Hi together!
I am looking for the folder, where gacenote copies its data to.
Can anybody help me out there?
EDIT: FOUND IT! It's in android/data/com.htc.album
me too! and im also looking for the folder where the sense music player keeps its data like the playlist.
Sorry to bring this old thread up again, but I was searching for the files gracenote is downloading automatically, and didn't find any answer. Problem is, that once (wrong) album art is downloaded, it can't be removed by re-syncing music to phone again.
I solved this by deleting wrong album art from
Code:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.htc.musicenhancer/files
This made my mp3-included covers visible again (works at least for HTC music player on HTC One M7 / Sense 5)

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.
It s been very difficult for me to add the album arts to the HTC music player..
But it's done
I write this post if someone else is concerned by this issue, juste do this:
- I found that it's hard for the player to read the "Albumart.jpg" file in the directory so you will have to add the picture in the tags of the mp3 (media monkey is very good for that)
- The most important: Even with the previous step the pictures didn't appear.. I found the solution by chance..
If you want your pictures to appear you have to rename in the directory Music>Artist>Album the album names with a name different from the name of the album in your mp3 tags.
I really can't understand that but anyway it works!
OMG Thank You!! works on HTC Evo
I use MediaMonkey too and have the album art embedded in the tag rather than as a separate file. I just copied everything over manually using explorer and all the art work showed up immediately - maybe I just got lucky....
Just tried this with some albums where the art wouldn't show up and sure enough, it works. Why on earth does it rely on the directory name to match the tag? Madness

I have all my artworks embedded directly in mp3 files and all of them are i one big directory called Music.
I'm not sure how can I achieve correct (or any) artwork to be shown....
the htc player won't recognize any changes unless you rename the folder as you have already found. An easier solution is to go into settings - manage applications - media storage - clear data. This will wipe the media database. Reboot your phone. Open music app - be patient while the database is rebuilt.
The only reason why i am using the HTC Music App is because of its integration with the lock screen.. that feature has got me by the balls, because everything else of the app suck!
No good way to search by folder, bad album art management!
Horrible in my opinion: if you bunch up all your music together in a single directory it work pick up correct album art, u can't put it in any directory it must be in sdcard\media directory, you must sort by album name .. .too many limitations! not everyone sorts their music colection by album names and create album names for every song! Jeez! Fix it HTC!
Album Art display workaround
For me non of the solutions worked on HTC Inspire - very frustrating in addition to other crap constantly starting like Facebook - which I hate etc.
But I connected the phone to PC and browsed on the SDCard for Android/data/com.android.providers.media and I deleted the whole folder. After that all album arts are visible again in both players HTC and winamp. Now I have to find the solution for the disappearing playlists
The title says it all.
Opening the MP3s in any Windows MP3 player show the album pictures.
Any idea why the original music player in the Desire doesn't do it?
Rooted Desire with R5 rom from Modaco.
I've got a similar issue. I can see 90% of my album art but some are missing despite being present in the folder I've put on my desire!
-------------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire
I had this. I even tried embedding album art in the mp3 and making sure there was a jpg in the same directory. However, the HTC app simply refused to use some no matter what I did.
The solution? I downloaded MixZing from the marketplace. I liked it so much, I upgraded to the non-Ad version.
I couldn't persuade my Desire either.
I embedded all artworks directly into mp3, deleted the albumthumbs directory several times... no luck.
But what is more annoying is that for some mp3s it displays the completely wrong artwork. I opened the mp3 in Winamp, WMP - the artwork is correct. When I play it in Desire the artwork shown is completely different.
PS: Meridian behaves the same way.
Have you tried deleting all the files in the /sd card/albumthumbs folder and rebooting your phone?
I had this issue when I first got the phone, I managed to fix it by clearing out the tags of each album and filling them again, took multiple attempts though.

this worked for me too.
It does work but only if you never add more music. I always seem to get problems with new mp3s added.
And I never understood where does it take the incorrect artwork from.
clear data at Media Store! Thats works fine!
Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Media Storage
then reboot the device...
xdad, your solution works, thanks!
Morning all
I've had a look at the search function but nothing seems to answer my question
After coming from the HD2 with flawless sync'ing with WM12 i now have a better phone that won't sync at all with windows media player. Nothing appears at all in the WM12 windows when i am connected in Disk drive mode or HTC sync.
I have tried media monkey but have all my music sorted via WM12. does anyone know how its possible to sort it or am i flogging a dead horse?
thanks
I'm stealing your thread here a bit. I wonder how you organize your music to get the album art to show up.
On my old Touch Diamond 2 I put the music on my storage card like this (Storage card\music\artist\album), in every album I had the files included in the album and a album art named Folder.jpg, HTC music player then made it's own album art based on the ones I put and scaled them. Is it the same on the Desire?
my albums that are organised off WM12 which either get the album art manually when i drag and drop it or they download auto appear in the Desire however some don't no idea why and i have given up trying. The desire seems to arrange its music is singles even for albums so you end up with loads of folders and 1 file inside instead of 1 artist and then the albums for them like in the HD2.
But still i do require an answer for WM12 if anyone knows
windows mobile is made to sync with wmp12 obviously android isnt, the htc music player can read wmp id3 tags so as long as you music is organised in wmp12, just copy the albums to your sd card and all the album art and track names should show up the same, it does for me anyway

i organise my music like /sdcard/my documents/music and just drop the folder with indervidual albums into the music folder, like on my pc, and it all works sweet for me also i dont put any album art in, as thats included in the id3 tag
whats the way that you get playlists onto the desire quicker than making them on the phone its self?
i'm assuming that if i make the playlist via windows then drop it onto the phone it won't work due to the files addresses pointing to PC directories.
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.
