Guys I'm having a big problem now. I don't know why after I cleared the Media Storage menu (Applications > Manage applications > Media Storage) all my album arts (including album arts of the default preinstalled free songs) disappeared!
Now even if I add other songs from my PC (those which are already tagged by my iTunes and do show the album arts in my PC) no long show any album arts in my Desire. It seems like my Desire is unable to "scan" or "detect" the image of the album art. If my songs are tagged wrongly then why those preinstalled free songs also don't show any album arts.
I tried to add the album art manually using Cover Art Downloader application but still no album art comes out for the song. The album art is not displayed beside the song title in the application. Clueless.
Help!

Could some1 pls explain how album art works on Gnex/ICS?
I have some folders with mp3s given by a friend which have a jpg into every folder, and when playing a song from that folder the album cover is displayed correctly, while I have other folders created by me with so jpg at all, still when playing songs for some of them I do see the album art, and for a few is compltetely wrong.
I have tried deleteing cache and data of music app, with no results at all.
thanks
Album art always either loads from a .jpg within a directory or is already attached to the files ID3 tag. (FYI this is how its been for a very long time now)
Pick a decent ID3 tag editor or use iTunes or Winamp and edit it and you should see the album cover in there.
Hi all, well i had a "problem" the thing its i downloaded all album art for my music (some already had the album) but anyways i use download all,, and works well was fine displaying the music on widget and Lockscreen, the problem was when i did a backup and then i went to other rom, and then restore my backup, all was ok BUT the album art arent showing anymore on Lockscreen and widget,if i "click" over the song i had the attached album art but i need to use:
update album art
and the revert album art (from htc music menu)
after doing this (removing the album) all its ok the album attached its working well.

delete data from media storage under the tab "all apps".
reboot, open music player and wait some minutes, til the player rescans the album art.

Hi, I am having the same problem after moving to a new ROM, tried clearing all sort of folders, the update seem to run but does not sense the songs in my SD card. I tried looking for the "all apps" tab but can you tell me where exactly to locate this. I am on Elegancia Sense 4.1 v1.0.0 ROM
Thanks in advance.
Is there an app/ or a way I can see my album art image in the homescreen background when I'm playing my music? with the factory music player, it shows a portion size of the album art. but i would like it to cover the entire background. any ideas?
While I do like to stare at album art while my music is playing, it bothers me how it shows up in the Gallery, not to mention it increases the load time.
I have attempted already to give the folders a .originalthefolder name as well as the files .originalthefilename prefix, but while this works, it makes the album art dissapear in Poweramp and every other music application as well.
Is there a workaround for this without me having to prefix them with a . I have alot of music so embedding it is an option, but would take me a very long time, and some of my albums have two album arts for different disks.
How can I get album art for my music collection in mtcmusic? In poweramp I simply need to hold down on the song and it'll download/display options for album art. I like poweramp but really enjoy the way mtcmusic "integrates" with the home screen (shuts down radio to switch to music and vice versa, but won't if your using power-amp instead of mtcmusic)
thanks

Tasker and a rooted HU can allow any music app to shut off the radio.

I really like Jack's Music Widget, lets you integrate just pure album art to a home screen.

Thank you very much for splending answer!
But my HU Joying (rooted MalayskROM) has same issue.
Do I need any customize after activated Xposed mtc?

I do not understand. Xposed is not used. The music widget may not work with mtcmusic.
I too would prefer to use the built in app if I could work our how to get the Album art to display. I have a 4GB stick full of various albums, they have all been ID3 tagged and have had album art applied through Windows Media player. You can check this by finding the file in its folder, when you click the track the album art should appear in the details pane on the right.
Plus I also dropped a JPEG of the album art into each album folder. Now when I play songs through the Native app some show album art and some don't, but I can't figure out the difference between the ones that do and ones that don't!

Did you ever figure it out?

No!, I have no idea what's going on but I have noticed something else. EVERY album displays album art on the widget on the home screen.
To clarify, if I go into the music app and start playing an album that is not displaying album art. I hit the home button and it does display the art on the widget.
So now I'm even more confused!

@scatamonky, I use Mp3Tag to apply all my cover arts and my OEM player shows the covers always, give it a try make couple mp3's with cover art and see if it shows: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
By jove Reptile I think you've cracked it. I downloaded the MP3 Tag editor and the albums that don't show album art in the player do not have anything showing up and the ones that do....do!
I was using Windows media Player and it was clearly telling me lies.
Thanks !!!
I am glad it helped show your problem :good:
Tested and Working! Using the MP3 Tag editor highlighted by Reptile I now have album art displaying for every album I have. Which is about 19GB worth so far.!!!!
For anyone else experiencing this issue, do not trust Windows Media Player to add your art. If I opened folders on my PC and clicked on a song it would show album art in the details pane on the right but still NOT show art in the car!
Using the MP3 Tag editor I was able to see that WMP only seems to associate art with a file as long as its on the same PC, as soon as you take that file away to another player the art is gone.
This was frying my noodle for a long time so I'm really happy to have it resolved at last!!!
