MusixMatch adds all ID3 tags. It even has auto-fetch of Lyrics, Tags, Album Art etc. Also even if you don't want to use it as a player, the floating lyrics works in the Play Music app also, It detects the currently playing song and shows a floating lyrics window.

Worked fine for me as well, but no album art showing.
I have a cover named folder.jpg in that same directory.
Anybody have a solution?
You have to choose in the menu either all songs, artists or albums to show in touch flo.

Is there anyone willing to do a quick guide for a noob? I think quite a few people would benifit from it.
Cheers
Just copy your music to internal storage\music. To see album art just add it to your mp3s tags.
Cool, that worked cheers!!
whether its hero or any other rom, i never see album art when playing music.
I have the album file on my desktop, the cover art pic is in it, i copy it to the music folder in my sd card.
What else am i supposed to do to be able to see the cover art when playing music? It sure would make the app a lot cooler...thanks

Check out MP3 Tag or Media Monkey. They both do a good job of looking up and updating MP3 tags. I use the latter personally.

interesting, downloading now. this will probably sound stupid but will the media monkey help me put together a file that has the music and an automatically recognizable image (ie cover art)? thanks
Anyone know any apps for Ubuntu that would work? I have EayTag, but after injecting the album art to ID3 it still doesn't show on the phone :-(

i just started using media monkey (on vista 64) and it works great. cant you download that software through ubuntu? Once i figured out how it worked media monkey is a breeze.
Why the music player doesn't show the picture of the album during playing a song? Only for some is working even if the picture are present on the laptop and are showed in the player of the laptop
Happens to me all the time. I don't know why. All I guess is that windows reads the tags differently than android. I use album art grabber from the market. For a very small price it works very well. Very good and simple app.

I second this
I think it only displays album art that is embeded in a file. No album art that I have as just jpg's in a folder show up.
Shows all my album art for me! You just gotta tag everything correctly, just use mediamonkey or mp3tag.

Rename the art to AlbumArt.jpg and it gets read. Also, if art is not showing up, play a track from the album, and restart the music player.

Hmm, you try the auto tag thingy or are you adding jpgs? Mp3Tag searches amazon for tag info and downloads album art too (i think directly into the mp3) and when it downloads it works for me. Mediamonkey's autotag service seems to be down or something but it was working on friday .
I still think the easiest solution is to use Album Art Grabber. It only costs a few dollars and takes a few seconds to run. Here's a little review of the app. http://htcsource.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=630&Itemid=46
If you have any suggestions for it, the developer is great at responding to feedback. I know he's already working on a few updates that will make it even better.
Album Art Grabber +1
Another vote for Album Art Grabber. Bought it yesterday, works great, super easy. Definately worth the money.
I'm trying too album art grabber and it works perfectly!
I'm nerdy and tagging my mp3s properly, so no need for extra software. I think Windows uses ID3v1 to display info in folders etc. & Android afaik ID3v2. Various applications use different tags, so I'm using both and for the album art to show, the images needs to be embedded too.
So with 4.4 came the full screen album art on the lockscreen when playing music. Because I converted my HTC One into a Google Edition I am now using the stock music app google play music. The new lockscreen album art is cool BUT one major flaw.........All my album art looks blurry! I know its not a major issue but is there a way to somehow reset the images and get higher resolution album art into this? I downloaded a song from google play to see what it looks like on the lockscreen and it looks amazing and crisp. So......what is up with my music and their album covers?
Anyone?

i believe you have to go into google play music on the web and manage it that way..you should be able to change and take album art off only if you've already uploaded your music on there.

Hi, i´m using the same combination. HTC One reconfigured to GPE with Kitkat 4.4. At mine the resolution of Coverart in lockscreen while playing from Google Play Music is ok. Not blurry.
sorry for not helping you, but it seems not to be a generally problem. Maybe it´s only for self uploaded music?
Hi,
I just sold my iPhone 5s and ordered the Xperia Z2 online.
Is the Walkman app able to play the iTunes m4a format and show the artist, song title, album name, artwork etc. I have over 4000 songs in my iTunes library. All my songs are DRM-free.
I would rather not covert these to mp3 as it would result is loss of sound quality.
Thanks

According to the White paper the Z2 is not able to play this format.
Ref: http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z2_D6502_D6503_D6543_WP_3.pdf
Poweramp plays them.

Yes, there're two methods do to it:
1- Menu: "download music infos" (it can be quite long)
or
2- Listen to an album, select "modifiy music infos" and select the image that is in the album folder.

Ok.
Thank for your help. If I find a solution I will post on here.
I believe iTunes stores album artwork slightly differently. It doesn't embed the artwork into the mp3/4 file itself, but rather stores a link to the album art. I guess this means you only have to store album art once per album, rather than once per track. However I've found it breaks compatibility with other apps, as you're finding here.
When you grab album art from within the walkman app, it's embedding it in the mp3/4 file, which is why that works.
Some useful info here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22652504#22652504
You can use a script if you're on a mac to embed everything, or you can manually embed the artwork in each file, which will then worth fine on your xperia.
Back in th days when I went from my iPhone 4 to Android I found that Album art Grabber was the best and fastest choice for me. The iTunes covers didn't work so I used this method instead. It might take some time but it is worth it
All sorted now.
I used the free version of mediamonkey which found all the artwork automatically.
Thanks everyone for your replies.

Yes, just copy to sdcard... works perfect and shows album cover on my Xperia Z with WALKMAN (best music player!! )
This was my issue when switching from iPhone to Android as well. I went with Google Music All Access and uploaded all my songs and this way I can get whatever songs I want.
