Sometimes when I transfer a music folder containing an album to my arc, the music player divides the album in two. I have checked the music's mp3 tag and everything seems ok. It's really annoying. I'm using 2.3.3. Anyone is having this problem ??

Yes I have this problem as well also using 2.3.3 I tried making sure they all have the same art then restarted never worked but. It just splits my albums into 2 with the exact same name not all but quite a few.

I just got the tough pro 2 with TFHD and I've been trying to work on this problem all day.
I have all my music inside one folder on my SD card called "Music" all the album artwork is embedded into the MP3.
When the touchflo sees the music it takes a random album artwork from one of my songs, AND MAKES IT THE SAME FOR ALL. Its driving me nuts! Every song in my library has the same album artwork. At this point I just want to not even use the album artwork because its so frustrating.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I deleted the HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng file, and that still didnt work.
Thanks!

Try deleting all your music, doing a soft reset and then re-import your music via windows media player. Update your library via windows media player on the TP2, one more soft reset and then it should work. It helped me fix the problem.

Mate, did the same thing on mine.
The Tab Player is really a piece o junk in comparison to say, Nitrogen!
I even deleted the cache on mine after having the same issue, it then happily picked another singular album cover and ran that onto everything again. I do not think you should HAVE to run a playlist through Media Player to work properly, this is an HTC issue and with luck, may get dealt with on the WM 6.5 update.
In the meantime, use Nitrogen, truckloads beter than the TAB and Media Player and it is well supported, essentially free and WORKS really well on TP2.

I did everything and it still didnt work so here was my fix:
I set iTunes to manage my music, then dragged all my music into iTunes. Once the music made a copy into my library, I went into my Itunes music folder and all my music was in folders that corresponded to artist, and album.
Then I dragged all these folders and music into my phone and the album art worked correctly because each album had its own folder with an image.
Interesting. That is how my music is organized (wmp can organize your music files too) and I haven't had that problem so that must be the trick.
The title says it all.
Opening the MP3s in any Windows MP3 player show the album pictures.
Any idea why the original music player in the Desire doesn't do it?
Rooted Desire with R5 rom from Modaco.
I've got a similar issue. I can see 90% of my album art but some are missing despite being present in the folder I've put on my desire!
-------------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire
I had this. I even tried embedding album art in the mp3 and making sure there was a jpg in the same directory. However, the HTC app simply refused to use some no matter what I did.
The solution? I downloaded MixZing from the marketplace. I liked it so much, I upgraded to the non-Ad version.
I couldn't persuade my Desire either.
I embedded all artworks directly into mp3, deleted the albumthumbs directory several times... no luck.
But what is more annoying is that for some mp3s it displays the completely wrong artwork. I opened the mp3 in Winamp, WMP - the artwork is correct. When I play it in Desire the artwork shown is completely different.
PS: Meridian behaves the same way.
Have you tried deleting all the files in the /sd card/albumthumbs folder and rebooting your phone?
I had this issue when I first got the phone, I managed to fix it by clearing out the tags of each album and filling them again, took multiple attempts though.

this worked for me too.
It does work but only if you never add more music. I always seem to get problems with new mp3s added.
And I never understood where does it take the incorrect artwork from.
clear data at Media Store! Thats works fine!
Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Media Storage
then reboot the device...
xdad, your solution works, thanks!
Hi all!
For some reason when I am using the stock Tw music player all my album covers are there but when I switch to Poweramp/Play Music/Doubletwist Player about 50% (approx) disappear...anyone know if I have to create/move my music from my music folder into another folder? I'm not sure why this is happening..
Forgive my perfectionist, please
Nothing wrong with having a perfect album, google search "mp3tag", its a windows app that applies the ablum cover and into to the track. I believe its a free program.
Sent from my Captivate Glide via Cup & String.
What is a "directory"? When I connect my phone and try and navigate to a directory in mp3tag there are none that show up.
EDIT:
Got that working, how do you do different album covers per song? I accidentally put Chris Brown's Fortune on all of mine...
i believe you can select them individualy. havent used the app in a while.
Alright so now here's the problem. I'm going to use Google Play Music but I got my songs off of iTunes so I can't really make a playlist unless i do it manually, is this the only way now?
No idea, i use amazon music. I would asume manually.

