Does anyone know how to add album art to the Hero music player? I have most of my music tagged in WMP, however no pics are coming up whatsoever :-(
Not sure really but I do know there is a program in the market that adds album covers to music but I can't recall the name offhand.
Depends on how there tagged... try loading a mp3 in Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de) and see if the album art displays in that. And make shure that it's the only album art embedded in the mp3 file.
I've also found out that sometimes the music player fails to load the album art until you actually play the mp3 files (another bug?!? Never! ) Be warned however that loading loads of album art in the music player only makes it more memory hungry and slooooowwww....
I use aTunes (yeap, that's it - With an "a") to add album art, tags and lyrics to my songs.

The player works well for me, I think you only have to keep the album art under 600x600 pix and everything will be smooth.
Hmmm, this all seems too complicated. Found a *sweet* app though:

Costs 99p, but well worth it!
There is a program that can add the art into the media file so it will show up on your hero http://www.mediamonkey.com/

You can use itunes to embed the album art or you can do this.
E.g.
First Folder: Music
Inside the music folder create more folders for the different albums
e.g. Music/GreatestHits/
then get a JPG picture from the internet for the album, rename it to "AlbumArt" and place it in that same folder, and that should do the trick.
Hope this helps,

Try Album Art Grabber... works beautifully

This is a Centre for managing Music & Videos. It should replace all your other Media Apps (Album, WMP...)

so it's a UI that puts all the music and video apps together? Why need that? Why not just browse to the MultiMedia folder and thats it?
This looks very interesting, unfortunately I cant help you due to my limited (very limited ) know how

Not for browsing apps, that should be like the Windows Media Player with better features, because WMP is bad.
It should replace all your Media Apps (Album, Videoplayer, Musicplayer)- All on one app.
Sorry I haven´t write about this ideas.. - I´ll correct this soon !!

Hopefully some1 can build music player with searching & display lyrics like TTPOD for symbian...
cool idea.. but i haven´t any idea to build such a player... hmm..
no helper?
Couldn't you just use Nitrogen or S2P or TCPMP?
Dreaming isn't a bad thing at all...
hi buddy, is good for omnia i900? thnx
i this a vga or wvga? this we looking forward to release!
It looks so nice, but it also looks so dead... Can anyone confirm that people are working on this project or if they have abandoned it?
thanks
I'm not entirely sure if this is in the right section, since the Mp3 files work fine on Windows, I'm assuming it's an incompatibility with the phone.
Anyway, put all my music on my phone, noticed that some songs worked, and some didn't. I looked at the songs in Windows that did work, and didn't. I noticed a trend.
Songs that did work have album art, like this.

Songs that didn't work look like this,
The ones that don't work also don't have any information under the "Details" tab in the properties window.
I'm wondering how to get these MP3 files to be playable on my phone. I've tried Mixzing, and the stock player.
Thanks in advance,
Did you compare bit rates and sampling rates as well as what version of id3 tag is on hose files? Other than that not sure what else to look for.
The files that don't work don't have anything listed under the details tab. So I'm not sure of the bitrate, or the id3 tag.
Load them up in a player like WinAMP, where you can drill down and look at the detailed properties of each file. That should help you to find what the true differences are.
Alright, the ones that work are id3v2.4|id3v1, the ones that don't are id3v2.3|id3v1
Thanks for that recommendation of using an audio player.

Hmm, IF the root cause is really the ID3 tags, I'd suggest the following two next steps.
1. Try PowerAmp - that thing seems to play ANYTHING
2. Get Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html). Load your files/tag data and re-save them all with the same tag format.
When I open them in MP3tag, I notice the songs that don't work, have no bit rate, codec, frequency, or length listed. However, it shows them as having the same tag...
Not sure if this info helps any but I use MixZing Player (free one) to play MP3 w/album art. I have played all my songs on shuffle and have not found any that would not play.
I have not tried the stock player yet.
I'm having a couple of problems with my music collection and I have not been able to find a fix for on google, here or precentral.
The first problem is that album art is not displaying correctly anywhere. The art shows up in my pictures and looks fine. In the native media player 1/2 the albums are black and 1/2 display a question mark. In AudiophileHD a few display the right art, 1/2 of them display a picture that appear to be corrupted, some display question marks and some show a picture of a record. I attached an example at the bottom.
The second problem is that when I add music to audiophile by selecting "play all" it plays the songs in alphabetical order. They show up in the correct order on the album, but unless I add each song individually they play in alphabetical order.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Audiophile. I've also deleted and reloaded my music without any change. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks a bunch!

Anyone?
Sorry, I don't check XDA regularly (you just got lucky today). I am updating the metadata parser in Audiophile to better detect embedded image art. Hopefully by next week if should be in the developer build. New version will also have lag free scrolling and a bunch of other features. Thanks for the patience, and please post over at PreCentral in the future if you want a response.
As above ? What does lyrics do in official music app ?
I just tried checking it and unchecking it ! And nothing happens ?
What is it for any way ?
It does not work for me , is there a way to turn it on instead of using lyrics apps like tunewiki or musixmatch ?

If the song you are playing has the lyrics embedded they will show over the top of the artwork

the lyrics field is a standard field in id3 tag v2, however, it is very rarely used.
if you want lyrics for your music, you should check musixmatch from the play store. it is a pretty good player, that is able to download lyrics and ID music as well.

I did use it alot of time only when seeking lyrics .. But normaly , I always use the stock music app .. The only one I could browse and play by folders ... Not only artists or albums or mixed all together .. And I've got over 2000 song .It is hard to play 'em all together ..
Thanks for tag info . Made me know right place to embed lyics manually

I've used two Android phones, a Samsung Galaxy Ace (2.3.6) and an LG L90 (4.4.2). Both phones have the same problem - their default music players compress the album art of .mp3 to undesirable quality.
I've edited the tags of all my .mp3 files with a 500x500 cover and every album folder has a file of the cover named 'folder.jpg', but this problem still persists.
The stock L90 music player has a very nice album viewer, but the quality is just hear-breaking. I'm looking if anyone has any solutions how to fix the album art quality. Here's a pic of how it looks right now:

For those having the same problem as me, I could only find one work-around that fixes the album art on the actual player. It's manual work for each album, but it does appear to function:
---On Android 2
* Go to SD card -> Android -> data -> com.android.providers.media -> albumthumbs. You should find a list of files without extensions and with random numbers as names.
* Open each file with an image viewer until you find the album art you wish to change (it should take some time since you can't tell which file belongs to which album).
* Note down the name of the file.
* Place the high-quality album art into the folder and rename it with the name you noted down.
---On Android 4
* Same as above, only the location of the low-quality album art files should be on your internal SD card (on my L90, the location is /storage/emulated/0). Then it's the same: Android -> data -> com.android.providers.media -> albumthumbs.
The results:
This method does fix the cover of the album that is currently playing, but I have not found a way of fixing the art shown while viewing all albums on the device (first pic of my post). Anyone have any suggestions how to get them in high quality?
I know that most of you will suggest getting an alternative player, but this stock one is well-integrated with the device and has a very simplistic interface. It would be the perfect player if it weren't for that god damned album art!
...soo, no suggestions? Or is this forum just a bit too crowded?
I have Xperia M with latest Walkman (version 8.4.A.3.1). And the quality of album art is low. I have mp3 with high quality album art (embedded). I think this is android bug.
Thanks for you solution! I think the player uses the same thumbnail for both. To elaborate, the album art of the song when you play it is the same thumbnail file as the album art when you go to the "Albums" page. However, though your solution works for when you're playing the song, it doesn't seem to work for the "Albums" page. I'm not sure if this made sense.
