How do i show album art of my songs in tf3d music player.. sorry if this has been aswered but the only that comes up is for wmp... thanks in advance for the help yall!!!!Also i notice scrolling through the music the music pictures dont flip up or downwhen scrolling
Yea I'm kind of interested in this question too. Can't seem to find an answer to this specific question. Do you have to use (sync with) WMP to use the album art feature in the music tab of TF3D? I created a music folder on my microSD card and just dumped all my music on it. But it doesn't show up in TF3D, and I have to access the file to even play it.
Thanks.
I sync music to my phone using WMP on the computer, and it embeds the art on each track, so it shows on TF3D. You may also try the how-to in this site: http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?t=23550
Wow, that article is a really complicated way to say, just drop an image in each album's folder on your device and name the image "folder.jpg".
I just looked at the sample music and saw that's how they did it.
i messed with my profor a long time until it paid off......
usinf total cammander go to the file wherethe music resides
make sure you gave the album art there
whatever the name is rename it to folder
then make a copy of it and name it hTC_AM_AlbumArt
soft reset and it should work
it did for me

i had trouble doing this at irst but i finally figured it out.very simple.
1st, get mp3tag and install
2nd: run mp3 tag and search for music files on your computer(your songs)p/s save all songs on computer and not on phone
3rd: download jpg files of artist for your songs,try to download the album jpg files(you can name it whatever you like)
4th: using mp3tag,edit each song album art by importing the ones you have downloaded for your songs i.e j-lo :love don't cost a thing(download either an ordinary pic of j-lo or the album cover for that song,call it whatever you like)
after editing the the songs album covers,exit mp3 tag
5th; open wmp and play your songs,save them as a playlist or several play lists.
sync PLAY LIST to you htc touch pro,and reset
off you go
I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and/or knows how to fix it.
I can see in Media Go that an album/song has album art attached to it (I can even see that there is album art in Windows explorer and iTunes). I've tried deleting/adding the art via 3rd party mp3 tagging software but that doesn't seam to make a difference.
I've tried copying the music using Media Go and dragging and dropping onto the memory card but the art still doesn't show on the phone. The funny thing is that it's not all albums, just a 'select' few.
I've also tried downloading the art via the phone itself however it either can't find the art or it's wrong.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I believe it has something to do with the aspect ratio of the album art. if it isn't a perfect square (500x500 or 450x450 for example) mediascape will not recognize the album art.
Thanks for the response, I've checked and that doesn't seam to be the case (some art which shows is not square and some art which doesn't show is square).
Also when Mediascape searches for album art it sometimes finds (wrong) old shaped album covers.
Any other ideas?
I had a problem like this before. Try this.
Go to your SD card and there's a folder called "albumthumbs" which stores a cached version of all the album covers. Delete all the files in this folder. Mediascape will then re-cache with all your updated album covers.
It fixed most of my albums but there are still a few that aren't right.
Hope that helps.
Nope, that didn't work either, in fact not the are more albums without art!
I had the same issue. I've not figured the reason, but I've worked around it removing the album art and adding it again with Mp3tag.
Did you try the "retrieve the album art" feature of mediascape ? (reading your post it's unclear whether or not you know about the feature)
It's really simple, just get a wi-fi connection, and it'll automatically read the album tags to get the proper album art.
I know it worked perfectly for me, also the phone didn't show any of the album art (even though some of my tracks had one) before doing that.
I tried re tagging my tracks with (Easy CD-DA Extractor) still no luck. Every single other player on my PC, stereo, Car etc. can read the the album art but not mediascape
This is my trick:
1. Clear all unnecessary tag from the file (eg: using eyeD3).
2. Inject album art to the file (eg: using albumart-qt).
3. Copy the file back to device.
4. Remove all Mediascape cache data (from Manage Apps menu).
5. Restart the device.
All the tools I use is running on Linux, but I'm sure there's counterpart tool on other platform.

I sprung for the album art grabber app from the market. It allows you search the net or add art from the SD card.

Tried this and no luck, either it couldn't find the album art or it was totally wrong (it looks like it searches by artist rather than by album).

I will look into this, I'm running Win 7 but I'm sure I can try the same process.

