I'm a bit annoyed by the default htc music player. The problem is that the Album Covers are shown in a very low quality. I mean it's blurry. It's not as clear as the Original JPEG image. I installed some other music player apps and still the same. So I thought maybe it's a firmware problem. Is there a reason for this? On my Previous phone it was fine. Album covers had the original quality. And please don't say Reset To Factory Defaults or Stuff like these cuz it's not gonna work.
Has anyone reported this to htc devs or is it gonna be fixed in future firmware updates???
screenshots with the Google Play Music app are from 2 different phones.
I have to say I'm a quality freak and really care about small details.
You could download album art grabber from playstore

I don't use the default HTC music app anymore, I prefer Google Play Music, but my album art looks great.

I also have the similar problem but only while playing Youtube videos. When I use MX Player for videos stored on phone there is no such problem. Try watching the same video on the youtube website on the browser.

I have thoose issues but only when using any equalizer app.

The only solutions that comes to mind are the stuttering issue while beats (eq) is active (turn it off completely), or the CPU that is running on a too low clockrate/voltage.
Furthermore have you guys tried a hard reset ? Maybe there are some rogue apps running in the background and clogging up your memory/CPU resources.
The only time I experienced such issue was when I ran the older firmware versions with the beats stuttering bug, or when my phone didn't have enough resources left to do the job

My phone does not do this with beats active. You might need to update your phone. If you want to return it I would now as I can't imagine there will be a new software update coming out in the foreseeable future.

That's a pretty liberal use of the word! This stuff is garbage! I've been reading every post I can find on both the internet and these forums, to no avail. The problem is some of my albums have REALLY poor quality artwork. I mean god awful, looks like it's a thumbnail blown up to fit on a big screen bad. Now I have tried everything I can find to fix this. I've used Album Art Grabbers. I've cleared the data on Google Player. I've even manually moved the MP3s in question onto my computer, used my Meta-Tag Editor to FORCE them to use High-rez artwork by directly encoding it into the files themselves. But no matter what I do, nothing works. When I clear the data for google player(forcing it to re-build my library) at first my new high-rez images are there. But the spinning circle indicating Google isn't done f**king with me is still going. When it stops, my shiny new album artwork has once again been replaced by garbage!
Anyone else severely frustrated by this? I'm seriously pissed. Album art, it's one of the easiest things in the world to manage! hundreds of free players do it just fine. But the all-mighty Google can't get it right? Am I missing something or are we doomed to a life of high rez screen + Album art from 1992?
No one?
I do not have this problem. Try going to the web interface, and changing the album art on the edit album option.
Yeah my Google music purchases look great, however the ones media monkey pulled in look like garbage.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Mine looked really bad in Google Music when I first opened it, but after the update pulled for the app on day 2 they looked fine.
Mine look awful too! Either they are blown up and are EXTREMELY pixelated or its the wrong album cover! I have my music manager set to upload music from my iTunes and all of my iTunes music has HQ Album Art and are accurate. Anyone know why it does this?
I had a huge problem with artwork, I ended up having to manually enter all of my artwork on iTunes. None of the artwork iTunes pulled for me stuck to the files. It was a tedious process but works great now.
I web searched each album that had poor res art and downloaded at least 400px art and tagged it to the albums with Media Monkey. Real pain at first, but once done all look great.
okay, so when i add the music to my phone, everything works great, but if i change the album art for one song and replace it on the phone, the album art wont update. it will still use the older one which was deleted. so its like the database isnt updated, but if i just add or delete songs, it will update, just use the older album art. how do i get the walkman to refresh or update database? the other 3rd party players like poweramp work great, but i want the walkman to work too. btw im using xperia s, .55 firmware.
oh and one more thing, when i click on download music information in walkman, it would download like the artist images that appear in "my music" tab in the player, so not the album art, the artist image. the thing is, for example, for adele, it downloaded some 3 black guys who i dont even know who they are, and for beyonce it didnt download any artist picture? how do i manually change that?
I have a problem with Google Play Music app. When I'm listening music and go to home or any other app and I come back to the music app it doesn't show the album picture nor the minute of the playing song.
Also sometimes it also stops playing music and the lockscreen widget starts blinking
I have this issue too but it doesn't bother me as much. For the alb um cover simply hit the back button and you're good to go. For the lockscreen flashing, turn off the display and turn it back on.
Yes, these issues are easily solved unlocking the device and that's all. But I think is something related with 4.2.1, I don't remember these issues with 4.1.2..
Am I the only one that sees glitches EVERYWHERE in the Google Play Music app? For an example, clicking on the Search button, the search icon stays at he same place, when the second search icon reaches the left side of the search area, the right search icon then disappears. did I mention how laggy the animation is?
Clicking on the Thumbs up button has like 2 FPS animation.
Navigating the lists, for an example from albums to playlists is glitchy.
Browsing somewhere then clicking on a song to play it basically is so glitchy and slow that it hurts my eyes.
I didn't notice the issue with the search icon before, but now I've seen it lol. The app in general is extremely laggy even here on Gnex. I don't have to mention how it was in my previous Xperia Neo...
I'm experiencing the same since 4.2.1, music stops randomly (not only on google music, poweramp and musicxmatch also) and the lockscreen widgets blinks
There are so many small things in the Google Play music, that it makes me believe that Google doesn't even use it themselves. Like Mark Zuckerberg forced his employees to use their Android app to realize how bad it was.
How the heck can a music player (which isn't a rocket science like simulation or an emulator or a game like Shadowgun) to lag in the UI? Every single animation in the app is laggy. Literally. Please, i dare you to find somewhere in the app that isn't glitchy. If I worked at Google, I couldn't sleep at night because I have shipped this app in this state to the Play store.
Did I mention the UI and the background? What's up with that blueish thingy that is the wallpaper. Looks so amateurish.
Also did I mention the fade in animation when you scroll down or up in lists like Recent or albums? Why put this transition effect even if it severely downgrades the performance? Just try to scroll when you have a lot of music. A nightmare.
I have started to realize that Google is treating us Nexus owners like labrats. Sad truth.
Just look at the Android 4.2 update. Not a word from Google about all these problems, that probably affected all the Galaxy nexus owners. Not a single word to Google's most loyal customers.
The truth is that 4.2 came with several new things but is not optimized and is very laggy. I had to flash CM10.1 because the stock rom wich always worked smoothly started freezing suddenly. It came to the point when something so simple like writting with the keyboard froze the phone for a while.
The best version i've seen on our phones is the 4.1.2 and i doubt Google will make it better.

