Album art showing up in gallery - Captivate General

So I have a lot of music that I copied over on my sd card.
Now though all my album art is showing up in the gallery?
Is there any way I can limit what folders are being added to the gallery program? If not, hows do I add music without having it added to it?

You can use a program like media monkey to tag the songs with the corresponding album art and then get rid of the actual picture file.

For the record, I love MediaMonkey and highly recommend it for tagging your songs. It can autotag them, but I prefer to choose my own images and to make sure it tags the right albums, and not a compilation album.
It is rather therapeutic and relaxing, actually.

Album pic?

Is there anyway to extract and album thumb from an mp3 file?

A standard MP3 file only contains audio data, with no additional information about the artist or type of audio contained within it. please see the two webpages to shed some light on this.
1st webpage = Embedding Album Art in MP3 Files
2nd webpage = How to Tag an MP3 With Album Art
if you want to grab album art there are several apps on the market that will allow you to do this. album art grabber found here is rather useful. you then might (in theory) be able to look at your sd card to extract the file that way. not really sure, never tried.

Stock Music Player Wallpaper

All the songs That I have on my phone has the same background cover for every songs, how do I remove it ALL? I have sense 3.5 on my phone. RcMix v3.1
Most likely you have a picture saved in your music folder. And since your songs do not have an embedded album art for each song it is using that pic for everything. I myself do not use a hidden jpeg pic for album art. I embed each song's tag with an album art when I rip it. If I have to add an album art for each song after being ripped I use dBpoweramp(not free) or MP3Tag(free).
I use droID3Tagger. It's free in the market and will search for and embed album art into the song.

I will have to check that out fernandezhjr. That may come in real handy.
Edit: DroID3Tagger works well, but only works if the music files are MP3. I also gave another app called Audio Tagger a try and it works well also. Plus it does other formats besides MP3s. Both apps are top notch and will fix up your music library in no time.

Music Organisation

Is there a way to transfer music from my PC/iTunes without losing all of the information such as album artwork and artist name? Just, when I transfer an album over at the moment, it puts some songs as individual albums instead of with the album their with. For example, I transferred over Some Nights by Fun (great album) and, whilst most of the tracks were fine, Carry On was listed under a separate album. Anyway to avoid this?
Any ideas?
Music Folder Player
Google Play: Music Folder Player
"If you regularly play music on your mobile Android device, then Music Folder Player may come in handy.
It can be annoying when playing ,music without tags for example of your ripped CD’s without downloading the ID3 tag. How about when you’ve added music in a ‘new music folder in your memory card without knowing exactly all the artists/albums? Well, the dev of the app, XDA forum member cyberniko says this is where his app can help.
Music Folder Player is available as a free version in the Market, and the dev is looking for feedback on tablets."

My friend ,
I'll try to explain what i've done with my mp3 library
It's all about the tag stored in the mp3 file itself
There's more than a version of this tag
One file can contain more than one version
That's make the conflict
I'm using a wonderful free software on my pc called mp3tag
There's nothing you can't do in the tag
Give it a try

Maybe you could give Mediamonkey a try instead of itunes... It also allows syncing with Note.

Ps. Not affiliated with this vendor, just sick of the bloated itunes and found a nice alternative.

I use this This is the greatest program I've used! I love iTunes for some reason, and this app syncs everything perfectly for me. I'd highly recommend it. It doesn't sync play count or stars, but that's OK. Playlists are all that I need and a fast easy interface.

Hidden photos, but not other content in gallery

I know that is possible to put a ".nomedia" file, but this will hidden all content. I want to hidden the photos of the music album that are viewable in the gallery. How can solve this problem?
I'm on jb cm10 custom ROM.

I don't understand. You have some pics in a folder which are the covers you want to hide, but some other pics you want to see in the gallery. Is this right? If so, why don't you create a subfolder for your covers and put a .nomedia into it?
Sent from my S-OFFed Desire S
I have a music folder with subfolder with different album. Inside there is music and photos of the album. This permits to show the album's photo in the music player. I don't want to see this photos in the gallery. If I put the nomedia file, I will not see both the music and photos in the player.

I know that Apollo automatically fetches images from the Net for you (I have no images in my music folder and some images are displayed in the music player).
Is this a valid option for you or do you absolutely want the photos that are adjacent to your music files ?
Thanks. I will try. I will post if it works.
EDIT: it works.

Gallery with album art

So, I've searched but found no solid answers. Is there any application that hides it from showing in the normal gallery view without it affecting the pictures showing up in the music players. I know of Gallery Lock and another but they hide it completely and don't allow it to show up in the music players as artwork.
tl;dr: want app that hides artwork from the default gallery viewer.
