Guys, I'm obsessed with keeping a well-organized music library.
I add album art, lyrics and all details to each and every song I download.
I use TagNRaname to achieve this.
Now the problem. On both the Music Player and UberMusic (or any other player), some of my songs display incorrect album art. Like there one of two images that are repeated on several songs, even though those songs have separate embedded album art!
Please help. How do I solve this!
Try 'mp3tag' to add song details.
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
The details are added fine!
Its the phone that messes them up!
I have copied the same music to my iPod and the song art is fine there.

if you are on windows, go to view tab on folder options and check the first one, i.e. Always show icons, never thumbnails.
after selecting this, copy the songs again to your phone, it will show the correct album art.
i had many situations when windows messed up the album art.
Take back the song to your computer and check if the picture is correct.
Also try to wipe the thumbnail database.
Wiping cache didn't help.
This is so weird. Read.
When I copy the song with the messed up art to PC, it has the art embedded, but it doesn't show it. However, when I switch to Large Icons view mode, the art shows. Then, if I go back to Medium Icons, it shows it.
I suppose the problem above is due to the Windows Thumbnail cache. But... why the device? Why is it not showing the art correctly? And what criteria is it using in choosing the random art that it does show in place of the correct art?
did you select the option i have mentioned? did it work?
i believe windows chooses the album art of whichever song you play first in a folder and applies it to all songs which doesnt have any album art.
I even changed the SD Card today lol
And the Windows thing.. No that I don't use. I delete all the album art files created by Windows. I myself embed art into the mp3 files using a software. That way, the song itself has the art embedded in it.
My music library displays correct artwork in my iPod. The problem only exists on the Galaxy, and that too only in some songs.

Windows is definitely messy with the album art. even if you delete the album art, it still shows up messed when you play it with windows player.
for me, selecting the Always show icons, never thumbnails in folder options did the trick.
If you use your Ipod, why dont you try adding album art in Itunes and copy it back to windows and check.
I have the exact same issue. Being a professional DJ, I have to keep my music well organised, well tagged and I also make sure each track has its own album art embedded in it.
I use Media Monkey to tag.
Now, on my Galaxy S, no matter what player I use, some tracks show album art of another track and its just 2 or 3 pictures that show repeatedly on these tracks that are messed up. Its about 30% of the music that shows messed up embedded album art. Some tracks do not show a picture at all despite being tagged with album art. When I mount my SD on the PC and launch Media Monkey, all album art shows up nice and correct. Also, in Windows thumbnail view, all the art shows up correctly too.
I tried clearing Media storage data under applications but no luck. This is so utterly annoying!
What the hell is it with Android and embedded album art?
Some programs just dont encode the album art properly, ive had this happen a few times try this...
download mp3tag - http://download.mp3tag.de/mp3tagv249setup.exe
1 - drag you song that you want to change/update art into mp3tag.
2 - press shift+alt+5 and then change it to "import cover from file"
3 - click save.
the correct album art will now show up on your phone
solution
I had this same problem and it drove me nuts.
I finally realized that android prefers to use album art instead of my (very specific) COVER ART
If i had several songs from the same album, they all had the same art... and of course i didnt want this because I had previously downloaded art for every song specifically.
So what i did was, from my pc, deleted all the album names using "mp3tag" software,
Now the songs had no album reference, so the specific cover art was now displayed.

So, when running media player are you suppose to see the Album Art? I would assume the Blue Box I am seeing is where the art could be displayed but of course I only see a blue box in the upper/left and scrolling information in the bottom of this box about the mp3 that is playing.
yes you're supposed to see the cover.
Has the mp3 you're playing the cover in its tag ?
If you transfer your mp3s using WMP on your computer, do you have the covers ?
Yes, I see the Album art in Media Player and in iTunes on my Vista PC. Also, all other meta data is seen on the Tilt by going to the properties of the mp3.
This is how it looks in my folder on vista.
How did you put the mp3s you're playing on your tilt ? Did you use the sync function of WMP ? If you've just transfered it using explorer, it may not work because I think WMP is using a little picture of the cover instead of the corresponding tag in the mp3.

