i know it's an old issue and i has been posted plenty of times but does anybody know if there has been a new development in the way to convert album art for music files so they will show up on the Dream. With all these new cool music widgets it just seems silly not to have album art for my music. I tried the windows media player way and all my music still does not have albums when put onto my G1.
If you have already read all the old discussions and you didn't follow the instructions in them, what would be the point of starting a new thread? You'll just get the same information, namely install and run MP3Tag or some other automated metadata editor with cover art functionality.
Album Art Grabber in the market will retrieve all the album artwork for your music.
i made this thread because i did not find anything new and useful in the old search thread and like i said i wanted to know if anything new has been found out on how to do it.
Thank you that App worked great.

My friend downloaded a program for his G1 called Tunewiki. I was wondering if there was a similar program for our windows mobile devices.
What is it? Is it like Music ID that comes installed from ATT?
No. Its a music player that automatically searches for and displays lyrics. It also gives options to see music videos for the song you are playing on youtube plus other neat features.
Update: Found a nice music player that downloads lyrics called MiniLyrics, but nothing as in depth an tunewiki. Maybe one day the devs behind tunewiki may port it to WM...only time will tell.

Im pretty sure there must be something like this among those 20-30 thousand apps for WM.
I remember using some player that displayed lyrics (if attached) while playing mp3, and it had option to find lyrics on some website. I can't tell you details because it was so many years ago when I was using VOQ smartphone, but what I mean is: keep searching

Good point, tunewiki is no longer available for new users. They complain that there are too many users for what they can support. I'm looking at the minilyrics now.
Well, I sent an email to the guys over at TuneWiki, and according to them, they have ports for WM and Blackberry in the works. Its pre-alpha though so it might be awhile. Oh well, at least they are planning to bring this wonderful app to WM!
For a windows computer? I need a program that will sync music with artwork to my G1 artwork got from iTunes.
Have you tried doubletwist ?
Yes but before I sync I need a program that add's automaticly some album artwork.
Android looks for the Artwork in the ID3-Tags, so you need to put your covers in the ID3Tag, i didn't find a good app for it yet, but you can try MP3Tag.
Using it right know but how do you batch download artwork?
No option for it
After spending hours one night using a Windows program to edit the tags, I resynced all my music only to find the art still did not sync. Then I saw some screen shots from mikey1022 in a development thread. A screenshot showed a program in his app drawer called album art grabbed. So I downloaded it and it worked. Even for all my Christian artists(not mainstrream so I'm assuming they would be harder to find.) The author said all music apps would use the art from that program.
WOW, nice app!
Thanks for the tip!

Windows Media Player? It tries to find art work on the internet AFAIK.
I hate to say it....but.... iTunes is pretty easy to use when you need to mess with your mp3 tags. My wife has iPod so we already have it installed so I just use that, Find my artwork in Google image search, copy highlight album in itunes lib and just add it to the song info. Pretty easy IMHO
***takes a cover, expecting all kinds of flaming***
Hello,
I'm not too sure if my problem is a unique one. I have searched the forums and most threads, if not all, that I managed to find dealt with trying to get album art to display on their HTC Diamonds. If you find that my problem has indeed been answered previously, I would very much appreciate a link to a thread where I may find my answer, thank you.
My problem here is slightly different: for a single mp3 file, the TF3D player displays a different cover from anywhere else (Windows Explorer, WMP, Winamp, mp3tag). Allow me to give some background info on this:
I have embedded my mp3s with their respective album arts. Every song displayed properly with its album art in the TF3D player previously, since the first day I bought my phone back in July 2009. However, recently (about a couple weeks ago) when I uploaded a Korean song, the entire library of album art has been wiped out in the TF3D player and all songs now display that album art of this Korean song.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot:
1) I copied out all my mp3's to my laptop. In Windows Explorer, the original cover art is displayed. I opened the files with mp3tag in hope of retagging them, but I found the original cover art there too. I played the files in Winamp, and the cover art is correct as well.
2) I opened the files using File Explorer on my Diamond. It launched in WMP and the cover art was displayed properly there as well.
3) I deleted all the files on my Diamond and recopied just one single file (say, a Beyonce song) into the Diamond. It still displays with the Korean cover art.
4) I tried the solution of deleting the HTC folder under Application Data, while maintaining the Beyonce song as the only song in my phone. Cover art goes blank for a while while it loads... then back to Korean cover art.
5) I have flashed my ROM, did a clean format with MTTY. Still Korean cover art. If it helps, I am running the Gen.Y D2 R5.4 ROM which has HTC Sense 2.1.
From 1) and 2), it seems that the original cover art has not really been replaced by the Korean one, since the real one can still be displayed via other means.
And since cover arts have been displaying properly for the past half a year that I've been using my phone, I would say it should be safe to eliminate the possibility that I am embedding my tags wrongly.
So would anyone have any idea why this is happening, please?
Thank you for your time in reading my lengthy post!
Check your global file associations on your device for all mp3 or audio files using something like Schaps Advanced Config that will show those. It sounds like this cover art has been set as the default somehow.
I'm sorry -- what am I supposed to check using that? For my Diamond, the mp3 files have WMP as their default player.
By the way, if it helps, I am using the Gen.Y D2 R5.4 ROM which has HTC Sense 2.1.

