is there a way to fix this ? or anything spefic that i can do ??
Thanks in advance.
You will meed to go into settings > apps > music app and wipe data/cache. Your new album art will now show.

Hi, I'm searching a music widget for the nexus which works with the standard music player and can show album art.
Pure Music Widget unfortunately doesn't (yet), searching several threads and the market didn't help.
Thanks for some tips.
A
bumo in case anyone else know- i am pretty sure there used to be one... need to remember it... anyone?
****edit**** Phantom music control used to work- https://market.android.com/details?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget&feature=search_result not sure if it still does.
The widgets that come with the iSyncr app work with the Google Music app and can show album art. Only issue I've noticed is that the widgets seem to be sensitive to how the album art picture is actually attached/embedded in the music file. Most of my MP3s show the album art just fine but there are several that have album art and the iSyncr widgets can't show the album art for some reason.
These are the only widgets I could find that work fairly well with the Google Music app. I tried several others but none of them worked as well as the iSyncr ones. (And it was luck that I discovered these because I use iSyncr to sync playlists from iTunes to my Galaxy Nexus, so the widgets were already on my phone).
Would be awesome if the Pure Music dev could get his Pure Music widget to work with Google Music but he's posted that he can't do it until Google releases the necessary APIs, so that may not ever happen.
Just found out tonight that Pure Music Widget got an update (almost 2 weeks ago, now) that makes it compatible with ICS/Google Music app.
Very good news, IMHO!
but still it dont work with google music cloud service. I cant find any widget that works with the cloud album art.....

Yes, and I'm sorry to say that this situation is unlikely to change. Everything I've read since the Google Music service started has indicated that this is Google's fault; they haven't released the API for the Google Music service and this prevents devs from being able to add in this functionality.
So it's Google's fault, not the devs of the various Android music apps.

Try a different Music Player
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/01/17/cyanogenmod-9-music-player-released-for-download/#more-58688
this is the cyanogenmod 9 music player and well, it is still in beta.
However, it's very much like the actual Google Music app, but I think that this one is slightly better. The 4x2 widget for this app also shows the album art as well.

+1 this.
all the widgets, 4x1, 4x2, 3x1, and even 1x1 have album art. CM9 Music is a really nice improvement on the stock music app. if you are into the transparent look, you can also get a version with transparent widgets over in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21843241#post21843241
i don't know if this is normal of not - when i use google play (downloaded from play store) and the album cover pic doesn't change. if it switch between artists (different "folder") it will change, but if i have 1 artist with like multiple albums it won't change album picture. and yes i'm sure the song has an album art attached
refer to sig for my phone specs

Yes, it is normal. This means, that the music files (MP3, M4A, 3GP, WMA etc. ) have not got the albumart saved in the binary...
Just ignore it
how do i fix it?
There is no way to "fix" it... Just leave it as it is

i would like a fix, i want the album cover to change
You can add or edit album art for your music on the Google Play Music "play.google.com/music/listen". There is a small arrow to the right of each album and track that will bring up a pop-up menu when clicked on. Just select edit, change album art, and upload your new art.
I have noticed that sometimes the album art is slow to update when I'm listening to music and my phone is getting a week signal. It may take 20 seconds or more to update.

again, i'm not trying to add or edit. there already is album art on each individual song. the problem is google play is not updating and changing when there are different albums in like 1 artist

Have you tried resetting your phone to clear out the cache?

I have the same question.
all my mp3s have album arts, but none of them show up.
a solution would be nice.
Browse Play Store for "Album Art Grabber", run the app, in the interface choice "clear", yes, "clear", it will clear old album art database of the Google Play Music, then start Google Play Music, it will show new album art of the songs.
I had a similar problem a while back, you have to use the internet and go to Google play music and change the pictures in there, then they get updated withing the music app.

