Worked fine for me as well, but no album art showing.
I have a cover named folder.jpg in that same directory.
Anybody have a solution?
You have to choose in the menu either all songs, artists or albums to show in touch flo.

Is there anyone willing to do a quick guide for a noob? I think quite a few people would benifit from it.

Just copy your music to internal storage\music. To see album art just add it to your mp3s tags.
Cool, that worked cheers!!

Hi,
I've removed all the sample music from \INTERNAL STORAGE\, and sync some MP3 with Media Player. However, I found the MUSIC still not being updated - Showing "NO MUSIC FOUND" and in the library they are removed music list...
Any methods I can update the music library ?
Thanks
have u tried updating from windows media player first?
My sample music was located on the [System] partition not Internal Storage. I deleted everything in the MUSIC folder. I then created a folder under \Internal Storage\My Documents which I called My Music and put my music in it. Now it's fine. I have my album art there and it's perfect.
For album art to show, make sure you have a file called folder.jpg in each album's folder.

I followed your way and that's always "Searching...".
Just to check - you did unplug the device from the PC right? Because it disables the internal storage access from the device while it's connected.
Try to click "Library", Scroll to "All Songs" and play any of the songs from the list...
This should help.

I found it's because of double-byte characters in the MP3 tag values...as I've put a MP3 with pure English tags, it works.
Thanks!
I also have chinese tags but no transfer problem...and they are displayed correctly with ce-star
hi hi.. as in u rename the album art to folder.jpg? or is it an additional .jpg file or folder apart from the album art?
for eg. if it's andylau.jpg should i rename it to folder.jpg?
or should it be andylau.jpg, plus another folder.jpg?
will it be correct if my 'andylau' folder contains all the mp3, and i put the album art into the same 'andylau' folder filled with andy lau's mp3s?

I didn't install CE-Star but just Fontpatch that I used for my WM5. It's working fine and stable. How's CE-Star in Diamond?

Mine definitely doesn't work with Folder.jpg in the album folder. See:

Here's the solution I figured out:

Now I'm thinking some people may have a different version of TouchFLO 3D. Again see this thread.
Does anyone know how TF3D loads cover art? Only a couple of my songs ever seem to have any art visible...
Ok; I've figured out how TF3D displays cover art - it completely ignore the hidden "AlbumArt**" files created by a WMP synch and uses the album art "embedded" in the file itself. Copying album art into your clipboard and "pasting" it in WMP (Right click on a song and left click on "Paste Album Art") tags the file with the album art in such a way that TF3D shows it. The next question then is how to do that en masse... Any suggestions?

It also picks up the folder.jpg file so if you keep that in each album's folder, you'll have all your album art.
Not work for me...
I'm putting my music into folders divided to Artist and in each artist folder there are folders with albums and music.
For example:
\Internal Storage\Music\Dream Theater\Falling Into Infinity\files.mp3
and for cover art:
\Internal Storage\Music\Dream Theater\Falling Into Infinity\Falling Into Infinity.jpg
But no covers.
What I'm doing wrong?
I don't want to put all my music into one folder! And all mp3 tags in files are OK.
OK, after a lot of experimentation, these are the steps that work perfectly for me.
Open WMP
Select all songs in the album, then right click -> Find Album Info
Select the appropriate information; this will define the album art
Select Sync and drag the album there
Synchronize
Reset Diamond
Voila - your album should be on the phone, with the album art as well.
Good luck!

Thanks, but I don't want use WMP for managing my music files. I'm looking for simple solution, without playlist, just to put files to any place i want, put jpg file with album cover and that is it. Just copy/paste. Without syncing with WMP and all other crap players.

You haven't bothered reading the Sticky thread on reading my articles before asking questions, have you? I've answered your q at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415063 , which is also a sticky thread...
All in all, create a Folder.jpg and that's all.

You don't need to sycn with the desktop WMP to have album art either - simple file copy will make sure it's transferred to the handset. Again, I recommend my dedicated bible.

