It seems that if I have two songs from separate albums but with the same album title, the album art gets confused. In this case, I have Enrique Iglesias' Escape along with Journey's Escape, with the album art for Journey showing up as the album art from Enrique Iglesias. All album art is embedded directly into the Mp3s.
What did I do wrong?

Nothing. Android has had huge album art issues all along. I'm happy that the GNex is not exhibiting the plague of album art issues it used to have. This is small potatoes compared to the mess it was on my Nexus S.

That's true. My Milestone would ignore punctuation, like full stops, from the album art title. e.g. F.A.M.E. would be confused with The Fame Monster. What the hell?
So there's nothing I can do about this?

How does the HTC Album art work exactly? I've ripped a bunch of music to my HDD and transfered them to my phone. I've tried leaving them untitled after they're ripped and HTC doesn't load the album art. I've tried renaming them and none of them will work. What am I doing wrong?
I've even tried all the Update Song options.

You could try using iTunes or Windows Media Player to attach album art to your music. Personally, I use itunes because it has a "get album artwork" feature (right click the song title). That, and I have an iPhone. Hope that helps.
Just why is this happening? Some foreign songs as well as local (Original Pilipino Music) show the wrong album art. For example, a local song shows album art of Celine Dion's ALL THE WAY album. Help!
Get PlayerPRO,the song quality is way higher than PAMP and there is DSP pack (DOLBY SOUND PLUGIN!) for PPro,skins,BEAUTIFUL ui,and AUTOMATIC album art!
I had both,and believe me.Player PRO > popular PowerAMP

There is no difference between the two in sound quality; the DSP pack is nothing but extra codecs and effects (Dolby Sound alters the sound into something else then what was originally recorded. It's just a special effect). UI is personal preference and power amp has always had automatic album art.
If you're having problems with album art in power amp check your settings. There's a check box to download album art, over ride album art in the ID3 tag, and you can delete your album art cache if there are one that are wrong.
If you're still having issues with album art try MP3 Tagger Pro: https://market.android.com/details?id=de.mobile.pro&feature=search_result The easy album art finder will automatically scan all your music and shows you albums that are missing art. It will prompt you with a gallery type view where you can hand pick the album art, starting with the most relevant search results it finds. Most times the first result is correct but every once in awhile I have to go with the second or third. This is the problem with most automatic album art, they always go with the first result which isn't always correct.
thanks for the answer pal!
but why is it also happening with the stock Music Player? I'd like to go with stock at the moment...
but at least post something useful and not some random posts that are nothing but empty nutshell.. come on there's like thousands of threads here.. make yourself useful!
That's a pretty liberal use of the word! This stuff is garbage! I've been reading every post I can find on both the internet and these forums, to no avail. The problem is some of my albums have REALLY poor quality artwork. I mean god awful, looks like it's a thumbnail blown up to fit on a big screen bad. Now I have tried everything I can find to fix this. I've used Album Art Grabbers. I've cleared the data on Google Player. I've even manually moved the MP3s in question onto my computer, used my Meta-Tag Editor to FORCE them to use High-rez artwork by directly encoding it into the files themselves. But no matter what I do, nothing works. When I clear the data for google player(forcing it to re-build my library) at first my new high-rez images are there. But the spinning circle indicating Google isn't done f**king with me is still going. When it stops, my shiny new album artwork has once again been replaced by garbage!
Anyone else severely frustrated by this? I'm seriously pissed. Album art, it's one of the easiest things in the world to manage! hundreds of free players do it just fine. But the all-mighty Google can't get it right? Am I missing something or are we doomed to a life of high rez screen + Album art from 1992?
No one?
I do not have this problem. Try going to the web interface, and changing the album art on the edit album option.
Yeah my Google music purchases look great, however the ones media monkey pulled in look like garbage.

Mine looked really bad in Google Music when I first opened it, but after the update pulled for the app on day 2 they looked fine.
Mine look awful too! Either they are blown up and are EXTREMELY pixelated or its the wrong album cover! I have my music manager set to upload music from my iTunes and all of my iTunes music has HQ Album Art and are accurate. Anyone know why it does this?
I had a huge problem with artwork, I ended up having to manually enter all of my artwork on iTunes. None of the artwork iTunes pulled for me stuck to the files. It was a tedious process but works great now.
I web searched each album that had poor res art and downloaded at least 400px art and tagged it to the albums with Media Monkey. Real pain at first, but once done all look great.
For some reason all my songs have the same album art..
Its sooooo annoying..
I've tried flashing different roms (currently I'm using the JoyOs).. but this problem exists everywhere..!!
I've attached a screenshot.. Out of the 5 albums 4 have the same album art..!
Please help guys..! :fingers-crossed:
use a app to get album art
my wildfire also had this problem. I had to manually change the wrong album arts. there is an app called ITag, that's what I used.
I think when we have photo(s) in the folder that contains those songs, media library mistake them for album arts and apply that image to all or some songs In that folder.
hope this Info helps

I use to get this with most cm7 based roms, as suggested above use app that can grab album art, or try a music player winamp or poweramp (others probably have same feature) as it searches the web for the correct album art and Presto! No more barbie girl on your Avenge sevenfold albums
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.
