. You usually have to rename them to Cover.jpg/Cover.jpeg/Albumart.jpg etc. I have majority of my music on my external 16gb and it had compatibility problems when having certain albums in the same folder. Poweramp takes care of all of that. I dont pay for a ton of apps but this one I would recommend.
if you get the "donate" version of cover art downloader, there is an option in the settings to "embed cover art into id3 tag (mp3 only).

I don't believe so because it is a flag used by the gallery app, not the music player app. Any application can behave however it is programmed of course, but most picture apps honor the file and most multimedia apps don't.
The best way is also the biggest pain-in-the-butt way.
Use a computer program on a desktop computer to embed the album art into the mp3 itself. Then transfer the mp3 files back to your vibrant.
I use MP3 Tagger, which also lets me correct MP3 ID data.
It is a work in progress for me. I have done all of my mp3 files beginning with 'A' and 'B'.
At my current pace I should be done in about 5 years.

I'm positive the .nomedia file will keep audio from showing up in the music player. I did this to keep lets golf sounds and other game sounds from showing up there. So that file would keep the image from showing up in the gallery, but also the mp3's wouldn't show up in music player either.

Iam using the stock google music app and I synced my music with Windows Media Player 12 from my Windows 7 laptop. I have all my Album info but no Artist info. I've search for a way to get the info and I have removed all my music and resynced. Is there an app that can help or did I do something wrong when I synced my music. Thanks for the help.

I haven't used WMP in a long time but I'm guessing when you say sync, you actually hooked up the tab to you laptop and than synced within WMP?
If so, than maybe just try directly copying the mp3's over from your laptop to your micro sd card.
Tried that too no luck. Thanks for the suggetion.

There are a couple ways to get artist and album info into your music. There are some apps on Android that can do it, but I personally find that it's music better to deal with doing this on a PC or Laptop than within Android.
The first and easiest method is to use WMP. Once your music is in a place WMP can actually find it, ie: a monitored folder of your PC, by default I think it's My Music but you can add folders manually, then you can open up WMP and hit the Find Album Info button, and go ahead and match your tracks to what you see in there. This works best if you have the music already arranged in folders using the Artist and Album names.
The second way is manually, there's an application called MusicBrainz Picard which is really good at identifying mp3s and also tagging them. If you ripped your music yourself from CDs or purchased them from Amazon or iTunes it should find the information and will match it up for you.
If MusicBrainz doesn't work for you, the last ditch program is Mp3tag which can look the information up based on Album or Artist names, then you can have it batch tag the files for you, based on your arranging the mp3s into the proper order, or you can just tag a few - whichever you prefer.
There are other tools as well but these are the programs I use, so I can only speak for them.
Good Luck.

Than you could try a different media player and see if google music is the problem.
Theres pleanty of free ones in the market.

I sort of got my artist info. I downloaded IDFixer from the marketplace for free the only program that reads the née artist info is the Acer Media app. Hopefully Google will update their app to fix this.
