is there any Gallery application where you can tag pictures and then you can browse by tag.
Just like playlists in music player, you can get some song in multiple playlists without copy it.

I transferred a bunch of music over using MediaMonkey, but most albums are missing album art. All the folders have a *.alb file, but no album cover shows up when i use the music player.
I have used MP3tag to view my tags, but nothing stands out as bad. 2 albums with all fields filled in, one shows album art, the other doesn't. Out of 20 albums i transferred over, only 4 show album art.
Any ideas?
Thanks
EDIT - other issues include "unknown artist" and it seems to be M4A files (AAC) Only.
I too use mediamonkey and the best way to have album art show for a song is to embed that art directly into the song's file. To do this in mediamonkey, sort by album, then highlight all songs of the same album and right click and press auto-tag from web. It will try to find the album art and you will embed it directly into the song. That way any media player will be able to show the album art.

I have done this and then re-synced. I see the tracks copied over - but still no album art. Very strange.
Solved it - also the unknown artist issue.
If I used MP3Tag and remove all tags, then save the files. Then use MP3tag to add new tags (pulled from Amazon); then save; then copy to phone all is good.
For some reason, Media Monkey is NOT refreshing what it sees, so it is not really copying the retagged files over to the device. Even if do a rescan, it isn't updating. Changing tags in MediaMonkey was not fixing it either.
Also, updating tags in MP3tag was not fixing it - i had to remove, save, add, save.
So I'm kind of an exception case for music, where I hunt for all my music via music blogs. The problem with this is that most of the songs I download aren't part of an album, and most of the time are pre releases, or bootlegs.
In these situations how do I organize my music through zune?!
Editing tag information in Zune REQUIRES an album name. Adding albums that don't have an album name are tagged "Unknown Album {Date Added}".
Is there any way to just have the songs without album names hidden? I've even tried using a space, but then it started grouping all of those together as an unknown album .
Other than that do you guys have a particular way in how you organize music?

Uhm. I would just make a bogus album name (aka song name). There's no way to just have album so just do it that way. You can always just look at different ways to look at ur music, by artist, song, etc...

That's what I do for any artist where I have b-sides or demos in addition to the regular albums. I create an album called 'singles' and group all the non-album tracks under those. You could create different albums like this; demos, singles, bootlegs, etc.
So if you use Windows Media Player and Sync song files to the to the Charge will they automatically save to the SD card...my last phone had a setting where you decided where you wanted stuff saved. Internal vs. SD..does this setting existin in the stock charge UI? If so where?
Drop the music wherever you like on the SD card. Android's media scanner will take care of the rest.
Cooll..I did this...worked Great..but it didn't sync any of the Album cover jpgs..instead every Album on my phone has this Stupid different color bubble jpg next to each Album..Anyway to change this?
The problem is that you have album cover JPGs as separate files. Are you coming from iTunes? The way to fix is to embed the album art into the mP3 files themselves. This can be done with an ID3 tag editor such as http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ (free). If you have ripped CDs you can process whole albums at a time and it will import the album art from amazon or freecd databases on the web, and mash the picture right into the mp3s.
They are ripped CDs on my laptop...all I did was take them all drag them over to synch folder and the phone and Windows Media Player did the rest...so how would do this? Won't the ripped CDs have the pics inbedded in the wave files or whatever.
I didn't even associate the Album cover with the Albums Windows Media Player did automatically...so naturraly I thought if I just dumped them in the synch folder it would synch everything. So how do I do this?
well i do pretty much what you do, but i create an autoplaylist called androidsync which automatically adds everything to itself, then just always sync that playlist.
What you're doing should work - curious. ID3 tagging would definitely fix it though.. depending on how much music you have it can be a pain.
have a bunch of songs and I want to create a playlist with them. However since I only have the songs and not the entire albums etc. I don't want them popping up on the music player as albums/anywhere besides in the playlist. How can I do this?
Is anybody else having issues with the stock MIUI Music Player reading tags?
I can not get the music player to reliably read the tags in my mp3 files.
All of my music is tagged meticulously in iTunes. All info present along with Album Art which is embedded. All tags set to ID3 version 2.3.
No matter how I export/import the music into my Mi 4c the tags are never read correctly. The player never sees the Album Name, and always sets all Album Names to the Artist Name. It never sees the Album Art and just gets a random image from where I do not know. Probably the Mi Marketplace.
The closest I can get to have it working is to convert all my tags to ID3 version 1.0. Re-embed my artwork. Be sure the Album Artist field is empty then import. If I do this then SOME of the Album Art is recognized and most of the Album Names are set correctly. But not all. With a 20,000+ plus song library I do not want to go through the tedious task of re-tagging the songs I want on the phone so they display correctly. I really like the clean lines and simple layout of the stock music player but unless it reads these tags it is useless.
Hi, I have similar issues. All my music are ogg files tagged with EasyTag. MIUI Music Player can't read Artist Name and Album Art. Other tags are OK. VLC can read all tags without problems.
