Hi Guys
Noticed yesterday a strange behavior with the music player. My mp3s have album artwork, and they are classified per "genre". so for example "pop", "rock", "soft", etc.
I noticed that the player will pick up one artwork from each genre and use it for all the mp3 files in that genre. So for example if genre "rock" has 10 songs for different singers, it will take the artwork from one singer and every song in that genre will show the same artwork when playing it !!!!!!!
i have checked the album artwork of every song and it is correct
Has anyone come across this before ? Thanks
Try resyncing your media, I think in the market there's an app called resync or might be called rescan. Worth a shot.

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.
My Evo refuses to display the albums for my music.
All my music is correctly tagged with tab and Rename.
I have essentially coppied all my music over from my MP3 player (where everything displays fine) onto my phone.
Here is the issue when i go to the 'Albums" selection in the music player it displays one album name for every song of that album.
For example. if I have an album with 13 songs in it it will show me 13 different selections with the name of the album as opposed to one selection that I can select and have all 13 songs show up.
This problem happens on Winamp as well as the stock player.
What is my problem?

If it happens with more than one player, then likely your problem is the id3 tags on the mp3s.
Thanks for the reply but I am meticulous with my tags. I have used these same songs on probably 4 devices in the last four years (Sandisk Sansa, 2x Ainol V9000HDA, Palm Pre) and they always displayed fine.
Something else is amiss.
It doesn't make sense for it to display the same album name over a dozen times for each album.
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!
Does anyone know if the stock music app is supposed to read album art from a file in the same directory as the music files? E.g. a folder.jpg.
It's not doing that for me... Or I'm doing it wrong
Thx
There are much better music players out there. My personal favorite has always been playerpro.
I've liked Music Player (Remix) since the original webOS days!
Anyone else having issues with the sorting order for songs with the OP3's stock music player? When I'm browsing individual albums, it sorts the songs in the complete wrong order.
