it depends on music files
i don't have such issue!
album app will scan all sd-card for images and video
you can see some of them as sort in folders and etc but no way to limit its scanning process...
:good:
I just deleted all album artworks. I use Shuttle and it downloads arts automatically and hides them in secret folder no album app can find.
Create .nomedia file in those music folders?

Hi,
I've removed all the sample music from \INTERNAL STORAGE\, and sync some MP3 with Media Player. However, I found the MUSIC still not being updated - Showing "NO MUSIC FOUND" and in the library they are removed music list...
Any methods I can update the music library ?
Thanks
have u tried updating from windows media player first?
My sample music was located on the [System] partition not Internal Storage. I deleted everything in the MUSIC folder. I then created a folder under \Internal Storage\My Documents which I called My Music and put my music in it. Now it's fine. I have my album art there and it's perfect.
For album art to show, make sure you have a file called folder.jpg in each album's folder.

I followed your way and that's always "Searching...".
Just to check - you did unplug the device from the PC right? Because it disables the internal storage access from the device while it's connected.
Try to click "Library", Scroll to "All Songs" and play any of the songs from the list...
This should help.

I found it's because of double-byte characters in the MP3 tag values...as I've put a MP3 with pure English tags, it works.
Thanks!
I also have chinese tags but no transfer problem...and they are displayed correctly with ce-star
hi hi.. as in u rename the album art to folder.jpg? or is it an additional .jpg file or folder apart from the album art?
for eg. if it's andylau.jpg should i rename it to folder.jpg?
or should it be andylau.jpg, plus another folder.jpg?
will it be correct if my 'andylau' folder contains all the mp3, and i put the album art into the same 'andylau' folder filled with andy lau's mp3s?

I didn't install CE-Star but just Fontpatch that I used for my WM5. It's working fine and stable. How's CE-Star in Diamond?

Mine definitely doesn't work with Folder.jpg in the album folder. See:

Now I'm thinking some people may have a different version of TouchFLO 3D. Again see this thread.
I hate to see all the images that I have as Album Art for my music showing up in my Gallery.. is there anyway to hide only Album Art images?
I try .noMedia file but that hide my Music too..
any suggestions would be appreciated..
Thanks
I'd like to know this too...
Try embedding the album art inside the audio files.

thats how I have my album art but it still shows up.. when you upload song to G1 SdCard, it extract the album and create different images..
How about "rm -f *.jpg *.png *.gif" within the directory containing audio?
having the same problem, any solutions yet?
Create a seperate folder and move all our album art into it then .nomedia it, simple.
Hi
the solution is to rename the file to albumart.jpg
the music player will see the album art and the gallery will ignore it
Or you could just embed, which would avoid the hassle of keeping external album art images
Bringing back an old dead topic to live!!!
I've changes all my albumb arts to .albumart.jpg . so the gallaery did not show them back in Gingerbread.
but after upgrading to ICS all these hidden files are viewable again in the library. even .nomedia does not work.
p.s. I've used Windows mediaplayer to collect album arts and they are all small ,hidden, machine named JPGs.
Same problem with Motorola Atrix 2 ICS release. Gallery wants to load all album art. Needs to be fixed.
Hi all,
I was going through my gallery this evening, and im finding it really annoying that ALL my album art is in there
Anybody any ideas if its possible to hide/remove images from the gallery? Or will I simply have to remove my album art(not that I really care about it!)?
create an empty file call .nomedia in ur album art folder and run the media scanner/dis-mount-remount ur sd/restart the phone. All folder with the .nomedia file will be ignored (image, music & video).
I am having the issue with album art showing up in the gallery but am hesitant to use .nomedia.
Will my music still be found if the album art is in the same folder as the music?
Will the album art be found for the music apps if there is .nomedia in the folder?
It seems we should be able to just specify where the gallery should look for pictures instead of scanning the entire SD.
The music app still functions fine. I have all of my album art embedded in my mp3s but when I had them as separate files they still showed up in the music app even though I had the .nomedia file.
You can easily delete that file and reboot if you want to go back.
I have many folders in my gallery of pics such as album art, game pics, splash screens etc which I don't want in my gallery. Is there an app or way to stop the gallery from watching certain folders. Also have the same problem with music and video where game music and videos show up.
Thanks alot

Create a blank file named .nomedia and put it in each folder. Everything in the folder and any folder below should be hidden.
Is there a way to that on my phone or do I have to do on my comp which is at home?

Check JustPictures app from market
A lot faster and more options than standard Gallery app

Its not really a lot faster but it does have options, its significantly slower though since it shows higher resolution/quality images.

you can stop the media scanner by command or by app (search in dev section)
I have a similar issue and I am going mad with my 1000s of media art showing on gallery. There should be a way to manually assign afolder for indexing.

Right, i like opt-in more as well, but nowadays it is opt-out everywhere.
What i did was putting empty .nomedia file in all main folders so media scan is fast now. Gallery and MP3 Player are of course empty now, but since i use QuickPic and PowerAmp as alternatives that allow opt-in, i do not care.
Before that i used Rescan Media Root to disable media scanning completely, but this had the bad side effect of loosing custom ring tones after reboot.
Hi guys. Is there a setting for the Album app to capture only 1 album source (like DCIM)? Default setting is like all image files are shown like everything from screenshots to album arts from mp3s. It would be nice to select what folders to capture and show on the app. Is there a possibility of doing this or should I just use other apps?

Well, a workaround would be to use Quickpic and exclude all folders except the DCIM folder
Thanks biggie. I already got quickpic. But i really like album. I wish ony would make this a feature.