It happens to me too. Have you installed custom music player like cm9 music player or apollo music player?
It happened to me on stock 4.2.1 and now also on CM 10.1 (wich includes Apollo)

I get those same issues when I use CM9 Music player and I don't mean the apollo.
So that's why I use all the time CM9 music player..
If you delete every custom music player including apollo player and then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then Google play music player will work without any issues..

I am not seeing any issues with the google Music app other than what the OP is describing. mine doesn't lag when scrolling long lists or loading album art. i was scrolling as fast as possible and the album art was keeping right up with me. also no slow/buggy animations anywhere. maybe your app needs the data cleared or something?
as for the blue background.....yes, this needs to be updated for sure. the music app needs to be re-done ASAP to the more holo style....google themselves provided guidelines for designing apps, why not use them on their own apps?

Could you please record your phone and showing off Google Music? I want to know how your animations are.
Do we know if this is a problem with CM specifically or simply the GMusic app being buggy? I have significant issues on my Gnex with Google Play Music, lots of freezing, problems with widgets not responding, and even flickering on the lock screen.
album art loads sometimes without any problem sometime i have to click the like icon on the player then the album art comes up.
Dont know weather this is aknown bug or only with me?
This may be unrelated entirely, but when I installed the MusicBox mod this morning, Google Play Music started having issues...but it was force closing, not having album art issues. Like I said, may be unrelated (and probably is) but thought I'd let you know if you have installed MusicBox recently.

Try using PowerAmp or the stock music player.
Musicbox wont work with PA but u can enable beats.
Anyway try some AOSP Rom if u want to play with Enhancers.

Well, the only reason that I have been sticking with Google Play Music is because I have all of my music online (and can manage it online), so I do not have to take up valuable storage room on my SD Card with music files. Is there another music player out there that will utilize my collection on Play Music other than Google's?
