This may have been asked in some other thread, but I couldn't find it explicitly. I tag all my mp3's by inserting the album art into the tags. It seems sometimes the album art will be correct after downloading some tracks onto the SD. For no reason I can find, I'll look at my music and the album art will have gotten mixed up and some albums seem to be using art from other albums. Seems like for some reason the DB is getting mixed up, and no amount of using apps to rescan the card seems to fix it. Anyone seen this before?
Using 2.3.3 stock and the stock player.

had put a bunch of music on my Fuze and had just noticed last night that it doesn't seem to be pulling the album arts from the ID3 tags, I have a bunch of Misc X-X folders that are all just random singles i've downloaded not albums and it somehow pulled the album art out of one of the songs and applied it to all songs in there which being a album of a bunch of random singles isn't right, is there ay way to get it to correctly display from the ID3 tags or is it just not capable of it?
Several threads for this issue already.
Had tried search but didn't have any luck finding anything on it.
You need to put each artist/album into it's own folder.
Yeah that doesn't always work, all of mine are separated and still no album art.. while if i stick my card back into the 8525 there it all is. Either way, for me at least its not a big deal and I'm just living with it.
I am trying to get album art in the Xoom music app. In the music app directions is says to copy the album art picture into the subdirectory with the songs and name it 'albumart.jpg'
music\abba\gold\albumart.jpg
Has anyone else got this to work or any suggestions?
The album and songs show up in the music app but not the album art.
I have re-booted but that did not work.
3g/wifi Xoom.

I have had some issues with the cover art working as well. I downloaded "Cover Art Grabber" from the market and it downloaded and inserted the problem art.
Thanks for the reply. I tried "Cover Art Grabber" and another program but I could not get them to insert the cover art in to the default music app.
What I did do to get it to work was, after in put the 'albumarm.jpg' into the correct directory, I went to Settings/manage apps/ and cleared the data in the music app. After I restarted the music app it found the cover art.

There are a few apps that can do that. Do a search on ID3 and there are apps there that can insert cover art into the Xoom's media database (without having a picture file in the folder). Some of these ID3 apps can also insert covers directly into the MP3/M4A.
I've tried Cover Art Grabber, Cover Art Downloader, AudioTagger Free, MP3 Tagger (I think this can also fix foreign garbled ID3 tags), iTag, DroID3Tagger but I can't tell you which is the best as my Xoom is dead now.
Hi Guys,
I used the free MediaMonkey last night and it worked really well. I removed all the album art info that exsisted and then used the "auto tag from the web" which found the album cover and added it in the correct format. Now all my albums show correctly
The default HTC music player seems to do some odd stuff when generating album lists from ID3 tags!
Some of my albums are split up into 2 or 3 separate albums, I've reset all the ID3 tags and cleared the media cache to no effect.
Anyone else experienced this, anyone know a solution?
Yes, I am experiencing this issue was well... I copied around 3gb of music to my Sensation, and noticed the issue almost immediately. I cleared the media cache, and it *seemed* to fix it, but after a reboot it was back to weirdness.
Weirdness, as defined in my case, is where an artist will have the correct number of albums, but when selecting an album, I am given a track listing from either A) A different album, or B) The album I selected, plus a bunch of different tracks, with incorrect thumbnails for the album... Very strange indeed.
Another bit of weirdness is, once I realize the track list is jacked, I hit the BACK button, and I get a Force Close, with a 'Tell HTC' button. I've hit Tell HTC everytime in an attempt to annoy them... hopefully it gets through.

Do you have different album artist? I have a soundtrack on here and it's split up because the songs have different album artist. Not Artist, Album Artist

Not to speak for the OP, but in my case, the answer is no. I am taking about single artists albums...

Update... Winamp doesn't exhibit these oddities, therefore, I am switching. I really like the sense player, but can't live with the broken listing. I am sure it will be fixed in the update... Or at least I hope.

You just need to make sure you have the correct album artist and it works fine.

I do have the correct album artists, and it doesnt work... No changes to the tags, and winamp works fine... YMMV.
even if it says the right artist under 'artist' in the tag, it may have something else under 'album artist'
you can use something like mp3tag to read & edit the tags

Just having a toy with this, on mine looks like i had differing composers.. Just testing to see if that fix's it
Anyone have any issues with this?
For example, there is a specific album from an artist called Hopsin on my sd card and every so often the album art from him will over take all my songs, regardless of song, album, or artist... I can't reproduce it or figure out why it's happening.. Just totally random.
The only solution I have is to use cover art downloader and clear all art work then redownload it all.. Then a few days later it will happen again.. Very annoying.

Hello,
I have a nexus 5 with android 5.01 and google Music version 5.7.1788Q.1634597
i found Music app cannot show the album art of all albums which all has a cover.jpg in the same folder of the music files (flac).
however, i have a xperia sp which has CM11 and same Music version, it can display the all cover art with the same set of folders i put into nexus 5.
anyone has any idea of this problem?
thanks!
Joseph
You can try to change album cover in Windows Media Player and then sync your music.
does anyone else have the problem that some (seemingly) random songs are shown one specific album art image instead of their own?
i dont work with folder, i have every music file tagged with the album art. usually 500x500 pixel. however for some songs android decides to just pick a random album art from another song and show it with them.

Yep.Dont know if its the app or album fault.
Hi i just delete all the Music app data and cache ... kind of force it to re load my library then it can show the album art correctly....
you can try in your case.
