It depends on the file that you downloaded. I used poweramp too and it only works for songs that I downloaded off of Tunee Music that show the Artist and Title of the song the way they are supposed too.
Does that make sense?
For example,
Lady Gaga-Poker Face--->It will find this one no problem
Poker Face Lady Gaga----> It wont find files that are incorrectly labeled.

Should I go into root explorer and rename the files? Would that work out is it somehow coded in the file?

Why dont some album artworks show up?

I have all my music in iTunes and get all the album art from there, then I transfer the music to a folder and then onto my phone. All the artwork was downloaded and flawless on itunes, but 50% of them dont transfer over to the phone.
The phones own album art grabber in the music app is average at best, for me.
Whats the deal?
I use cover Art Downloader to grab the missing album arts, the paid version lets you save the images in to music folder.

Use PC, right click, Properties, Details. Change it from there.
You can edit metadata like Artist, Album, Song, Genre, Age, etc. You can even add an album picture with software like winamp, aimp or Windows media player.
There are many tag editors, you can google it and search for a good one that fits your needs.
I've always used AudioShell for PC.
Lets you right click a song and edit properties directly.
I think he means how to edit those attributes using the phone itself
Well, if you want to edit them using your phone, you can do it in PowerAMP. You can also pick an album cover, but that only works in PowerAMP. For example, if you edit the tags in PowerAMP and then open any other Music Player, it won't show any of the tags you added nor the Album Cover.
Just search mp3 tag editor in the play store

iTag seems to work best for me. Allows you to edit almost all values of the MP3 tags, including album art.
love this app
DroidID3tagger does it all for you with one click

Thank you. It's good. Testing full version of JetAudio and I need this. They should implement id tagging like PowerAMP does.

Download AudioShell, install it on your PC, and do the editing in your PC. Just right click MP3 files and click AudioShell Tab and edit away!
This allows you to edit Title, Artist, Album, Year, Track Number, Genre, and add Album Art.
You can also flash the xperia s music player and do all the editing on the music player
Use a program such as Autoshell or Mp3tag. I'm unsure can you do it on your android phone but it is likely that you can.

Album Cover not applied

I have a folder with music and place inside album cover and trying to call it like Folder.jpg or Albumart.jpg or cover.jpg but no one help me. Default Play Music application still use default cover for this folder.
Is there any way to apply my own album cover without embeded album cover to each mp3 file with programs like mp3tag?
PS: ICS 4.0.4
There is an app in the Market called Album Art Grabber. Try it out.

comment from Play store:
It says it works with ICS but not with Google music. I guess that means you also need a third party player, but the app says nothing about this. This worked great with older Android phones, but if you are running OVA and using the native music app, forget it.

Because I have some mixed folders that not real album so I want to set up for it my album cover and this is would be wrong if I set up for each file wrong album cover image
PS: problem still not resolved ^(
Use iTag. The album art has to be embedded into the song.
OR
Download cover art downloader, edit album art, wipe Google play music app data. It rescans your library and adds the art.

SocialReject and manumanfred can you trying read information about my problem? I ask how to set up album cover image without embeded image to each mp3 file. iTag like mp3tag applied it to mp3 file and album art grabber didn't work with default ICS player Play Music.

Did you wipe app data in settings? I said it rescans your media once you set up again. iTag was just a suggestion.

Will the stock ICS music player read all of these? I thought it wanted albumart.jpg, but I might have had an issue with not clearing the app data.

Music Cleanup App?

Buy Music. Do not get them from pirated sources. You'll not need such apps then!
EDIT:Most media players do it automatically these days. You just need to find the correct one.

The MX player does that.
The music is all legal except I bought it when I was in China so for whatever reason, the song names are English but album and artist names show up as strange weird characters in Google Play music app (pic attached) and It's quite expensive for me to buy them all over again. I think I'll check out Mx player. Thanks for your help guys.

Try mediamonkey on the PC. The free version should be OK for what you need to do.

[Guide] Remove WALKMAN Music Player Album Art Thumbnails or Caches

Sometimes ur album arts get messed up, but the thumbnail caches stay there no matter what u do.
This is because the album art caches stay inside ur sdcard.
In WALKMAN, if u Download Music Info and checked "Replace Existing Information", ur album arts will also get changed and most of the time changed to the wrong album art. And it just stays there forever no matter how u edit ur mp3's ID Tag.
To remove the album art thumbnail caches,
For Android Music Player
1. Force Close music player
2. Go to /sdcard/Android/data/com.android.providers.media/
3. Delete albumthumbs folder or any other folders
For WALKMAN Music Player
1. Force Close WALKMAN player
2. Go to /sdcard/Android/data/com.sonyericsson.music/files/
3. Delete cache folder
4. Go to /sdcard/Android/data/com.sony.walkman.mediaplayers.wm/files/ (if exist)
5. Delete extprops folder

ya, let me change somehting in 1st post, should just delete every folders u see.
That's why I stopped using Walkman player and jumped to Poweramp.
Walkman always messes up the tags and albums(oh, by the way, Poweramp sound better to me )

A lot of people prefer poweramp, but not me either
The UI just not as awesome as WALKMAN.
No go for me...
I foolishly let this run... and some of my tracks have been "re-tagged" - not within their own file tags, though. I tried all the guidance here and in the other thread and I haven't managed to back this out yet. Any further advice?

what do you mean by re-tagged?
It should revert to the album art in the song's tag

I refer not to the album art but the track title and artist name.
A case in point: I have a copy of "Mandy" by The Spinners - Gracenote has caused this to appear as "Chapter 14at" by Tamora Pierce.
If I copy the file over to my computer and do id3v2 -l on it, it still shows the right details:
id3v1 tag info for 09.Mandy.mp3:
Title : Mandy Artist: The Spinners
Album : An Evening with ... Year: 1969, Genre: Unknown (255)
Comment: Track: 9
09.Mandy.mp3: No ID3v2 tag
There have been other similar changes.
So, where is Walkman picking up the phony details from, and how do I get rid of the phony details?