I installed ICS 4.0.4 .431 (LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic World Greece) a few days ago on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, It works smooth and nice, except a few small drawbacks, or is it?
First of, The led doesn't seem to be working other than when I turn on the phone or put it on charge.
It doesn't light up when I get sms/mms, facebook, gmail or any other notification. I have checked the settings in every one of these apps to see if I have missed anything, but no. everything is correct in settings. Am I missing something, or is the led not working on 4.0.4 ?
second - "music library empty" ??? WinAMP worked fine on 4.0.3. WinAMP does not work on 4.0.4. All I get is "music library empty". PowerAMP works great. But in PowerAMP I can choose music-directory. Also in "settings when I want to choose a ringtone (MP3) it also say "music library empty". Also this worked fine in 4.0.3. What am I missing ? What am I doing wrong? Both LED and WinAMP worked on 4.0.3 but not on 4.0.4
Anyone else experiencced this "problem" ?!?
Where does 4.0.4 expect to find the music-files? I have my music-files on the sd-card in a directory named "music".
The LED issue is a known problem in the ICS 4.0.4 update. There are talks about an update coming which would fix this problem.
And I can't really help you out with your music issue. I use the stock music app and I have no problems. Uh, try clearing cache and data for WinAmp.

I can't use stock music player due to the issue "music library empty". Not really sure what's causing it.
I thought about wiping cache and dalvik, but since I came from a fresh install, then I didn't bother with that.
Thank you for the info on the LED issue
Go to Settings -> Apps. Find the Music app under ALL. Then wipe data and cache.
Hope it works.

I tried. It didn't do any good.
I wonder what it could be, It worked on 4.0.3 I haven't changed anything besides upgrading to 4.0.4
Has no one else experienced "music library empty" in stock music player ?

I have the exactly same problem tried everything but music is there and is not there also the same happens with old photos i cannot see them anymore on the gallery they are on sd but not on gallery
Check if you have a .nomedia file in your music folder.
It prevents android from looking for media files in that particular folder. This includes photos, music & videos.
Just delete it and all should be fine.
@daniel090588, the same thing applies to you.

Thanx for helping out
I searched my sd-card for .nomedia files. I found a few, but none in sd-card/music However I found one in sd-card/Android ??? not sure if that one's been there before ?

I just found out that the same goes for me. I can't see pictures in my gallery either. I could see 4 pictures. Those four I have taken since I installed this 4.0.4 but none of the other pictures. I searched for them on my SD and they are ALL in the same directory SD/DCIM/100ANDRO but still only able to see the last four pictures taken. However I can see them ALL when I use "QuickPic" A great app to view all your pictures with.
I did a reset on my phone now. Just to see if that helped, and it did.
Now I can see music in stock music player. Also my stock photo gallery is working.
I guess the problem I had came from my titanium backup restore.
I wonder what it could have been ?
Thanks it works

Thanks! It worked for me (CM 7.2 - HTC Chacha). I deleted all the .nomedia files and .nomedia folders.
Also I had to delete them twice.
Go to settings, applications, all
Find the Media Storage app, and clear data.
This deletes everything! artists, albums, playlists. (data still on card)
Plug in, mount usb. Eject. Go back into music, and wait (a lot if you have more than a few tracks.)
Note: If the music app shows no changes, try force stopping the Media Storage app. The app showed no cache or data to clear, but force stopping it then opening the Music app worked for me.

I had the same problem of media not showing in walkman music app in my Xperia P. I deleted the .nomedia directory and restarted the "media storage" app from the settings and it worked.
hi,
strange problem in my new g3.
i use ID3 tags to embed my album art in all of my mp3 files.
they arranged in one folder.
when i use power-amp it shows correctly every song with it's own album art BUT strangely the G3 stock music player is not showing the album art at all or (in some folders) show a particular album art of one file located in that folder (its not even the first one ??)
i also checked the files with the stock file manager app that also shows the mismatched album art just like in the stock music player.
any idea ?
Up
Do the songs have album title information? If not, android will replace the missing album title with the directory name these songs are located in.
Further more, some players use album arts from android database (use this to change album arts, songs need album title) or from the file itself (no album title needed)

Sadly its general problem of Android and most of the devices have same disturbing issue. It was on my Gi5510 and still on my G3. Poweramp shows correct if any artwork attached. For now there is no solution seems like but will research this. This issue is really disappointing, 'cause i like to use stock music player rather than 3rd party apps but its not good when other songs artworks attached to every track. If anyone will found a solution please reply this. I will subscribe this thread. +1 for OP.

I used mp3 tag to embed album art for my music and had no problem with it showing up in my music. The only issue was it wouldn't show up if the image was larger than 4mb, but I doubt that's the case for you guys lol. Have you guys used mp3 tag? If not then use it, if you have then could you elaborate a bit more, because I think it may be fixable.
