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.

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

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.
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..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
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'm using the stock music player on my Note. I really like the stock player and I don't need all those extra functions from the music player on the Play store. But there's a problem, the music player shows incorrect album artwork. This only happens to the songs with the same album name. For example, I have 5 single songs, each of them have their own artwork. They don't belong in an album, so I left the ID3 album tag blank. On the phone, these 5 singles are recognized in the "Unknown Album" album. Because the phone thinks these five songs are in the "same" album, it only reads the first album artwork, and applies it to all five songs.
I've already tried using cover art downloader, album art grabber, they work great for American songs. But I have a lot of Chinese songs that don't belong in their database, so there's no way for me to fix the album artwork for these foreign songs.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Or are you guys experiencing the same problem?
Thanks
There is a weird and annoying bug in XXLSC and XXLSZ's stock Music Player (and Google Play Music in XXLSZ).
In XXLSC, all my music was in /sdcard/Music, like it was in ICS (and it was fine there), but the stock Music Player said 'No songs'. Nothing I did (including restarting the app, restarting the phone, renaming the folder to 'music' and 'MUSIC') worked.
A similar problem occurs in XXLSZ. When I turn the phone on, the stock Music Player says 'No songs'. But when I open Google Play Music which is installed by default, 8 of my 12 songs are displayed. When I switch back to the stock Music Player, it also displays the 8 songs. It's really annoying that I can't get all my songs on the app.
What can I do to fix this in XXLSZ?
You can resolve installing Rocket Player, it find all media
Since the default music app is using the wrong album art on some songs and doesn't have a widget, and I don't really like Google Play Music, I decided to use Musixmatch as my default music player.
The problem now is, that if I use the music gestures, Musixmatch won't recognize them and either nothing happens or another music app responds to it. Then I uninstalled the included music player and deactivated Google Play Music so the only player I had was Musixmatch. Now the phone only vibrates when using a gesture, but nothing happens.
Is there a way to fix this or is it an error of Musixmatch?
I guess it's the error of the Musixmatch. I'm using the music gestures with the Sony music app, without disabling any stock music app, and it works just fine.
