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.

Hello All!
It seems line not so long ago I was joining XDA to get help with my HTC Mogul. Seems so long ago. We have all come a long way since then, and I’m here today to announce my new Android application.
simplePLAY is a media player that adds some unique functionality for browsing tracks, as well as simplifying the play screen functionality. See below for detailed information, as well as links to purchase for a measly 99 cents on the Android market.
If anyone has any questions or comments I will try to address them here.
Thank you all for the support throughout my years here!

simplePLAY
Enjoy your music and podcasts with ease using simplePlay, the new media player from Twisted Pixels Multimedia.
simplePLAY allows you to browse your music files with ease, using unique features like Quick Letter to jump to a specific letter while browsing.
Pressing the playing tab in the bottom of the corner takes you the "No Look" playing screen, where you can swipe left or right to navigate tracks, tap the screen to play and pause, or swipe down return to the library. No wrong buttons to press, no fumbling for the right function. Simple. Safe. Great for attention free shuffling while driving.
Other features include:
• Theme Support (Light, Dark, more to come)
• High Resolution Album Art Downloading
• Fullscreen functionality
• Optional screen lock while powered
• Podcast support includes bookmarking functionality.
Market Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedpixels.simple_play
Purchased right away, as I really like the idea of this player.
I've only been playing with it for a short while, but here's a few thoughts...
I like:
Lovely clean & minimalistic look.
The "quick-jump by letters" feature makes the library a pleasure to use!
Gestures.
Podcast playback with resume.
Responsive and fast.
What I'd like to see implemented or improved:
Lockscreen widget!
Being able to override the functionality of volume buttons while locked. PlayerPro allows me to use these buttons to change/skip songs (long press) as well as adjust volume (short press), while on the lockscreen. This makes the player easy to operate while still in my pocket.
The buttonless interface is great, but a (optional) position slider would be very useful in the podcast mode.
Perhaps a equalizer?
Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the feedback!
I continue to try and improve the app, and will add all of your suggestions to my to-do list. Lockscreen and volume button controls are not included natively, but do work with some custom ROMs. I will look into adding these in the future.
I have also received numerous requests for a time slider, and I will be adding that and a volume slider soon. The playing screen will keep it's simplistic design, but additional controls will be brought up with a double tap.
Thanks again for supporting!
Josh
What are the widgets like, if there are any? I couldn't see any in the video.
Thanks for considering my previous requests I would also like to add another one:
Please stop invoking the media scanner every time the player is launched.
wow man, i like the simplicity!!! kudos

goood job!!! thx
Thank you all for the kind comments. Update went out last night with some interface tweaks and a new theme.
Next update should be a big one with time and volume sliders and a homescreen widget.
If you would like to help spread the word you can follow the official Twisted Pixels twitter account or my personal twitter here.
Thank You Guys!

Purchased. Like a lot. Needs a few improvements.
Ability to easily play all songs in an album without having to menu -> play all.
When a song is selected from within an album, only that song plays. It would be nice if the other songs in the album were added to the "playlist" so that once again I didnt have to select menu -> play all
ummmm im alittle scared....i went to the developers website (twisted pixels) and it says hacked by arab something O_O
Hi All.
Sorry about the website. It did get hacked, as did other sites on the same server farm. I have my webhost working on it and it should be back up later today. Just keep in mind that simplePLAY was developed entirely separate from the site, and there is no risk involved in purchasing.
The app has really taken off since being featured on AndroidCentral yesterday, and I want to keep the momentum by adding some features being requested.
In response to jhotmann:
If you want to play or queue an entire album you can do so by holding down the selection from the album menu. This works from the Artist menu as well.
Any other questions or requests?
Purchased this app, so far I'm loving it. Despite some missing features, it's a really good player. As people have said, a nice widget and some extra controls would be nice for the next update. Keep up the good work!
Is there a way to go directly to an album list.
Currently it seems I have to go into artist, then select the album they're in, it seems a bit backwards.

I'm sorry you are having trouble downloading, but there is nothing I can do from the developer side to fix a stuck download. I believe this is either a problem with the market, your device or a combination of both.
If there are any other developers who can suggest how to fix this please let me know and i would be happy to help.

Two simple questions
Hi! This app is really awesome, and i want to buy it , but first i need to know two things.
1) The app has a lastfm support?
2) If i disconnect the headphones the music stops?
If the app can make this two things then i buy it
Good job!
Edit: Nevermind... I buy the app and do all the things that i need! I really want to participate translating the app... There is a way to help in the translation to spanish? Cheers!
hey guys,
the thread name already says it.. I'm currently on cm7 and I am not able to turn off the screen while playing youtube videos (just want to listen to some music). the video/sound stops instantly. Is there any option to prevent the player from stopping the playback?!
thanks
(please move the thread to Q&A, just saw I posted in the wrong section)
post this in Q&A section.
So I'm having a bit of a problem. I like to play my music through pi music player and I've tried everything but can't get it to show up on Android auto. I'm already in developer mode and I have unknown sources enabled but no matter what it doesn't show up to be added in the customize menu option. Can someone please help!

Hi guys!
I think all the owners of Pixel 6, Pixel 4 noticed that most of their ringtones have haptic feedback. I was wondering if it's possible to overlay your track and your haptic feedback on the audio. After searching for an answer, I found an article on the Android site, and I decided to release my xxxx (NOT ADVERTISING, IT'S COMPLETELY FREE), for convenient creation of such audios.
I released a video on YouTube, which clearly shows how this tool works.

You can try too, I assure you that you will have a great experience!
In fact, it does not make any sense, it can be tried for fun, or for getting new sensations.
Spoiler: Requirements
1. Downloaded track on your Pixel
2. Access to Telegram.
3. Any audio player that does not mess with the Android API (for example, Retro Music, or the built-in player in Solid Explorer)
Spoiler: Read Me
I would like to reiterate that this is a free tool, it is not advertising, it has no commercial purpose, it is completely free!
xxxxxx
Just wanted to share my development, and give you a new experience with your Pixel.