I'll give this a go also.
I've email Sony Ericsson support, I doubt I'll get a usefull answer but if I do I'll share it with the forum.
Thanks all!
UPDATE: Baggyb your trick with album art grabber app worked a charm.
Many thanks!
Sorry for the bump, but I might have found something that could help aswell.
I had the same problem. Mediascape wasn't able to put the correct album art on the songs I had on my X10.
Every other mediaplayer showed the correct album art, except for Mediascape.
Apparently all I had to do was add the song name at the album name and all of a sudden the correct album art was shown.
With Media Go that's quite easy.
Just put your songs in the map "music" of your X10 and go to Media Go.
Select the tab "Music" (@Phone Card) and you'll see your music currently on your X10.
Select a song and go to properties.
Click on the tab "artwork".
Add the albumart of your choice.
Then go to the tab "music" of properties.
Copy the title of the song and paste it @ "Album"
And you're done.
Seems a hassle to do this at every song, but it works so for me it was worth it.
Sony really makes it a hassle to put album art into the songs, they should come up with a solution and tell us the consumer in their user manual. The user manual really sucks as there is not much detail info into the product itself...
Just toss the correct album art into the album folder and name it albumart.jpg . It's very simple and works 100% for me.

DO you have only new music btw?
I noticed that the Retrieve Album Art feature in Mediascape takes a few days to get the latest album covers... for example The Final Frontier album cover was only added a couple of days ago...
Ok. I also fond of tagging all my mp3 with album arts. Have wasted like all days long just to make it looks very nice in MediaScape And now currently, all my songs shows album arts in MediaScape.
Always use MediaGo for managing your mp3, also i don't even bother where they put the mp3 in sdcard. I already passed the "organize things in folder manually" life after i struggle to organize my 4TB stuff in separate hard drives
Second is to assign the album art to Album Properties instead of individual songs.
For songs that you already transfer to X10 without Album Art, by adding album art to Media Go and do the transfer again won't update the album art in timescape. You go and delete the content of albumthumbs in sdcard, then it will usually work.
No rules about dimension ratio and resolution for album arts.
Possible Solution
I have a SE Xperia Mini Pro.
I discovered the same problem. Album art would not display for Albums previously copied. (This was after spending 3 days sorting out Media Go with Art!!!)
I found a fix using an App called "Album Art Grabber".
Once I run it on the phone, it automatically finds the album art linked in the MP3 file. Once I run media scape the art has reappeared. Appears to work.
Benj.
does anyone know the best way to put pictures in mp3 files, so the picture comes up as album art when you playing the music. for the stock player. I know theres alot of other music players that will display album art, but I was looking on how to do it for the stock player for whatever rom i'm using at the time.
Try Mp3tag for windows (Google it). It lets you edit any id3 tag in a mp3 file, even editing several files at once.
I'm using the pre-installed Music player app to play my WMA files.
I've used WMP on my PC to sync all the music to an MicroSDHC card. That completed ok, and I can see all my music through the player. There are a few hundred albums, but only 2 of them show album art.
Is there something else I need to do to make sure all the album art is visible when scrolling through the list of albums?
Re:
I am having the same problem with the stock music player, but with MP3 files. Only around 10 out of 300 files have the album art showing. Did you find out what the problem was?
I have embedded the album art within each file. The same files had the album art displaying perfectly on my previous phone, the N97 Mini. So I know the problem is not with the mp3 files.

