I have tried just about everything in every thread on here to get the albums to actually show on the main screen of the music player.
I can see them all if i go to library albums and they all show their art but when i play one i cant see the other to scroll through them.
So Far :
I have embedded the art in to EVERY file
I have created a folder.jpg in each folder
Tried syncing it with my Media Player
Still no working, all work fin in slide 2 play but want to get them working with music player as well.
Any help much appreciated
Pah...album art has to be the single most awkward thing to get to work consistently in any media player at all.
If I were you I would give it up and listen to the music...
Do you mean that in the main screen only one or two songs display (regardless of album art)? If so, go to library, choose for all songs, and press up again. You can also go to All songs and select one song, it should start playing and show all the other albums also(when you flip through them)
I use mediamonkey to embed every mp3 i have with an album tag. Then i simply copy the mp3's i want to the phone (I've created a folder called MP3 in the Internal Storage and copy the files all there)
Then all album art is there (sometimes one or two pictures missing out of hundreds of songs)
I bought 'Anthems' Ministry Of Sound Electronic 80's Volume 2 from Amazon MP3 and it shows in Music as about 60 different 'Albums' each with one song in it. Perhaps 2 songs if there is more than one track by a particular artist on the compilation. This is not good as I can't play the Album.
I imported the set of MP3s into iTunes, and it shows on iTunes and on my iPod as a single album. Must have got that from the ID3 tags, I guess?
I deleted the album from my Amazon MP3 folder on the Galaxy, then used DoubleTwist to import it back onto the Galaxy from my iTunes library, and it /still/ has 60 different 'Albums'.
How can I get this album to show as one Album? I've tried the Galaxy stock Music player, and MixZing and Zimly. They all show it as multiple albums.
I'm trying to get rid of my iPod and use the Galaxy as my main music source, but things like this are getting me down.
Please help!
Thanks
Done some searching and I find that compilation albums are a sore point in Android and no app will sort them properly. A lot of my music is multi artist compilation and it's just a mess in any player app that I can find. Just tried winamp too.
Guess I won't be replacing my ipod after all

Just use the folder option in the library to play the album.

Not sure what that means - if I look with Astro or My Files apps, each song is in a folder of its own, hanging off the 'Music' folder on my external SD. Single artist albums have all the songs in an Artist/Album/Song hierarchy.
it was probably done that way by doubletwist.
Download media monkey, copy the compilation, go into media monkey, find that copy, then using media monkey select all tracks, and change album name to whatever you want. Done!
Fix Found
Had this issue, it appears it's an ID3 tag error.
You can fix it by getting an app called ID3 fixer.
Select the folder that holds your music and set the charset to "US-ASCII (English)"
If you still have issues, try different charsets.
All my songs have album art and have edited id3tags and and names.
when i make a folder named new music in my music folder and put a mix of different songs in it almost all of the songs get one album art image... tried to clear music data and delete the song that that art is linked to... . the problem persists even if i remove that song-then another image is applied to all of the songs...
On my nokia phone album art is shown correctly for all of the songs...
does anyone know how to solve this problem..

I have just flashed my phone with the ROM 2.3.6 XWJW5 and found that all the album arts can not be displayed in the stock music app. In the previous ROM 2.3.4, there was no problem with those music files and stock music app.
Can anybody advise if it is the bug of the ROM or can it be fixed?
Hi all,
I am now having difficulties to add music folders onto the stock music player on gal not.
Currently i am using poweramp it is much easier, but i have issue when playing a song then the poweramp gets hung. It cannot skip and need to reboot the phone.
If anybody out there can help me please share me the knowledge.
Thank you
BR
Where are your music folders?
I have the opposite problem. The stock player includes every MP3 file on my phone, but some of my MP3s aren't music and I don't want them in the music player.
The stock player should just scan your whole phone and include any MP3s it finds. I don't think there is a way to tell it which folders to include or ignore.
Add a .nomedia file in the folders it shouldn't include.
@beanr2s
Open stock music player - menu - setting - music menu - check mark on folder
thats it.
hey guys, just wanna know if im the only one feeling this way
i personally think walkman feels like an unfinished music player
no folder playing, no repeat option, no sorting playlist.
the infinte view and light effects are good, and thats the thing that makes still using it.
if we use other music player, will the light effect still play?
Press on the album art to show repeat option

Use Poweramp Bro.. No one can beat that.. Look is not a matter.. Performance is the real matter. Poweramp wins there

i'm totally agree with you :good:
thanks for all the reply.
i agree sony walkman has the best sound. the reason im not trying to use other msic player is because usually they have their own equalizer, and not all support the phone's stock sound effect.
manually sorting is way to tedious, i was thinking of having a sort button that ask how will u sort it, by artist name, by song title etc.

no, i mean in my playlist.
when i first create a playlist, i tick the songs alphabetically, but when the playlist is created, the song list was jumbled up, not like the way i added it 1st time. what i mean is, i cannot find a sort button to sort the music list in my playlist. there is only a shuffle button, and in the dropdown menu, edit playlist there is no auto sort, i'll have to manually sort it, n its kind of tedious.
thats why i hope there will be an update for walkman that can play folder so i dont need to create another playlist whatsoever.

well, dunno, maybe im too demanding
but im so used to having a folder playing option on my previous custom music player (on galaxy gio) so im a bit annoyed its not a standard on all music player
Hi people, I Am very dissapointed from Walkman for these two reasons: No folder choosing and no genre choosing for every mood that you are in a moment. Ihave Power metal folders, Rap, Drum'n'bass, Classic and when open Walkman its like one big chaos. What I'm do for that?
First make a new Playlist with name of wanted genre, after that I'm use other player with folder play option and put all folder in desired playlist. And after 5 min of work the chaos in Walkman is ignored and choose to play only that playlist with currend mood.
P. S. Sorry for my english, I am selflerner in third world country.
I'm not sure what you mean by "put all folder in desired playlist", but for me sorting genres as playlists worked. No need to copy any files anywhere. Just create a new playlist and add songs. I suggest doing it on computer using Sony's Media go software. It'll be a lot faster.
