I have been having issues with Pandora with Lollipop. Prior to Lollipop, the album art displayed on the lock screen. I have found that when the album art is displayed on the lock screen, the artist, album and track info seems to transfer over BT to my car fine. Is it just me or is there an issue? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Pandora several times to no avail. Google Music play seems to work fine.
TIA,
Wjones
Not 100%, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the lock/security method you use. Swipe to unlock w/no other password/pin/etc seems to work.

I am only using the swipe. No pin or password.
Thanks for the reply.

I have the same issue with my note 4 on lollipop. I use swipe unlock as well.
I googled and can't find an answer

so i know the mediascape has this function but every time i try and get an album art it NEVER finds it.
anyone ever actually obtain the album art for a song?
Yes, this has worked for me with great results. But u have to be connected to wifi for it to work. Hopefully with an update this can be done via 3g.

so basically everytime i try and get album art it gives me - album art not found. it's freakin' NIN. how do you not find NIN album art!!!??
Yours just doesn't find art for certain albums?
Mine errors out in under a minute, doesnt even get around to searching. lol
Mine use to work fine but I just tried for some new albums I got and it either told me can't be found or error O_O I don't understand these are mainstream well known albums and it worked fine a week ago
I've noticed that if you file the mp3's in seperate folder by artist then album it seems to not like that ?
I tend to use an mp3 tagger on the pc first to get the right track details on the mp3's first though, then the album art works a lot better for me ?
Not working here either. I get "system error" when I start downloading (after the phone has counted the available album art). Reset app, restart phone, etc does not help.
I used MediaGo to upload all my music. MediaGo added album art to some of the albums. Is that also the case for those of you who get error messages?
me too, I get "system error" while trying to get album art!
I'm using the cube or 3 for playing mp3's and album art comes really easy!

so to clarify -
some people on the X10 are getting an error message while trying to get album art while using the X10. basically you play a song on the phone with mediascape, left button -> get album art -> error message
for me, i get to that screen, i don't get an error message but it doesn't find the album art.
i've used mediago and i've updated some songs. but i don't see why it's not work and why it asks for wifi connection to even get an album art.
Yes, system error while trying to get album art!

same with me i always get error
Update:
I AM able to fetch album art for the song that is playing. (Of course, it doesn't ALWAYS find a match, but it works.)
BEFORE, the system error occured when I chose "fetch album art" from Mediascape home screen (all albums at once).
At the moment, I seem to be downloading 284 covers at once!
Those of you who get "system error" should try downloading album art for a single song first, and then download from the home screen.
If that doesn't work, try playing a song while you attempt to fetch album art. (I've got no clue if that helps, all I know is that I am now playing a song and for the first time downloading tons of album art.)
For those who are struggling.
I use album art grabber from the market. It scrapes album art for you but also gives the ability to add your own e.g. from SD or browser.
lol i didn't even know you can get album art in the main menu of mediascape. i get an error right now. but it says it finds album art. started to download and by the 2nd art it gets the error.
error

Never worked for me so I downloaded Album Art Grabber from the Marketplace. It (usually) found the correct album art straight away but if it didn't I just went to Amazon, downloaded the album image to my SD card then used Album Art Grabber to link it with the songs in question.
hi guys got my x10i yesterday,,, pretty amazing android phone dammm....
i haven't experiencing any problem about album art on my song every thing is perfect sound are louder than i thought... i used MP3TAG to put album on my songs...
well what i did is i used MEDIA GO to transfer song.. slideME Apps. really cool... i live in DUBAI....
I'm transferring music from my computer to the Galaxy S2 via Kies/Wifi but the album art for all the songs except two are the same. There seems to be no way to change the album art on the S2. In Kies I can see the tiny thumbnail when playing the song is the correct one.
Bug ?
I have this issue too, when your looking at the music in list format, the artwork is all differant, but when you play a file the bigscreen artwork is the same

2 Solutions although not a direct fix for your issue.
Firstly, download one of the Album Art Grabber apps from the market and update your album art. There are paid apps and free ones, all offer similar functionality. Auto Scan and change individual albums.
Secondly, buy PowerAmp. There's not much to say other than it provides the best Android music experience hands down. Aswell as offering a multitude of eq settings and options, it allows you to change individual album art on the fly.
Good luck.
Regards.
I managed to fix this so see if it works. With mp3tag you need to make the album title unique for each mp3 you want to have a unique picture. I had lots of single tunes and the album tag was blank. Because of this they all took on the same album art. If you make the album the filename which can be done as a batch process they all display ok.
My only problem is getting albums to play in track order, the SII always puts things in alphabetical order, very annoying for mix cds.
Thank you both.
I went for the MP3Tag option as that's what I've been using and it's worked fine !
thanks this fixed my problem as well
Hi thanks for the tips

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.

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.
Hey guys
So I use Spotify a lot

Same problem here with an S4 on Vodafone UK. There haven't been any firmware updates so perhaps the Spotify app has been updated, breaking the lock screen controls.
Wipe data for Spotify.
Your synced songs won't be deleted
Oddly enough I noticed it had just started working again today. I hadn't done anything with Spotify so who knows what fixed it.

Most of the album art on the stock music app are fine but there's 4 I came across that have album covers that don't match with the music. They were there when I downloaded the song but I didn't care about them since I was using Poweramp but I wanted to switch to stock for the air gestures and adapt sound. Anyways... I tried transferring the 4 songs to my computer to edit the tags using an mp3 tag editor and transferred them back on my phone and it didn't work. I also tried deleting the songs from my phone and putting the album art-less songs back. The same artworks still remain. I also used a couple of tag editors from the play store. Still no luck. Any ideas how I can remove these annoying artwork from my music player? Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem. You need to force start android's media scanner. Unfortunately, you can't do that manually without an external app, like that one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
If that doesn't work, go to app manager and clear "Media Storage" data, then run this app again.
