Hi all,
I would like to add cd covers to my album, how can I do it?
I have original CDs and I encoded it in MP3 but my gnex don't show me the covers.
How can I add the covers?
Thanks.
if you have the right tags for your song (artist, album name etc) then you can get an app from the market that downloads the covers automatically. i recommend cover art downloader, it gives you the ability to remove covert art if it found the wrong one. There are a lot of these apps on the market, try it out and see what you like

I downloaded cover art, paid for it, I went in settings and selected to write the cover in the ID3 tag.
I can see the cover in the cover art app, but my GNEX doesn't see the cover when I open google music, why?
Use something like media monkey to rip and tag your CD collection.

You can only add album art to local music files in Google Music, or you can do it through the website "music.google.com".
sorry, i thought you were talking about local music. If you are doing cloud music you must change it on the google music website

I'm talking about local music.
Media monkey can also help you clean up your existing collection using tag from web feature. Pulls data and art from amazon I think.

you will need to manage your ID3.
most of the time, mp3 has alot of version ID2, ID3 APE etc etc tags on them, and the player will only choose one to use.
i use mp3tag to clean them, then put on the album art.
works great.

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.

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 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.

Great app...tnx
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.

Why don't you want to embed the folder art to the id3 tags?

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.

I use Mp3Tag and on Android I use Album art grabber which shows the album cover picture only when I'm using custom music apps e.g. CM9 music player ...

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.
I've looked everywhere for an explanation on this and can't find it. Maybe you guys can help me.
Most of my songs have their respected album art but some do not. For some reason Google play picks a random cover for almost all of the songs that don't. In my case it picked a nickel back cover.
How do I make the so gs that do not have a cover just have the default blank cover that Google has?

Ok so under closer inspection. Songs with ACTUAL "Unknown" album show the Google unknown album cover.
But some songs with actual cover art in iTunes (where my Google Music syncs) has a cover art but the same song in Google Play has a ****ty Nickel Back cover instead. I attacted 2 pictures showing an example.

Serves you right for listening to Nickelback
Cover art download from iTunes store (not embedded) won't be copied to your phone. Only covers that you add manually are carried over. At least that's the case with me.
Go to music.google.com and login to your acct
Then when you go to albums or the thing you want to change click the drop down by the picture for the album and select "Edit Album Info" and you can upload a pic you want to use for it. You will then want to sync your Google Play Music thru accounts. Added a pic hope that helps

I've got the same issue, though it defaults to a Daughtry album cover. As much as I hate Nickelback, I think I'd prefer to have that as my default cover instead of Daughtry. Before you all give me crap, I don't have one Daughtry song on my phone, so I have no idea how or why Google decided to use that as my default album cover. And I don't use iTunes either, so I'm totally confused by the whole thing.
Anyone know how to switch the default album cover art to something else? I can't find the image file on my phone.
Had similar issues now fixed, first of all i converted all music to mp3 format, on my laptop using a free mp3 converter i found via google search, uploaded them onto my gnex then downloaded 'cover art downloader' from playstore and payed the miniscule donate fee for full options.
Donate version has extra option to embed album art into mp3's (hence mp3 conversion), auto search for missing covers, any it cant find you can manually find using app, all covers are embedded into songs as they are downloaded.
After doing this go into settings-app settings and clear cache and data from google music (btw this will wipe playlists) then reboot phone. When rebooted open google music and it will reload all music with correct covers in place.
The advantage of doing it this way is your art stays with your music hereafter.
Donate version also has auto cover search option for newly added music. Good luck

Is there a way to have Music recognize the album covers I have within my music album folders?
Or have it display the album cover as selected by an Album Art app such as "Album Art Grabber"?
(I'm only interested in songs on my device, not stored in the cloud)
Get donate version of cover art downloader, it will embed cover art into music mp3 so art stays with songs, you can convert other formats such as itunes m4a to mp3 on a windows computer using a converter if your music isnt all in mp3 format.
Once the cover art downloader has done its job (may take a while if music collection is large) and you have used app to manually find and set any covers the auto search function couldnt find, do the following to reset cover art in google music:
Go into settings-apps and select google play music app.
Delete cache and data.
Be aware this will wipe any custom playlists u already made, dunno how to save them.
Reboot phone now.
Once phone has rebooted start google music app and give it a short while as music plus covers is reloaded, now you should have all your art in place and portable with your music.
If you havent tried it yet there is a mod in gnex themes and apps forum for beatslouder for nexus, in flashable zip form, makes huge difference to sound quality, i used nexuslouder V6 beta zip as am on aospa rom.
