Can anyone tell me the right way to get all the cover album flow to work. Some of the photos of the album to work and some doesn't. As for Windows Mobile, we need to place on individual folders and rename the photos to "folder.jpg". How do I do it for the HTC Hero?
I did search on the thread and couldn't get anything. Apologies if I do missed-out on the threads.
Thanks!
I use MusicBrainz Picard to get the tag information of the mp3/album.
I manually search the cover art/album art with google.
Then I use Mp3tag to apply the downloaded cover art to the properly tagged album info.
This way, I always get a very nice library in my Hero, complete with album art & info.
Thank you so much for your help. Will try it now.
Download "Album Art Grabber" from the Market and it'll grab all the albums and store them in your SD card.

Hopefully i am missing something simple! How do i stop all my pics and videos from being indexed and revealed via albums? I have made several sub folders in new directories on mem card, but it still gets indexed?
I suppose if there is not a simple control to stop index then is there a good app for password protecting a folder?

I've searched for something like this too, but can't find any way do hide stuff from the album.
Found Photo Vault and Video Vault on market place, only allows 5 files in trial mode, cheap to buy license though. Hides from album, and Linda file manager - seems to work, open the app to view all the files you have hidden.
you can stop it simple by putting a file name .nomedia in the directory.
But then it will not popup in any media application anymore.
hope thats what you were looking for.

Hi everybody
first of all i want to say TNX to all the wonderful people here, who make my HD2 experience so much better
i have a good question which i bet other HD2 owners are struggling with:
i keep my mp3 files stored on my SD card.
Q: i can't seem to find a way to set a certain picture to a certain song in the music player (instead of the default picture of the note icon).
what i'v tried up until now:
- i went to My Device\MUSIC and saw the way the original (crappy) song is set with its own picture, and tried to set my mp3 file the same way with it's own picture, but - no luck, still the annoying note icon..
so.. i give up for now, hopefully someone knows the answer to my question here
thanks allot guys
I think I've got the solution:
Settings -> Manage Applications -> Media Storage and choose clear data, this will wipe the media library database from the phone.
you then have to power down and reboot. Now when you open the music app it will rebuild its database.

SORTED! tnx to Wilco!
Wilco you are the man
i didn't find a way to delete the media library database from the phone, the solution presented in the thread is meant to work with another HTC device which has different settings, BUT - the issue was the same -
in order to show a photo instead of the default note icon in the music player htc devices require an image called "folder.jpg" located in every folder which contains mp3's, this is the picture which will be shown as the album picture. so in order to show a different picture for every album the albums must be in different folders.
there is a certain BUG which occures when there is no folder.jpg file in the folder containing the mp3 file and you try to add it later, the device has a DB that records every folder you create and it doesn't remember a folder.jpg file in that particular folder so it will not show a picture even if you add one, i still havn't figured out way to clean that DB, anyway, by simply putting a folder.jpg with your choice of image and changing the folder's name to another one, the device will recognize this as a brand new folder and tada! album picture is presented
hope we helped you guys!
thanks!!
Hi,
I liked how the gallery app syncs with picasa straight away, but it doesn't give me access to my 'favorites'. My wife uploads our baby pictures to her web albums and she is a 'favorite' so i can easily view pics via pc. it would be great to somehow access her web album by phone. seems like it shouldn't be difficult to do, but i haven't figured it out.
does anyone know whether it can be done? if so, how? if not, can someone recommend a good alternative?
thanks!
Not sure if this will help as I manage my photos on picasaweb a very specific way. Once I've uploaded pics to Dropbox, I go to picasaweb on my laptop, go to my Dropbox album....click on edit....then Organize And Reorder....
From here I select or CTRL select multiple images, and MOVE them to another folder or an existing folder...that folder then appears in the Gallery as a seperate picasa folder. This method can get a bit unwieldly if you have TONS of folders on picasaweb, because they ALL will display in Gallery. But if your careful to organize well this seems as good a way as any..Only takes a minute or so to do unless your moving tons of pictures around....Hope the idea helps..
thanks. that might be worth a try.
i was really hoping for something a bit more automated since my wife usually takes care of the photos. seems duplicative to have two sets of the same web album, but if that's the only way...
thanks again!
It's over: Media Scanner sucks.
As of KI4, still has bugs:
- stores album name, in Genre (m4a)
- cannot read properly album arts (m4a)
I'm seriuosly thinking about customizing Media Scanner.
Questions:
- Are Samsung Android's sources available?
- What would it take to customize the media scanner?

I would love that too.... for me I just want the Media Scanner to be able to point to certain folders only, not the whole SD card, in that way it will be even faster...
I do not know where to start... but if anyone can point out the apks for media scanner or how to find which apks are used, maybe I can decompile and see if there are few values to be alter and it works !

just add a .nomedia file to any directory you don't want scanned.

I don't want to cancel ALL media scanning for a folder. For instance, music folders that have album art should index the MP3 files but not the image files. If .NOMEDIA allowed me to specify the type of media to skip this would be ok, but excluding the images also excludes the music.
Personally, I would much rather just specify certain folders for each type of media. While I've seen this opinion expressed countless times, I have yet to see any workable options so I'm eager to hear any recommendations.
Where is the artist info(bio etc) in the google play music I can't find it. I tried selecting to go to artist but it just shows top songs, albums and related artist no bio. I remember it being there somewhere and the info being the same as spotify but now it's gone , I tried several big artists to make sure
Anyone?

Not a single user of Google music on this forum?
3 bumbs and 2 days later and not a single reply to such a simple question...
Why is no ons answering thuis simpele question?
I've noticed that they are missing as well.
Most likely its one of two things here;
1) Google may have decided to remove the artist info pages feature temporarily or permanently. If this is the case what we could do is get people asking for the feature again on feedback and reviews.
2) the artist info pages may be missing due to a problem in a recent update. If this is the case all we can do is report it to Google, and wait to see if it's back in the next couple updates they roll out
I hope this helps you with this
