Hi
How do I get album art to appear in the media panel when I browse through my albums?? All my tunes are on a microSD, and each album has a jpg album cover within its folder. WMP can see the album covers, but the SE media panel just shows the default turntable icon.
Any idea's?
Nigel
I would like to know this as well.
I real elsewhere that this is a no - which makes the media panel all but useless for me - I am too used to nav via pics!
Try Kinoma Player (or free player) which does do album-art.

No idea, one of my albums has art appearing, the other 20 don't.

I've got album art appearing on my media panel for just about all my albums, i think the trick is to embed the album art into the MP3s themselves, rather than using an external jpeg image, which is something i did a long time ago for my PSP... looking through my collection the only ones without album art are the albums i have got since i last updated my PSP, so i think that's a fairly safe bet.
sheesh... then I've got to embed my MP3s with the album art one by one? Hmmm... if so guess that's one area where my Touch Pro's media player's better. All I need is the album art named as 'folder.jpg'. Thought it'd work for this as well.
Album art
if its a win mobile phone jus sync with window media center easy as can be can even copy album art else were and paste rite into your media center NYC BayBee
Realized that when playing in Windows Media Player, I can see the album art. Not only that, I can see the chinese font (whereas using the media player panel, all I see are question marks).
When I synced my music collection with WMP, I got to see all the artwork in the media panel, but the playlists themselves are not synced by WMP, which is not handy as I mostly listen to those playlists themselves. Based on some tips, I went to iTunes and synced with Salling Media Sync, which does sync all MP3's and playlists, but now the artwork is no longer shown in the media panel, even though all MP3's files still have the artwork embedded in them. This is strange and annoying: either no artwork or no playlists.
You need to tag your mp3 files correctly use the below program to alter the mp3 tags and embed the album art

If you've got a lot it may take some effort but it's worthwhile.

I have done that. I used that same program to embed all the covers in the MP3 files. Have been working on that for days, but still it doesn't show up in the media panel.
Anyone know where the stock Music app is getting the album art from?
I took some mp3s where I purposefully changed the tags to bogus data--for an unrelated test--and put them in their own folder on the phone and it is giving it the original artists album art.
How's it doing that?
I'd like to know this too. I was putting the album covers in the same folders as the mp3's, which works for the music player to show the correct albums. But then in my gallery I have all the albums showing up as their own folder. Would like to just be able to put them all into one folder if possible?
Hi, my vibrant is mainly used for an mp3 player...In music player..I keep seeing EVERY mp3 i have on the phone..I have my music/podcast mp3s, plus my ring tones...is there a way to not have my ring tones (located btw in their OWN directory on the phone [under "[rings] ] keep showing up in my music player??..also I have a lot of podcasts loaded..(again as for everything in their own dedicated directory on the phone (under media/audio)...to be exact...podcasts are under T-Man... (these files have no ID3 tags, so they show up as UNKNOWN...fine...but why can't I change this directory's name and add a thumbnail pic? next I have mixshow mp3's by diff dj's...all in their respective folders.. as an example..1 dj's mp3's I added album art through winamp and saved the id3, copied to phone....nothing...still shows a stock music player img...what am I doing wrong? help me out please ...
PS. Tried Player Pro, which somehow added thumbs to some of my podcasts/mixshows..which had nothing to do with the content...deleted the app, thumbs remained...
Find the folder that's giving you the mp3 and add a dot a the begining, example .test that way the music player won't look in the there to get music

in each folder that is showing up in your music folder add a file .nomedia ...the music player will not scan that folder for music
as far as album art try a app called album art grabber...it's free in the market
Hi everyone!
I manage all my music in iTunes on my Mac and transfer it to my devices with iSyncr, which is a great app. However, in iTunes i use the album artist field a lot (e.g. artist: Eminem feat. Dr. Dre, album artist: Eminem).
This causes a problem in most Android music players as they don't read the album artist tag and make my artist list way too long and unreadable. Currently I'm using Google Play Music player which does in fact support the album artist tag. But i would love to use the stock music player on the Galaxy Tab 2 because of the shortcut dock on the standard launcher.
Mostly I'm just curious about why some players support the album artist field why others doesn't. Also, I have searched and searched about this without finding a lot of useful information. Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this? Anyone else having trouble with music tagging at all?
Thanks for any feedback!

I have all the .mp3 tracks for each album in a folder. Also in that folder is the cover picture labelled albumart.jpg. Try clearing the data in the Google Play Music app. That forces the player to rescan for music files.
There are apps on Google play store that can do it, such as 'album art grabber' etc