If you run Adv. Config. click on the right softkey and select file associations and make sure your mp3s are associated with wmp or the player of your choice. See if there might be anything there that might give any insight as to why you are having this issue.
It could be a bug with the rom you are using. You could flash your stock rom at least twice then flash back to the custom rom of your choice.
The .mp3 extension is associated with WMP. I'm not too sure if file associations would cause this issue because I am opening the mp3's with the TF3D player... by doing so, I am already opening it from a specific player... it would not matter which program opens it "by default", would it?
Is formatting with MTTY equivalent to flashing the stock ROM? Because I've been flashing my ROM quite a few times over the past week and I don't want to flash anymore. =) But this problem came in before I started using the current ROM (I loaded the Korean song, messed up the stuff, and then flashed my ROM)...
Anyway, my deepest appreciation for your help so far mr.horndoctor! Thank you!

Yeah, I think you're right about the file associations. Sorry. Hmm...I honestly don't know about the mtty format since I am cdma but you've definitely got something embedded in your manila files causing this. That's why I was thinking flashing the shipped rom should overwrite everything. Then if you have all traces of that cover art gone from your music before you reinstall it to your device, it shouldn't resurface. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes! Good Luck Friend!!

So, I am running ParanoidAndroid on my GN and its f'cking amazing, but...
Something that I miss very, very much is the stock music player!
I have a lot of music and my twisted mind likes to create and organize playlists in a certain way and this is where I'am getting frustrated...
Samsung stock music player has a magical option which I cannot find, or I'am just to stupid to find in every other music player I tried
After creating playlist by selecting that playlist it shows all my music and that magical options-- ADD MUSIC, and then option to select all or just a few via checkboxes!!
I dont care abaut equalizer and all that other stuff, I just want back that simplicity!!
Please help- call me stupid, show me light, recommend me app that can do that- just HELP!!
Here is what you are looking for...

LMAO, don't think your a NOOB if you can flash your phone with a custom ROM. Any ways have you tried creating your playlists on iTunes or WMP and just exporting the playlist to your phone

I flashed Paranoid Android to my Note coming from JB and everything's awesome. However, I too, really miss my stock Samsung music player. Did you in any way find a solution?
Btw, I backed up the apk of my music player using ES File Explorer before flashing. But when I try to install from it, I get an "Install failed" error. Any suggestions?
I really connect with your post because I also edit the tags on my mp3's in a particular manner which used to go really well with the stock Samsung music player.
I have exactly the same issue, everything else about Paranoid Android is amazing!!!
I have now started using WinAmp because I couldn't find a solution, but I would love to be able to get the stock music player back if it's possible or something similar
afaik, it's most likely not going to work because the stock music player relies on touchwiz framework, which paranoidandroid isn't based on.
I have joined the Samsung family after having been with Sony for many many years and the 1 thing I do miss are the music, keyboard and weather apps/widgets. Other then that I am loving the S10!
I do want to ask what music apps people are using though? Ideally I want 1 like Sony's as it gave me the option of a widget and I could download album art on there. I have tried many of the apks that are available for the Sony one, some don't work on the S10 and some work flawlessly EXCEPT I cannot make a playlist or add songs to my favourites. However when I tried doing these on other music apps and then going back to the Sony one, the songs will appear on my playlists?! Is there a reason for this? It's really bugging me that my S10 is not yet perfect for me :crying:
Any advice or recommendations are welcome!
Thanks:fingers-crossed:

Samsung Music 16.2.16.10 (Available On Apk Mirror) is the best music app ever made for offline playback. Its very colorful just like Sony's Walkman used to be.
For Editing Album Arts etc I would recommend Star Music editor from the play store.
Poweramp!
It's also the only music app with folders search in android auto

The Samsung app is very nice, but not usable for anyone with a music collection over 10k songs. It will only play the first 10k songs in the music players list. I've tried many different ways to get it to play different ways and it basically only plays the song you selected and the 9,999k in the first of the list from what the app can see. It wasn't like this prior to the apps updates introducing Spotify into the app.
The Sony music app, de-crippled to allow installation on all devices, is available on XDA here:

This is my favorite app for music quality, which supports different phones that have built in Hi-Res DAC or a dongle

Thanks everyone for your recommendations, I'll give them all a try later on =)
Also thanks for the link to Sony's 1 but I have already tried that and as mentioned, creating playlists or adding to favourites doesn't seem to work ? but for some reason if I create those playlists in another music app, they will appear in the Sony one?! Anybody know why or how I can fix this please?