Thats becos their extension of those file is m4a. The phone find it hard to read those taggs so it comes up as unknonw artiste. Try to download MEDIA FIX from the android market.it should fix almost the whole issue. that is if the issue is with the file extension. cheers
I found out that WMP does not put the artist details into the metadata tags of the music when you perform a sync from its library to a a target such as a USB drive or SD card.
As a workaround, I just used Windows Explorer to drag the music folder to the SD card. All the album art then showed up in the music player. I've seen a few solutions for syncing music onto the SD Card but haven't tried any yet. WINAMP is meant to do it but the reviews say it's a bit troublesome. I don't get much music, so now it's copied over the card it's easy to add more albums. I guess if you are always adding more music to your library that could become tedious.
I had the same problem with the stock music player. I use PowerAmp music player instead now, It shows all the album art, plus if some are missing it will find them for you. It is the best music player on android market, better than stock music player.
playerpro is also a good alternative
yes
Same here bro
Re:
Thanks guys but my problem was solely with the album art not showing, the other tags were being displayed correctly. Anyway, I fixed it by putting the album art jpg (renamed to folder.jpg) inside each albums folder. This did the trick, and now the album art is displaying properly in stock player, Winamp and Poweramp.
Seems the S2 in some cases, cannot read the album art embedded in the individual mp3 file itself, but can pick up the folder.jpg file in each albums folder.
Hello there my fellow XDA-ers,
So I bought a Flyer not too long ago, mainly for notes/browsing/video/music.
And all is working well, with the normal browser, opera browser and BSPlayer.
For music I use both the standard HTC Music Player (I'm on stock Gingerbread btw, but it's S-Off and rooted) and Spotify. Spotify is working well, but for local music I prefer to use the HTC Music Player, since I really like the look and layout in landscape. Spotify is just an oversized phone version (and only portrait, but I've heard of a fix for this) =\
But in the HTC Music Player, if I have... say.. compilation albums, it just shows 1 random album cover for every song in the compilation, even though all the songs (in the album/compilation) have a different album cover. I know that each song has a different cover art, since each song has its own correct art in iTunes, Spotify PC, Spotify Mobile and on my iPod Touch.
This is more of a general question about Android I think, since I have this problem on both my Sensation and Flyer.
I don't know much about how all this works, but all my files are 320kbps MP3's and have album art.
I google'd around a bit, but couldn't find anything that worked. So what could I do to make every song have its own cover art?
Also, YAY ICS is coming to the Flyer
If you have folder structure for your music and all songs from a compilation are in one folder and you have an album art file in that folder, then that's probably what player will show. I haven't used HTC's music player, but I know that this is what some players do.
Also you need to check info tags of the songs in compilation. If Album tag shows something like "Top Hits #1", then that's the album art that you're going to get. If tags are good and have correct Artist, Song, Album info, then album art is an easy fix. If tags are messed up, then you might have a problem.
I used to have a big collection of songs and many were made a decade ago, some from compilation CDs. Most of those files had tags messed in one way or another. When I decided to organize my music library I remember I used a tagging program first (maybe it was "tag&rename). In some files I had to fill in Artist and Song info from the filename. Files copied from iPods I had to rename, using Artist and Song info from the tag. I also erased "album" tags from messed up files (compilations), year and some other stuff. I replaced "album artist" field with "artist", so it doesn't show there something like "various artists". Then I used Winamp to pull up the tags automatically from the internet. It did pretty good job and fixed more than 90% of files. All above is done automatically and you don't have to do much there, other than telling program what to do next. After tagging is done, the best thing to do next(but not necessary) is to use another program (don't remember what I used) to pull the album art from the internet and store it in the music file itself. Last step is recommended, but not necessary, because most better android players (Like Player PRO) can get the art from the internet themselves.
Nowadays, music files usually tagged properly and if you ripped files from CD, many programs will tag songs properly when creating a file. You still might have messed up tags if it was a compilation CD.
You said that all your files have proper art (I assume in iTunes), so I assume that they are tagged properly and the only issue is the location of the song and art files.
I don't remember how iTunes organizes files. But I think it puts song files into album folder (which is in Artist folder) and puts album art file into album folder. When you copy songs into another compilation folder you loose the art. If files are tagged properly, then you can delete the album art file in the compilation folder and let good player (I recommend Player PRO) get all the art from the internet. HTC's Music player probably is not that smart. If you don't have art embedded into the file, then you need to make sure that folder structure is preserved. Songs and album art file from different albums need to be in different folders.
If you're on Linux, use "easytag". As previous post said, embedd the tags (even album art picture) inside the files, then it will use the album art from the file (not from the folder where the file is in). This way you can just copy files across platforms and not loose the album art.
Thanks for the responses guys, but concerning the tags and embedded art, everything is correct I think. I made the folders myself (artist > album > music files) and in the MP3 tags, the artist and album (compilation) are the same, so they appear to be from the same 'artist' and compilation/album. The album/cover art is also included/embedded in the MP3's themselves. Because I made the folders myself, there are no other .jpgs to overwrite the art from the MP3.
Sorry that I forgot to mention that.
But as far as I know, everything is clean and organized. It really seems like the music player is just randomly selecting one of the artworks, since if I remove the entire folder from my Flyer, then re-add the exact same folder from my PC, it will have another randomly selected artwork for every file.
One of the possible solutions I read about was to put every file in a separate folder inside the album folder. So it would be Artist>Album>SongFolder>Song. The files all still had the same artist and album in their tags, so in the player they were still organized in the same artist and album. But still it would select a random artwork embedded in one of the songs and use it for every song.
Sure it's not really that big of a deal for most people, but I do find it very annoying, since I really like all the different artworks (and the HTC Music Player) =\
If anyone knows a tablet optimized (or Flyer optimized, since well.. mine isn't Honeycomb xd) Music Player that doesn't have this problem, suggestions would be appreciated as well.

I know this is from January, but the album art is rlly bothering me so...
I just got my HTC phone and I have the same problem, every album without cover art has the same random one. I'm kinda a noob when it comes to phones so I'm not sure how to fix the issue but will downloading a different music player fix the problem? Or did you end up finding a way to fix it?

Probably not. Its sounds like the ID tags on your music files are screwed up. How do you organize and play music on your computer?
You might try one of these apps to fix the tags: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=fix+mp3+tag&c=apps
