it doesn't work?

put the mp3 and the picture (in jpg) in the same folder. then rename the picture to "folder" (without " ")

yep, it does not work!

I would recommend you to tag the songs first. PhilXdaOrbit2 does work for me. But then, if you tag the mp3s, you don't have to rename the jpg to folder. After tagging, just synchronise with WMP. It works for me. Try it.

Music in TouchFlo 3D

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:

Now I'm thinking some people may have a different version of TouchFLO 3D. Again see this thread.

Simplest way to get Album Art on TFlo3D if it's not automatic for you

1) Download/rip whatever your music into WMP
Before you sync anything go into the WMP library on the pc/laptop
2*)right click on the song you want to sync
go to advance tag editor
click on the pictures tab
if it has a picture, make sure that picture type is "front cover"
if there is no picture there, click add
if files come up in that window then view them as thumbnails (to make sure the picture is correct)
If there is one called folder.jpg, click add and make sure you select picture type as "front cover" If there isn't one called folder, then click another one, preferably with large in the title.
if no files come up in that window then you have to go get yourself an album cover picture.
go to a site like this one: http://albumart.org/
and find a cover, right click on it and choose "copy"
go back to your library, right click on the 'empty' CD icon where it says paste here, and choose "paste"
then go back to 2*)
then put this song in your sync list and the album art will sync along with the song.
it's a long process for a whole album, but it works and hopefully someone will come up with a way to tag all the tracks in an album at once!
Catching up on this thread,
I have tried this and found that when I have put the 'album.jpg 'file and set it as a cover(Front) for each mp3 when I go back the .jpg file as gone, regardless of which .jpg file I use!
I have tried to select all files and then use the advance tag editor but the same problem comes up?
Am I doing something wrong?
I don't know why it's not working for you, it worked fine for me. It's a right pain! Why doesn't it just work?!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I can't help you with this, maybe someone with more knowledge than me can step in?
I'm using MediaMonkey, it's the best tool for arranging, renaming, id3tagging and album adding tool there is.

Here's a video on how to.

May I ask what version of WMP you are using, I am on version 11 and the jpg just disappears when I go back to look at the picture tab?
Very Bezar!
I have tried MM before but not looked at the tag element fully, which I will now do!
theres a much easier way, a way that doesnt require you to embed all files with art.....
folder.jpg
then copy and paste the artist/album folde
copy and paste where, because I have tried 'moving' the folder.jpg file on to the device, also renaming it to ~hTC_folder.jpg (or album name) (which the Diamond seems to do) and the other jpg files including the large and small?
mediamonkey is awesome.
it can automatically find the albums on amazon.
amazing. already did 10 albums

Copy and paste into a folder on your internal storage.
Create a folder called MUSIC on the route of your internal storage. Then in that folder create folders for each artist, eg BOBBY BROWN, then within that another folder or folders for album/s eg DONT BE CRUEL. Put the album MP3s in DONT BE CRUEL and dump a folder.jpg of the album art in there.
Done.
Thats how I organised all of my music for years, folder.jpg - so all I do is copy and paste the album, I dont use this Window media player sync nonsense.
Ok, that's interesting will give it a go as well as looking at MM. Cheers People.

MP3 as ring

I try to copy a mp3 file or a shortcut to the folder \Windows\Rings, but i cannot choose a mp3 in my telephone.

internal storage\my documents is the right way to do it because after a hard reset you'll still have them there and you don't use precious device memory.
Tank you!
After hard reboot i found the rings from \windows\rings too (not the shortcut).
But the internal storage\my documents is the right way!!!
If you want to put them on your device memory, the correct location is \My Documents\My Ringtones.

This might work for rings, but you will find it untrue for SMS notification.
In which case, "My Documents" root will work.
SMS notifications are put in windows folder inside internal storage

How do i load albums with cover to the TF3D player?

