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.

I use Mp3Tag and on Android I use Album art grabber which shows the album cover picture only when I'm using custom music apps e.g. CM9 music player ...

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.

It depends on the file that you downloaded. I used poweramp too and it only works for songs that I downloaded off of Tunee Music that show the Artist and Title of the song the way they are supposed too.
Does that make sense?
For example,
Lady Gaga-Poker Face--->It will find this one no problem
Poker Face Lady Gaga----> It wont find files that are incorrectly labeled.
Should I go into root explorer and rename the files? Would that work out is it somehow coded in the file?

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 don't know if this is normal of not - when i use google play (downloaded from play store) and the album cover pic doesn't change. if it switch between artists (different "folder") it will change, but if i have 1 artist with like multiple albums it won't change album picture. and yes i'm sure the song has an album art attached
refer to sig for my phone specs

Yes, it is normal. This means, that the music files (MP3, M4A, 3GP, WMA etc. ) have not got the albumart saved in the binary...
Just ignore it
how do i fix it?
There is no way to "fix" it... Just leave it as it is

You can add or edit album art for your music on the Google Play Music "play.google.com/music/listen". There is a small arrow to the right of each album and track that will bring up a pop-up menu when clicked on. Just select edit, change album art, and upload your new art.
I have noticed that sometimes the album art is slow to update when I'm listening to music and my phone is getting a week signal. It may take 20 seconds or more to update.

again, i'm not trying to add or edit. there already is album art on each individual song. the problem is google play is not updating and changing when there are different albums in like 1 artist

I have the same question.
all my mp3s have album arts, but none of them show up.
a solution would be nice.
Browse Play Store for "Album Art Grabber", run the app, in the interface choice "clear", yes, "clear", it will clear old album art database of the Google Play Music, then start Google Play Music, it will show new album art of the songs.
I had a similar problem a while back, you have to use the internet and go to Google play music and change the pictures in there, then they get updated withing the music app.

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.

Sometimes ur album arts get messed up, but the thumbnail caches stay there no matter what u do.
This is because the album art caches stay inside ur sdcard.
In WALKMAN, if u Download Music Info and checked "Replace Existing Information", ur album arts will also get changed and most of the time changed to the wrong album art. And it just stays there forever no matter how u edit ur mp3's ID Tag.
To remove the album art thumbnail caches,
For Android Music Player
1. Force Close music player
2. Go to /sdcard/Android/data/com.android.providers.media/
3. Delete albumthumbs folder or any other folders
For WALKMAN Music Player
1. Force Close WALKMAN player
2. Go to /sdcard/Android/data/com.sonyericsson.music/files/
3. Delete cache folder
4. Go to /sdcard/Android/data/com.sony.walkman.mediaplayers.wm/files/ (if exist)
5. Delete extprops folder

That's why I stopped using Walkman player and jumped to Poweramp.
Walkman always messes up the tags and albums(oh, by the way, Poweramp sound better to me )

I foolishly let this run... and some of my tracks have been "re-tagged" - not within their own file tags, though. I tried all the guidance here and in the other thread and I haven't managed to back this out yet. Any further advice?

what do you mean by re-tagged?
It should revert to the album art in the song's tag

I refer not to the album art but the track title and artist name.
A case in point: I have a copy of "Mandy" by The Spinners - Gracenote has caused this to appear as "Chapter 14at" by Tamora Pierce.
If I copy the file over to my computer and do id3v2 -l on it, it still shows the right details:
id3v1 tag info for 09.Mandy.mp3:
Title : Mandy Artist: The Spinners
Album : An Evening with ... Year: 1969, Genre: Unknown (255)
Comment: Track: 9
09.Mandy.mp3: No ID3v2 tag
There have been other similar changes.
So, where is Walkman picking up the phony details from, and how do I get rid of the phony details?
