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.

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.
I used es file explorer to rename the songs, but don't know how to rename the album or artist info.

Use PC, right click, Properties, Details. Change it from there.
You can edit metadata like Artist, Album, Song, Genre, Age, etc. You can even add an album picture with software like winamp, aimp or Windows media player.
There are many tag editors, you can google it and search for a good one that fits your needs.
I've always used AudioShell for PC.
Lets you right click a song and edit properties directly.
I think he means how to edit those attributes using the phone itself
Well, if you want to edit them using your phone, you can do it in PowerAMP. You can also pick an album cover, but that only works in PowerAMP. For example, if you edit the tags in PowerAMP and then open any other Music Player, it won't show any of the tags you added nor the Album Cover.
Just search mp3 tag editor in the play store

iTag seems to work best for me. Allows you to edit almost all values of the MP3 tags, including album art.
love this app
DroidID3tagger does it all for you with one click
super awesome app. its free in play store

Thank you. It's good. Testing full version of JetAudio and I need this. They should implement id tagging like PowerAMP does.

Download AudioShell, install it on your PC, and do the editing in your PC. Just right click MP3 files and click AudioShell Tab and edit away!
This allows you to edit Title, Artist, Album, Year, Track Number, Genre, and add Album Art.
You can also flash the xperia s music player and do all the editing on the music player
Use a program such as Autoshell or Mp3tag. I'm unsure can you do it on your android phone but it is likely that you can.

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.

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.
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.