Hi ,
i Deleted the sample albums that came with the Diamond and i dont know how , and to where i should place my albums (and how i load to them cover)
thanks for your's help.
Hey
Well, I've discovered a very easy method. I use Media Monkey 3.0 to download the coverart of an album. You simply load in the mp3's, select one and rightclick on it and select search tag on web and voila, the programm automatically attaches the albumart to the mp3 so it will show up in the TF3D music player. Very very easy.
Regards
TheWizzard
I too have the same problem. I tried to use Media Monkey but for some reason the album art doesn't attach itself to the tracks.
I successfully transferred the tracks to my phone but when i go into the tf3d music screen the album aart isn't there. Tried various methods but to no avail.
What am i doing wrong???????????
The easiest way is to just put a folder.jpg image in the folder with the album.
I tried that too. I renamed the album art which i placed in the same folder as the album tracks but even that didn't show the cover on tf3d. I can view the album art when i go into the track listing, but it doesn't show up when i'm playing the tracks.
Thanks for your reply btw
i'd recommend attaching a folder.jpg instead of putting the artwork within the tags, as apparently the new versions of TF3D do not like embedded artwork and will cause the music player to crash
So do i just place the artwork in the same folder as the tracks and then rename it to folder.jpg? I have tried this way but i just can't seem to get it to show on the tf3d screen....
no, that method does not work.
use windows media player, it's easy.
When you embed a jpg or png file as artwork in the MP3-tag the HTC player will extract it and create a hidden file in the same folder. The name is ~hTC_Album Name.jpg
The easiest way to have your cover shown in the TF3D player is to create such a file yourself (it doesn't have to be hidden). I have my favorite 120 tracks in the same folder and every single one is shown with the right cover.
But: the album name in the tag has to match the file name exactly and it has to be a valid file name according to the windows rules, i.e. the following characters are forbidden: \/:*?"<>|
Hi Obsidian,
I have tried that, but it doesn't seem to work for me
Can I just check how you do it?
Lets say you have two mp3s, one with an album tag of XXX and one with album tag of YYY.
You then have 2 jpgs with the album art in your Music folder, one called ~hTC_XXX.jpg, and one called ~hTC_YYY.jpg?
That is how I am doing it, yet they are not appearing in the Library or TF3D. If I have the mp3s in seperate folders, then I can make an folder.jpg for each one, which it then translates into hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg, that works fine, but I would love to be able to use your method.

That's right. I checked again and discovered that the jpg file generated by TF3D has a size of 256x256 the same as hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg also generated by TF3D. The ~hTC... files are hidden but that shouldn't be a problem. You could try taking one mp3 of album XXX and one of album YYY in the same folder and copying the corresponding hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg renaming it to ~hTC_XXX.jpg.
Besides that I have no idea.
Edit: Try this attached set of mp3 with artwork. The "song" is by me so no copyright issues here.
Heres what I did.. downloaded the picture of the album (google)...
make sure the file extension is jpg and not png .. rename the file to Folder.jpg and place it in the album folder.. connect your phone using it as a disc drive delete all existing pictures in the music folder .. copy paste.. then disconnect ur phone wait 10 seconds and voila!
ps Ive tried all other methods mediamonkey etc
This one worked best for me

Thanks shaka-ban. Just followed the instructions from your post. All my albums now have the album art displayed. Was doing my head in.
Just one thing, which i hope you may be able to answer, how do i get all the albums covers to display on the screen so i get 3d flipping?
Hope you can help, or if anyone else knows that would be so so good.
Thanks in advance
just import album files with mp3tag program into mp3 files and they will appear in your touchflo3d after you you copy them to your device.
Thanks for your reply. I've got the album art on the screen when i select an album to play, and the album art stays there for all the tracks, but i've only got the album art for the album thats currently playing. I wanted to be able to see all the covers in my collection and be able to choose an album to play from there, by flipping through them.

Thanks, Obsidian. Actually, I was doing it right all along, but what I was missing was that I didnt soft reset in between adding the new jpg files. Once I did that (or otherwise restarted Touchflow 3d), then as I hit the Music tab, I could see a little "working" cursor rotating in the top left as it updated the database internally. After that, it displayed the new albums fine.
So now I have the choice of directories with a "folder.jpg", or an range of album specific jpgs in a single directory.
Thanks for the help, my music tab looks superb now.

You can hit the Library button, then scroll to the album tab and flip through them that way, but it is a little slow to update, and doesnt use the same 3d flow look as the main music display, more of a 2d list.
Good music management.....
Starts with good managing of your albums and music on your PC...
I use iTunes (Mediamonkey just as good);
Each .mp3 has an Info tag that you can assign a picture to, typically I keep 1 Album to a folder, then change all the music files within to the same folder to the same Album name and then assign my own Album cover (search on web...Amazon is good for a 200x200 size jpg).....in Itunes right click for info, and change as you like....drag and drop you Album cover and you music will be set forever.
Album covers, genres, titles, artists, whatever can be assigned and the data will carry to all the Music players (itunes, media monkey, coreplayer, etc)
Bit of effort at first, but once done your music is set the way you want it forever!!
can someone tell me how to delete the temporary files of the htc player?
i deletet the default mp3s and now im stuck. the player wont show my musik and wont delete the sample musik out of the playlist.

Album issue.

For some odd reason my Album now shows pictures from /sdcard/Res/icons, which is a map belonging to Sygic Mobile Maps. How can I remove that from albums?
And besides that, Music Player also shows sounds from /sdcard/Res/sounds.
you can make a file and call it .nomedia this will show android that its not a media folder and wont show it in albums or music player.
You mean create it as a textfile, and put the name of the folder in it? Or just an empty file called .Res? Please explain.
Thx in advance.
Nevermind, I found out. I just put the .nomedia file inside the /Res folder. Works a charm.
Nice to hear that you found it sorry that i didnt explained it well was in a hurry.
awesome, good to know. thanks for the tip.