I only direct copied it... that could be it.
yup-
to get the album art-ya gotta synch it through media player
You are both correct, after using Media Player to sync up "Dark Side of the Moon" I got album art (I see the little jpg file it places in the directory with the mp3 files). That is rather stupid but at least I know now.
Thanks for you time and helping with my stupid question.
Most of the mp3s I direct copied kept their cover art (manually added in itunes) but 1 or 2 albums didn't. The only thing I can see in common is that the albums that didn't bring their cover art were the albums that itunes automatically found art for. The albums I added the covers manually kept theirs. Funny.....
Does anyone know? I did a Windows Media Player sync like the getting started guide says. My playlists and music is recognized in the TouchFLO music player, but the album art does not show. The Album Art DOES show if I open the same playlists/music in Windows Media Player.
It looks like there is an "hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg" image in the Internal Storage/Content/Music folder for each album that the device came with. Is that what the TouchFLO 3D media player uses to display album art? Why can't it use Folder.jpg like Windows Media Player does?
Has anyone figured out how to get this to work without renaming a copy of folder.jpg for each album on the device?
EDIT: The following instructions is what I had to do on the 1.34 ROM in order to get album art to appear in TouchFLO 3D:

You can embed the album art in the tag with a tool like mediamonkey. I keep all my mp3's tidy with all info and art, the player on the diamond will go through the tags and display the art for you. I also saw the .jpg in a folder of provided content, so potentially that is another way But I have not tried it due to what I already explained.
I tired put my album image and rename to folder.jpg(200 x 200px) and hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg(256 x 256px) into Internal Storage/Content/Music/Artist/Album and the TouchFLO 3D would load the images.

your sure? i have MP3s with embedded Album Art in the tag (i use MP3tag) but they would not show. Only if i use WMP11 to sync i have art
I have MP3s with Album art embedded too, and they didn't transfer over, probably because I sync playlists using Windows Media Player.
I tried adding hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg images to some folders in my synced music Library on Internal Storage/Music/, but that didn't work for showing album art either.
I don't do the drag/drop File Manager way of adding MP3s because that's way too much of a hassle to manage. Auto-syncing selective playlists in Windows Media Player is a much easier method of managing what music is on my device.
I guess I'll try running Tag & Rename (http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm) on the internal storage tonight, but that's going to suck if I have to do it every time I change my syncing playlists.
dont worry bro.. dont worry.. i did it without any extra programs
like this: internal storage/my documents/my music(u might need to create one) /madonna(eg. album) /madonna's mp3(all of madonna's mp3) AND folder.jpg(IMPORTANT! this folder.jpg IS madonna's pic or album art. u have to rename it to folder.jpg)
after u done that, htc will auto attach a .jpg file into your album, should be htc_am_album.jpg or somehting like that. and u got your album in your htc player. if it still doesnt load...
go to the player manually, tap library on the left lower corner. scroll to album and it might automatically detect it by then.

That didn't work for me. It should have detected them originally, since Windows Media Player syncing does create folder.jpg images like that. I have TouchFLO 3D 1.1.34072.1 1630.15. Is your's a different version??
This is what I had to do to get it to work:
http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?p=74481#post74481
The renaming to folder.jpg worked for me, too.
It appears it won't happen instantly, but after some time the picture is used.
In fact, the HTC album creates a new copy of the folder.jpg with an adapted resolution which it names htc_am_albumart.jpg.
So simply put your folder.jpg in your album folder and have some patience, it will happen. I've not yet figured out what triggers this.
syncing Album Art in USB mode
Hi All,
After a few days of frustation with my Diamond mediaplayer I found that syncing the following way is most satisfactory to get album art across from my PC:
1. set WMP 11 to sync without conversion, that is MP3 format (so no gain in WMA compression)
2. set your Diamond to USB
3. sync your songs from WMP
This seems to work fine for at least 9 out of 10 songs !
Have fun

Touch Flow does not find music
Hi,
I have synced all the musics via Media Player.
But Diamond does not find them in touch flow.
It allways says "No music Found"
I noticed that it puts the music in a folder called "Music" on the root of the Internal Storage instead of the \Content\Music
Anyone had this problem or has any ideias?
Regards,
Jose
Have you tried opening windows media player and updating the library ?
When I do that the tf3d page updates its library too
How to Sync TouchFLO 3D Album Art
HI
I have the same issue, I just let WMA to sync all my album to the HTC. All my albums are put in the /internal storage/music folder. Using the TF3D and the music option I can chose the library and launch one album but I can not have all my album diplayed in this screen.. I always must go through the library to chose my album.. But with this synchronuisation the image associete with the labum is fine dusplayed
I had also updated the lbrary using WMA on the HTC
thanks for your experience
when you view in TF3D all image album, you must create playlist with all song and then you look all album in TF3D, bud when you skip to other album must skip all song from previous album.

I must say that HTc are being a bit crap with this. Why on earth cant it just use the WMP album art is beyond me. They must have some right muppets in their project teams.

