I have a number of tracks that have Album Art embeded. For some strange reason the the music player selects the same graphic for every track.
Have no problem with a complete album with a folder.jpg file, but my problem is that I have a folder with a collection of MP3 files. They all look fine in Media Monkey and MP3Tag.
Update: Just noticed that a hidden file is created (~hTC_Misc-MP3.jpg) and this appears why all the graphics are the same. Is there a way to stop this so the graphic is read from embeded image??
Any ideas ???
Well, usually, different tracks come from different albums. Create your folder structure accordingly.
If your different tracks situation is a compilation, than the compilation is an album itself and needs an album art of its own.
i got that problem when I was using the HD2 ONLY in landscape mode, are you using it in landscape mode?
I need landscape mode while driving, but it just doesnt work properly, so sad... have to use pocketplayer

I have a folder with a collection of about 50 random tracks, so it would be a bit of a pain to put them in different folders, but I get your point. Perhaps the only thing to do id to create my own compilation cover.
Perhaps this is just a pit fall with the standard media player.

It's excellent. You can remove any unwanted artwork that is embedded and if you want give each track it's own cover.
All my artwork is correct after using this.
Ok, I might call this as an Album art Update problem..
When I do an update album art for all song.. It shows "link to gracenote" But I doubt it actually updates anything.
But when I do an update album art for current song. It does update the album art for the same. Also it shows an Album art download result, in the same place.
Is there a way to get it fixed.
I am on a Stock ROM , SIM Free..Specifically (1.48.720.2 WWE)
Mansoor...
Well any help on this..
Can't help with your problem but I can confirm this facility is quite rubbish. Sometimes no art at all and sometime the wrong art!

I've never bothered with album art - more interested in the music - it is interesting to find out that you can embed art into ID3 tags. I'll give it a go.
Also take a look at mp3tag at http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ which is donationware, I use it for files and it's perfect for me.

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?
Hi,
I have a compilation album (Ministry of Sound) 3cd, is there a way to get the player to see them as 3cds but without naming the albums cd1,cd2 & cd3. I have tried using Mp3tag. Putting discnumber 1/3,2/3 & 3/3 but it only shows up as one album.
Any help would be grateful....
Cheers.
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?
