[Q] Google Music and album art crop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Google Music app on Android 4.4.2 and used the Album Art Grabber app to get all album arts and it works fine. Problem is, most album are zoomed and cropped and only show the middle part of the picture, which is not that great. I would much prefer to have the full picture with black bars on top/bottom. The app does not seems to have this feature already.
I have a Nexus 5, rooted with Xposed Framework. Anyone know if there's something for this? I'm also a programmer (nothing android related), if I knew where to look maybe I could try it myself.

Clearer Album Art:Album Art Grabber

It's in the market. I found it and it works extremely well, you just have to make sure you find the highest res album art covers. This is more of a Samsung Music Player issue and it not displaying album art at the correct resolution, but if you find the right album art (biggest/sharpest/most accurate in color in the preview) for the song, it'll look much better. It's really bothersome for me to look at severely pixelated album art.
It helps, but still seems like the images are being downscaled/resized etc. They should look extremely sharp like it does with the largest Mixzing widget but they just don't.
Download the Mixzing and you'll see what I mean, I don't like this app much because of the current limitations but album art just pops off the screen with it.

Best picture/slideshow app?

Looking for a slideshow app to use on my CM7/22. The stock gallery slideshow gets to the end and stops, looking for it to loop. Searching the market now, but would appreciate suggestions.
My absolute favorite app to view images and slideshows would be QuickPic, it's updated regularly and has many features. For example he recently added Nook support for better thumbnails, before that the thumbs would look kinda pixelated.
For a no-frills simple slideshow app that uses local images and just works, I really like this one: Slideshow Bob
It lets you select individual directories on the fly, as well as the ability to process subdirectories, and it does support looping of images as well.

QuickPic is great! It's fast and works for setting wallpaper too! No more wallpaper set & save for me!
As a photographer and an Android geek with a Nook, I used QuickPic and the Gallery.
The Gallery that is with Android and CM7 was made by Cool Iris, they have a fantastic algorithm for resizing images that are not to the Nooks scale. I use cool iris code on my web site too. The Gallery is also the fastest of all the ones I have tried, others just take way too long to paginate and resize pixel definition. But the Gallery does not have a looping slide show. Personally when I am showing pictures I like to flip and wait for the viewer to see and take it in, so I do not use the slide sow on its own. If I did need a looping slideshow I would use QuickPic, once even lager pictures are in memory, it’s all good.
Hop this helps!
JustPictures. has the slideshow, loops when it gets to the end, supports external image sources like Flickr and Picasa and others, and is written by a very involved developer who takes customer suggestions.

Glitchy Looking Album Art (Bandcamp tracks)

I've noticed a strange glitch in the Android music library. Any albums that I download from Bandcamp come up with a very glitchy-looking black and white album cover in the album list view, or just no cover at all. Once a song from the album is playing, the player screen shows the album art just fine. I primarily use PowerAMP for music, but since it utilizes the android library, this is more of a problem with Android than the app, I think, as the problem exists in the default player as well. Does anyone have any clue as to why this is, or how to fix it? Thank you. I'll have some screenshots below.

Song embeded album art ?

Why is Google music not able to display embedded Album art?
Power Amp is the only player I found that shows correct album art.
It's annoying with kit Kat's full screen album art it looks creepy playing high way to hell with Taylor swift in back ground
Any fix ??

[Q] Album Art shows up blurry sharpned?

I got a album art, and used an app to change it for all the songs. It did do it except that out of all the songs only one songs shows the Album Art perfectly while the rest of them look like they've been sharpened and blurred I spent an whole hour changing images, messing with album art folder, but only one image shows up fine. Why is it so complicating for a basic thing?