I was thinking the same thing. Couple days ago i decided to try out the music player and i really can't understand (being a software developer myself) how the hell they let this pass.
Btw, i only managed to get the album art show, by renaming the WM art file to folder.jpg, deleting the HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng file, and reset the device. It created the HTC_AM.... .jpg on the folders.

where is the file you are deleting? I have still not got this to show art.
Works well
Rename all your albumart to folder.jpg using flashrenamer
JUst change the registry key HKLM/software/htc/audiomanager */audiomanager from 1.5 to 0.
Soft reset your diamond
Then the diamond makes files called HTC albumart and you can then see all your album art in the Touchflo 3d screen.
Hi all,
I have finally managed to get the album art to be displayed in the Touch Flo 3D. When I select a song from the library, the correct image is shown. However, I'm still not able to flip / browse / scroll through the different albums which are stored in the 4GB internal memory. Flo 3D just doesn't display the albums, only individual songs.
When I just unpacked the Diamond, there were two demo albums (with one song) stored in the device memory. Those were displayed correctly, but I've erased those demo albums, because the songs were not my style.
It seems that the Internal Storage is not scanned in a proper way to display the albums, because I get the message "Geen muziek gevonden", which is Dutch for "No music found". But the strange thing is, is that the individual songs are selectable through the library.
I used Windows Media Player 11 to synchronize my music albums. Anyone having similar problems, because I could not find a thread on this.
Is the album art included in the tags? If not you could try that. I don't know if WMP does that, but media monkey and other free apps do. If it doesn't even work then somethings probably not right.
I've added the album art in the tags using MediaMonkey. Before that, the images were not even shown, but as I said, I've managed to fix that. The only problem that remains is that I'm not able to scroll through the albums. Am I missing something? How do you select album flipping? Is this a special combination?
There are a lot of ways to show up album art. Mediamonkey works but i just put the song under content/music, create an folder with the artist name and put the song with a jpg picture in that map. Rename the picture to folder.jpg and you're device creates the album art. Under the touchflow select library and play the song so it shows up.
It sounds like your issue is not in getting album art to show at this point, but in getting the flip interface to show albums rather than songs, correct? I'm afraid you are mistaken about the original configuration. The flip interface always has and will continue to merely show songs. It's just that the original samples only had one song per album, so it looked like it was showing you individual albums. To browse through your albums, you need to drill down into the appropriate screen in the library. The flip interface will only show the songs in your active playlist.

Hmmm, could that be the case? Let me settle with this explanation (for now). Thanks!
I have a stock Sprint TP. I noticed too that the Albums disappeared from the flip interface in TF3D after playing a song. As stated above, to get back to being able to Flip between songs on Albums you need to go to the Music tab, select Library from the bottom then navigate to All Songs tab, select Menu > add to Playlist. Now all the songs in your library are in your playlist and will be displayed on the main Music tab in TF3D.
gbrailsford, thanks that worked great for me! I used windows media player to sync songs and put the album covers through
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.
I sync my music using Windows Media Player. Almost all of my songs have album art that displays fine in WMP. For some reason, only about 30% of the songs I sync to my Cappy have their album art displayed in the List or Now Playing views. In WMP it's easy to see why a song doesn't display album art because those files are visible within the folders (they have cryptic names and sizes, but all have a Folder.jpg file of the art), but Android only shows the music file. Looking at the folders for the songs that display correctly compared to ones that don't I see no difference. I used to have an app on WinMo that fixed issues with album art, but no such app exists on Android. Any ideas what is causing this? I want all my songs to display album art instead of that goofy blurred color thing.

There are a few apps that will download the album art, but what I think it is that the ones that work might have the info embeded in the id3 tags. Just a thought.

Yeah, I thought that, but I do that for all my mp3s. There's no rhyme or reason why some work and some don't. I'll give the Market a look.
It is possibly the format of the tags. I use Mp3tag on Windows to tag my files. I write ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags to the files. It's a free program, the dev accepts donations.
I really like mp3tagger pro (about $1.30) from the market for tagging files on the phone. Dev Site It found album art for some of my files that programs on my PC did not locate (Media Monkey, Album Art Downloader and Mp3tag).
I like this free app to fix album art on my phone.
Album Art Grabber
http://timothyjc.blogspot.com/2010/08/album-art-grabber.html
if you want to fix the situation in your pc's music library... try embedding the art in the tag...
though I don't think that is necessary. as none of mine is embedded. I have a 'cover.jpg' file in every folder though... and those images then show up in my gallery until I delete them. (after the cover thumbnails have been made
Thanks, guys. I ended up going with ID3Tagger because it was the only one that does WMA and other formats besides MP3. I often use WMA because the quality is the same as a 128k file, but the file sizes are smaller. Tried the free version and liked it enough to buy the paid one. It isn't fast when you have as many songs as I have, but it works and well.
