How to deal with photo album(s) and directories

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

[Q] Music Player

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.

Total Recall recording clips are shown in Music Player, how to hide them?

Hi..
I am using Total Recall recording app's latest version right now.. All recorded clips are shown in stock music player as well as in any other music app I install.. Although there is a file named .nomedia in the folder existed all clips are shown still in stock music player..
I ever set the folder to hidden, yet clips are shown.. Is there any way they won't show up in stock music player or anywhere and considered to be hidden..
Thanks.
Create a file named '.nomedia' in that folder. It shouldn't show up after that.
Sent from my GT-I9300
It's explained in my op that there is a already a file named .nomedia in that folder yet they are showing everywhere..

[Q] Disable certain type of media in a folder

Hi,
I have following problem. I have a pretty big music collection on my SD card and there are also album art images. All these images are displayed in Galery or QuickPic. I want to tell the media scanner not to scan for images in this folder. Is it possible?
I know you can put a file called .nomedia in any directory and it will be excluded from media scanning. But I want to exclude only images and scan for audio files. Is it possible?
Use a photo hiding app like Hide It Pro and hide the album art works and it wont show up in gallery !
Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortanately it doesn't suite my needs. It only allows me to select pictures from directories one by one. With thousands of directories it is something I don't want to do. I checked other similar tools but they worked the same way. They didn't let me to exclude from galery a whole directory with all subdirectories. Do you know any tool which ca do it?

Is there a way to prevent album images from showing in Gallery

I got my spare battery and 200gb SD card from LG. I decided to put all my music collection on the card that way I dont have to stream it, which sometimes I cant in bad service areas. I put a lot of the music on the card and see that the album art is now showing in the gallery. Is there a way to exclude these images from the gallery? It has added a bunch of folders that are not needed.
Any info is appreciated.

Using a file manager, create a file called .nomedia in the folder that contains the album art. You may need a 3rd party file app from the Play store, not sure if the stock one lets you create files.
Edit: I just noticed this presents the music player from recognizing the music as well. I feel like I've done this before tho.. Lol
Album art file should be named albumart.jpg and they won't show up
If you use a tag editor to load the images ( this may require you to transfer them to the internal memory then back to the SD) then you can delete the files all together.
