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
Hello,
can anyone give me some hints (setting or extra app) how to deal with the mess in the gallery and album name(s)?
I have for e.g. a local HDD dir with name "holiday_2003" and plenty of subdirs.
In the gallery I get a separate album for each directory (instead I want a single album with name "holiday_2003")?
Also my music picture(s) are shown which I would not like (I mean cover art etc.). This may come from separate cover art files from within the music folder(s) and there may be no workaround.
With the Samsung gallery App itself there are not really many options to set this up.
Otherwise I would have to go into the SD card folders and clean everything up which waste(s) my time ;-(
Any advice or better gallery App I could use?
i did -
plug in phone goto sd card create forders pictures music notifications videoes etc
place your photo albums in pictures then they show indavidual folders in gallary same for albums just put ur music folders in music folder etc etc
Hi,
I'm using Banshee from ubuntu to put music on my phone. I have the .is_audio_player file in the root directory of the sdcard, and it tells banshee that it expects the files in the form of AlbumArt.jpg
Once the music is copied however, only some of it has a corresponding album art, that is displayed in the music app. However, all albums have AlbumArt.jpg in them. I've tried to open a few covers that are not shown in the music app, just to see that they are not corrupt, but they open just fine.
Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? It seems to me that the app is just picking album art at random for displaying.
Music player doesn't display the correct artwork. I checked my Music folder with the file manager . There are some icons that say "AlbumArt_{SOME.NUMBERS.GO.HERE
Problem is, for most of my songs in the "Misc~" folder, have the same artwork in the player. (some eminem artwork) AND I ONLY HAVE 1 SONG OF HIS. ;_;
What's the problem? maybe I should delete those files? Did they get transferred through my PC? ^^;
BUMP! C'mon people!
In Android, you can't have a Misc folder with mixed artists and songs. Android thinks every folder is an album, so like in your case, you'll get one album art per folder.
Just do what I did, make a separate folder for every artist, even if you have only one song of them.
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