Quite a comprehensive article that is... Thank you.
The most important step after copying the files is RESET! For some deep reason, it won't update all the images if you don't do that.

Thank you, but i Know everything about ripping music and appopriate tagging. No problem with that.
The most confusing thing for me here was renaming that art image to "folder.jpg". This is confusinf, a named that file like name of the album folder and I see now that names must be exactly "folder.jpg". After renaming and soft-reset, everything is works fine.
Thanks again.

Yup, it's a naming convention with WMP. For example, LCG Jukebox uses another naming convention incompatible with that of WMP.
Hm, I myself had some issues with album art. Not that it aint possible to listen to music without those, but thats not the reason we all bought us a diamond an ruined guarantee within the first 5 minutes.
To the Point: I found many ways in this forum to get my arts to display, but what i did not find is the following:
If you use the covers within the mp3tag (I tagged all of my mp3s with mp3tag) my diamond will show them immediately. BUT ONLY if the tags are ID3v2.3 ISO 8859-1 or ID3v2.3 UTF 16. It will not show on ID3v2.4 UTF 8 or any other non-conform ID Tag.
So if you have tagged your mp3s correctly, theres no need to sync playlists or whatever. Just copy the mp3s to your internal memory, go to the player tab in TF3D and voila, there they are, via a ~htc.cover.jpg or something like that. A soft-reset is unneccessary as well.
Im using Bepes German Rom 0.97_fixed btw.
I´ve got one question. I have put several Albums into Internal Storage, but I can only flip thru the songs of the currently selected Album under "Library". I just cannot figure out how I can flip along the several albums on the TF3D Music tab.
Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanx in advance
The base music tab only shows you the songs in your "Now Playing"... You have to click on Library to access the albums tab...
Damn, what a shame. Would have looked nice flipping thru the different albums with different cover-jpg´s in it, just like in the photo-tab

you can do this, but you need to select the All Songs tab in the library, then it will sho all of the albums/artwork. I'm still having a wierd issue where it won't show some album art, while it will show others. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for what it shows.
I have found that if your embed the album art in the audio file directly (instead of relying on folder-based image tags), it will consistently display the album art...
I just downloaded Tag-And-Rename yesterday... it can automatically update all your audio files with the corresponding folder.jpg files...

ok, got it. Allthough that´s not what I was hoping to get, because it´s playing all songs of all albums mixedup ( alphabetical track name order)

That's not good. Are you sure their track numbers are tagged. If so, that's a really annoying problem that HTC should have spotted.

Hmmm. Hopefully someone here will come up with a fix eventually, because virtually nobody wants to listen to their albums in alphabetical order...
whether its hero or any other rom, i never see album art when playing music.
I have the album file on my desktop, the cover art pic is in it, i copy it to the music folder in my sd card.
What else am i supposed to do to be able to see the cover art when playing music? It sure would make the app a lot cooler...thanks

Check out MP3 Tag or Media Monkey. They both do a good job of looking up and updating MP3 tags. I use the latter personally.

interesting, downloading now. this will probably sound stupid but will the media monkey help me put together a file that has the music and an automatically recognizable image (ie cover art)? thanks
Anyone know any apps for Ubuntu that would work? I have EayTag, but after injecting the album art to ID3 it still doesn't show on the phone :-(

i just started using media monkey (on vista 64) and it works great. cant you download that software through ubuntu? Once i figured out how it worked media monkey is a breeze.
i was deleting the songs from my diamond but after deleting it, the now playing screen still shows the songs but just has exclaimation marks on the album art square. this is for teh music player on the touchflo 3d. is there any way to clearing the "now playing" list?
Try delete the AlbumManager or what it's called in Application Data\HTC\Something like this.
there was a file in there called audiomanager that i tried to delete but it wouldn't let me.
go to the library using the tocuhflo music tab. go to the all songs tab. play any one song and it should update the now playing list.

Sry, wrong information, rename it to whatever you like and the phone will automatically create a new one.