OK so I'm getting kinda cheesed off with Google play music and the album art displayed. So I got 3 id3 apps, audiotagger 4.0.0, itag 1.50, and pimp my music 1.49. I'm trying to get a decent high resolution album art to stick on my MP3 albums. Iv used all 3 to try to remove any album art that's seems to be stuck to the MP3 files and then used all 3 to set the album art I want either from searching on the internet or select a picture saved to my gallery. I even went as far as deleting some 1156 pictures of the same low res album art which keeps reappearing. So for a while Google play music will show the high res album art and its great but after a while it goes back to low resolution album art which is all pixilated and stuff.
So anyone know how this could be sorted out?

I was able to do it by modifying the cover art from my PC. Opened Play in my web browser and went to My Music. Then picked the album and modified the album info. It let me change to a better pic. So far, the higher-res pics seem to have stuck. Hope they don't spontaneously revert.

OK great album seems to be sticking now, that particular album I got up on Google play music server and on my device.
I just can't get id3 genre tag to change for the on device music. I did already try with Google play music and its showing correct for what's 'in the cloud' but on device copy won't change, its being a little bastard. I tried the same 3 apps as mentioned before. Any ideas? Maybe they don't work so well with jelly bean?

I deleted the copy from my device and just downloaded it from Google play server and all is well. I get ocd about my music lol

I am using stock ICS 4.0.4 (updated to latest), and i am facing problem with album art. I have added to half of my songs on phone album art today (which didn't have any album art), and phone still doesn't recognize them. I tried clearing cache and app data, and deleting and re-copying music and still nothing. Has anyone had simmilar problem?
Thanx in advance!
WARNING: Backup all things that you want: contacts, apps etc.
If you have a root + CWM you can do this:
1. Wipe data/factory reset (which clears all data and resets your phone back to default, this option can be found in the phone without root or CWM)
2. Wipe cache partition (formats the cache, which is like a folder that stores information & data of apps etc.)
(OPTIONAL) Wipe dalvik cache
if you're using iTunes and adding album art from that/or from a folder and adding album art to the music via properties then you should have no problem moving the music into your SD card > music.
Actually i lost root when i updated to 587, but after that i had some problems cause i have removed a lot of stock apps, and it wasn't working properly so i did factory reset. Yesterday i used nice program mp3tag (freeware), and added album art on pretty much every song. I cleared app data in settings>apps and it did manage to read some of the tags, but much of them are just same tag that doesn't fit. (and it is even more anoying than no album art)
It wasnt helpful but thanx anyway, maybe someone else will know whats going on...
Same problem here. Artworks disappear. You should reboot your phone or remove ur music folder, reboot then copy it again by PC. I tried and it worked sometimes.

I have always had problems with album art with the android music player even on my previous phone (htc wildfire). I purchased the app mixzing from the playstore and this works brilliantly. I also tried tagging all the individual tracks using mp3tag but this only worked sometimes. I am currently using a modified stock Rom which uses the walkman player from the Xperia s. This seems to work much better with the individually tagged tracks but still has problems with albumart inside folders.
Hope this is of some help.

Actually that with deleting and re-copying solution is the best for me, cause after that it managed to read some more album arts, but still many are left bad. I did found that many people are having same problem and that there is no good solution to this, its just the shi**y player...
album art loads sometimes without any problem sometime i have to click the like icon on the player then the album art comes up.
Dont know weather this is aknown bug or only with me?
This may be unrelated entirely, but when I installed the MusicBox mod this morning, Google Play Music started having issues...but it was force closing, not having album art issues. Like I said, may be unrelated (and probably is) but thought I'd let you know if you have installed MusicBox recently.

Try using PowerAmp or the stock music player.
Musicbox wont work with PA but u can enable beats.
Anyway try some AOSP Rom if u want to play with Enhancers.

Well, the only reason that I have been sticking with Google Play Music is because I have all of my music online (and can manage it online), so I do not have to take up valuable storage room on my SD Card with music files. Is there another music player out there that will utilize my collection on Play Music other than Google's?
