Hi all, well i had a "problem" the thing its i downloaded all album art for my music (some already had the album) but anyways i use download all,, and works well was fine displaying the music on widget and Lockscreen, the problem was when i did a backup and then i went to other rom, and then restore my backup, all was ok BUT the album art arent showing anymore on Lockscreen and widget,if i "click" over the song i had the attached album art but i need to use:
update album art
and the revert album art (from htc music menu)
after doing this (removing the album) all its ok the album attached its working well.

delete data from media storage under the tab "all apps".
reboot, open music player and wait some minutes, til the player rescans the album art.

Hi, I am having the same problem after moving to a new ROM, tried clearing all sort of folders, the update seem to run but does not sense the songs in my SD card. I tried looking for the "all apps" tab but can you tell me where exactly to locate this. I am on Elegancia Sense 4.1 v1.0.0 ROM
Thanks in advance.

The two options I use are putting a .jpg named AlbumArt.jpg in the folder where that album is. Some of my songs have album art embedded in the mp3 in which case they show up fine.
Guys I'm having a big problem now. I don't know why after I cleared the Media Storage menu (Applications > Manage applications > Media Storage) all my album arts (including album arts of the default preinstalled free songs) disappeared!
Now even if I add other songs from my PC (those which are already tagged by my iTunes and do show the album arts in my PC) no long show any album arts in my Desire. It seems like my Desire is unable to "scan" or "detect" the image of the album art. If my songs are tagged wrongly then why those preinstalled free songs also don't show any album arts.
I tried to add the album art manually using Cover Art Downloader application but still no album art comes out for the song. The album art is not displayed beside the song title in the application. Clueless.
Help!
so i decided i wanted to change my homescreen, and wanted a music widget. had little luck finding one that supports the stock music player, so have recently installed poweramp, which seems like a great player, and has a nice widget.
the problems are that it tries to play all my mp4 videos and some small app sounds, which is annoying. is there a way to filter out the small files? as for the mp4s, ive tried to deselect the folder from my external sd\video folder, but every time i do that it either crashes the program or just reselects it. i think it sometimes crashes randomly also, but cannot be sure having only used it for a day.
also, ive downloaded a lot of album art, and works well within poweramp, but ive tried to go back to the original player and the old album art is displayed. is there any way to embed the album art back into the songs or whatever needs to be done?
sorry if these questions have been answered before, but ive had no luck searching or playing about in the settings myself.
might think of some more, but for now any help with the above would be great.
If you go to the settings, go to the folders/library section and click Music Folders it will come up with a little pop up type box called Folders Selection
it'll take a little while to load your whole folder list so dont worry, but when all your folders are shown, untick everything, and then find just the folders where your music files are stored and tick that. That way only files from those folders are played
And as for album art, there's no setting in poweramp for that as far as i know, and i dont know of any apps that do that, but there is one easy way to do it that should work perfectly, (it shows my album art on any player)
On your computer, download the Songbird player. Then set which folders are you library etc etc so all your songs come up in the player. Then get the album art files you've downloaded on your comp, and you can edit the album art of each song or whole albums.
To change the album art, click on the song or highlight all the songs in an album (to do this, click the first song on the album, hold the shift key, then click the last song, and all the songs in between will be highlighted too); and right click the selection.
Click view metadata
Where the artwork is displayed, click the replace button
In the box that pops up, navigate to the folder where your album art is stored, click the correct album art and click open, then close the metadata box by clicking the okay button at the bottom and the album art should be changed.
It is a bit of a long process if you have a lot of albums, but at least it doesn't mess up like those automated album art changers or tag editors you can download...
Hope this helps
nice one
although like i said ive tried that folder selection thing. ive unticked the videos one, and it just crashes, or fails to work.
Hmm... i've no idea why that happens.
Go the poweramp page on google play or go to poweramp's own site and email them. That seems to be an issue with the app itself
Hi. I have just got a GNex after changing from an S2.
I copied and pasted all my music which is in an itunes folder on my PC... i don't have an ipod or an iphone, but do like it as a pc mucic player before anyone flames me.
Anyway, simply file system of folder Music - then all the albums in that.
Copied all the album folders to the 'music' folder on the Gnex and the music plays fine, problem is there is hardly any album artwork, just some horrible generic image on most.
On my S2 nearly all album artwork is there so why is it not working on the GNex.
Have tried the album art grabber app etc and they find all the artwork, they display all the artwork in the artwork app, but when i go back to the music player, there is still no artwork!!
So how can i get all the album artwork back on my music player as my lovely screen looks totally crap with some horrible big stock artwork cover which is just two bands of different colour, horrid.. please help....
thanks

How can I get album art for my music collection in mtcmusic? In poweramp I simply need to hold down on the song and it'll download/display options for album art. I like poweramp but really enjoy the way mtcmusic "integrates" with the home screen (shuts down radio to switch to music and vice versa, but won't if your using power-amp instead of mtcmusic)
thanks
DF
Tasker and a rooted HU can allow any music app to shut off the radio.

I really like Jack's Music Widget, lets you integrate just pure album art to a home screen.

Thank you very much for splending answer!
But my HU Joying (rooted MalayskROM) has same issue.
Do I need any customize after activated Xposed mtc?

I do not understand. Xposed is not used. The music widget may not work with mtcmusic.
I too would prefer to use the built in app if I could work our how to get the Album art to display. I have a 4GB stick full of various albums, they have all been ID3 tagged and have had album art applied through Windows Media player. You can check this by finding the file in its folder, when you click the track the album art should appear in the details pane on the right.
Plus I also dropped a JPEG of the album art into each album folder. Now when I play songs through the Native app some show album art and some don't, but I can't figure out the difference between the ones that do and ones that don't!

No!, I have no idea what's going on but I have noticed something else. EVERY album displays album art on the widget on the home screen.
To clarify, if I go into the music app and start playing an album that is not displaying album art. I hit the home button and it does display the art on the widget.
So now I'm even more confused!

@scatamonky, I use Mp3Tag to apply all my cover arts and my OEM player shows the covers always, give it a try make couple mp3's with cover art and see if it shows: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
By jove Reptile I think you've cracked it. I downloaded the MP3 Tag editor and the albums that don't show album art in the player do not have anything showing up and the ones that do....do!
I was using Windows media Player and it was clearly telling me lies.
Thanks !!!
I am glad it helped show your problem :good:
Tested and Working! Using the MP3 Tag editor highlighted by Reptile I now have album art displaying for every album I have. Which is about 19GB worth so far.!!!!
For anyone else experiencing this issue, do not trust Windows Media Player to add your art. If I opened folders on my PC and clicked on a song it would show album art in the details pane on the right but still NOT show art in the car!
Using the MP3 Tag editor I was able to see that WMP only seems to associate art with a file as long as its on the same PC, as soon as you take that file away to another player the art is gone.
This was frying my noodle for a long time so I'm really happy to have it resolved at last!!!
