Hi ..
Just changed from HTC Incredible S to One X. 1 of the first thing that I notice was my mp3 covers (album art).
Using my Incredible S, the phone will display each individual mp3's cover correctly.
After using One X, I realize the cover no longer display according to each mp3's individual cover but instead using the general cover.
I changed some information on the mp3 and found that One X identifies the mp3 covers through the "album" field's information in the mp3 file.
A little troublesome for me to update the album field for each mp3 just so that One X can display the correct covers.
Anyone had this trouble and found a way to resolve this? All I want is for the phone to display the correct cover tagged to each mp3.
Many thanks ..
Have you tried updating the art work on the one X itself (menu, update artwork), you can always revert back to the original if you want. I did this as some of my tags were low res and looked terrible but my tags all displayed properly to start with. If it makes a difference I always tag artwork to my tracks individually on pc using media monkey before adding them to my phone.

Hi,
i was hoping one of the devs or someone equelly as talented might look at this and see a easy fix , ive tryed searching and posting in the relevant rom threads but nothing.
Ok at first i thought it was a issue within the roms however after checking my m8s stock desire hd today i noticed his did the same .... which leads me to belive htc have changed something and made it slightly gay.
The issue with the stock music player htc provide, if i go into the player then goto my albums the desire will list your albums with covers (it fits 9 albums + covers to screen) however if i scroll down the list the covers do not appear to be cached.
IE if i scroll 2 / 9 albums the covers will not load untill the album is displayed on screen if i scroll to the bottom of the album list the albums with covers will all load after approx 3 / 4 seconds. Ok problem sorted you would think as you got all your album covers loaded now, however if i close the music player and go in again its the same thing.
The music player did not perform like this on normal desire or custom roms , if i goto my albums on desire roms / and or stock they are pre cached no loading i can scoll down list there all there (covers). If i quit program go back into the music player all the album covers are there , if i was to do this on a desire HD stock or custom it will load the covers each time you enter the music program , i presume this should be a easy problem to fix but then what i do know , hence why im asking if anyone can look at this please

Hello people
I was putting some music on Galaxy W, but was trying to do the following: Put a song and the Kies edited it by putting a picture of her music album.
But the first song I put is in accordance with the image I chose for her, but all others are left with the image I chose for the first song.
For example, the first song I put on the phone is Mettallica, get a picture album using Kies and put it on the phone. All other songs that put the mobile phone will also get the same image that I put to the music of Mettallica.
Someone can tell me why, if we can resolve this problem, there is a Player dare better?
Hi,
I don't use Kies but had a similar problem with broken album covers and what I found out is that:
At least mp3 files need to be tagged complying with the ID3v2.3 revision, this includes covers.
If a mp3 file has no cover embedded it seems to show the cover of the file before that one (although sometimes it also shows a predefined cover place holder of the music player)
What solved this for me is to open the file in question (attach a picture as front cover if necessary) and to save the tags as ID3v2.3. (E.g. with mp3tag or foobar.)
Try this app..available in market and its free..

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?

EDIT:
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

I've been using winamp on my HTC sensation with no issues at all. I've just upgrade to the one x and suddenly winamp now doesn't file my music alphabetically.
When I'm choosing music I tend to select it by looking through the artist tab, I've noticed that if I add a new album via USB instead of placing it alphabetically in the list it just dumps it at the beginning.
Has anyone else had this issue, and is there a solution to it?
Cheers in advance

Hi everyone,
Bought HTC One X last week, so I'm pretty new with this device, but it's not my first HTC Android device
When I drag & drop my music to my phone, the HTC Music app doesn't display my songs in the correct order. On iTunes everything is correct and it does display the songs in correct order (I know that iTunes is very sensitive with those ID-tags).
The weird thing is, those songs were displayed correctly on my previous phone (Desire HD with Sense 3.0).
So does someone know how the new HTC Music app orders the music list?
Thanks in advance
