Has anyone got heir album art to work properly? The album art that I have with my files are embedded directly in the id3 tag of my files, but the phone is not displaying it at all.
I CAN however place the songs in their own folder along with the image file for the album art, and it picks it up just fine. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS.
I have a folder titles MUSIC on my sd card, and all my MP3's are just dropped right in that folder. this is how I would like to keep it,so I don't have 300 child folders.
what am I doing wrong? How do I fix this.
Using the stock player, and album art was embedded with Windows Media Player. TagScanner also picks it up as embedded.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: This has been solved with 2 different methods. Both work great!
Method 1, is pretty simple... Find the album art for your respective album, and rename the picture file to "albumart.jpg" ...The player picks it up fine. This was suggested already, and does in fact work, but not what I was looking for.
Method 2, this is what I wanted! I used a program called "TagScanner" ...This is freeware, just Google it. With this program, I was able to embed the album art right into each MP3. This way, I don't have lots of folders inside of folders.

Did that. Doesn't work. It picks up the MUSIC folder as 1 album. Just as all the other Market apps for this process. That's why I went to the PC to load the album art.
If you happen to have a song that DOES pick up the album art on the Phone, would you be willing to email it to me? [email protected] ...That way I can look at how the file and the art are encoded and duplicate this?

Bah sorry about that. All my files were imported in folders by album from iTunes using Easy Phone Tunes so that's probably why Album Art Grabber worked perfectly for me.

If I ABSOLUTELY have to do it this way, per folder, then I will. But I would really love to avoid this if at all possible.
Cover Art Downloader might work better. Works good for me.

Hi all,
I use this website for several years now, thank you all for sharing all your knowledges, roms, etc ...
Today it's my turn to propote my app
I made a music player with file browsing, 10 months ago, and I updated it.
Did you ever have music files without tags ? (for example ripped from your CDs)
Did you ever add some music in a "new music" folder in your memory card, without knowing exactly all the artist / albums ?
Do you know the "unknown artist" who sings the "Track 01", even if your file name is correct ?
For all those cases, this application will save you
I should work fine on your phone but many of you have custom roms so I would like to have feedbacks.
You can contact me at [email protected]
It should work with any roms,
The UI can support from small screens (320x240) to the biggest one (480x840).
Thank you,
See you !
nico.
Congrats
It seems quite nice.
Gonna try!
Thanks!
I've downloaded and tried this app. It definitely works.
What I would like to see is a design that is more sleek. The music player for 2.1 is a good example of what I'm talking about.
post deleted
Looks soo cool & better than stock app.
I like it....would be cool to see some album art and maybe a paid version with no ads
seems like a decent app. the interface is very straigtforward and simple, but integrates well with sense. very cool that it is controllable through the applet (as it seems to to use the stock player for actual playback).
i have one suggestion: the fonts are unneccessary big in the file list, can you make them smaller or user selectable?
good to see more music players on the market, i wrote musicflow....
Looking good so far.
+1 for the album art and the graphics.
I have adfree running so can't see the advertising anyway, something you may want to think about because a lot of people have this program.
If I wanted adware i'd have a windows os
Any screens?
@cyberniko
Looks nice but after installation i started it and it gave me a FC on MCR 3.x ROM, didn't started any just launched app.

nice as i am

Do you have the android SDK and avaibility to see the trace of the app ?
My problem is that I plug this app to the music service. This music service has not the same name with htc (because of sense) than in basic android device.
I look the name of the device to choose.
If the name, or the service has changed because of a custom rom, it can be a problem.
Do you have HTC sense on this ROM ?
I will try to look deeper into the device to make this choice... I let you know if I find something.

Can you describe debug proces , never done that before.
I can give you the output of it, maybe it helps.
Tested on hero, works great. It's a really good idea - I'm surprised nobody else thought of it first.
Also, I know this is the wrong part of the forum, but I figured since the dev checks this anyway, and to save time for myself, I'd post here. Tried on N1, force closes when I try pressing buttons.
can't test it for now
but does this app works if i uninstalled the default HTC music player??
@cyberniko,
Don't know what happend but i'm unable to reproduce that FC that i had.
I'll keep you posted.
great job!
Nice. I like this better than the stock
so i test it yesterday, and don't seems to work fo me (i recall that i uninstalled htcMusic.apk )
the app is running but saying that playlist is empty with no way to edit it (or i'm totally blind )
Hello!
I want to know if somebody know good program to download the good image for the singer/album for the music´s i have im my HD2.

its good if it always like this:
and i want (if its possible) program put automaticaly good image in music i have, without image.
thanks in advance
Dont know about doing it automatically but if you download the cover art off the internet and then rename and/or edit it to "folder.jpg", then place this image in the album's folder then the sense music player will use it as the cover art for all tracks in that album folder.
there is an update album art in the menu when looking at the music player. tends to work best when connected to wi-fi. has worked for all my albums.
Mike
my problem its i have lot of music alone, its not from album, its just one music from singer, and already try update in menu , even with wi-fi and dont work good!
it does give you the option to update song now playing - have you tried that?

U can do it on pc or instal this app on hd2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687830&highlight=Mp3+tag+editor
Use Media Monkey 3 or Tidy Songs. There not free, but they have a trial for both products. I used Media Monkey cuz its cheap, $15 for Gold. You load your file of MP3, to the right click search Web for Info.. sure enough it finds all the albums to that artist. select right one if the label mp3 was unclear. now it fills in all the details and replaces mistyped. Sometime you even get a choice what quality art work you want to attach inside the tag. I had completed 1,500 songs. It cleaned up my album so an artist wasn't misspelled and in 4 separate folders in my sense player.
I use Mp3 tag, you can set all the album art and embedd it into the mp3 file, you can do albums at a time, but it does take a while. Once youve done it though, you will never have the problem again
MP3 tag its good option, but give little work to do. but already start!
thanks ★
aoakes With Media Monkey 3 and Tidy Songs update the music i have, or just its possible download from there with good info?
tidy songs i already try one time, but in few songs put wrong image and info.
thanks for help too!
negawolf mp3 tag editor surch automatically info and images for music?
THANKS to everybody!!!
if somebody have more solutions i apreciate!
Real annoying. I try different custom roms to see if it is fixed but i think clearly it is ANOTHER BUG with 2.3.3? and the list goes on lol.
can you please elaborate on the music bug?
what do you mean by breaking the music into 4 chunks?

I thought I was clear enough. There are some albums that are in one folder than you have some that are in 3 or 4 folders instead of one

edit your MP3 tags
that will put them all into the same folder
Yeah you need to make sure both Album Artist and Artist are the same in your MP3 tag.. I had the same problem when updated to 2.3.3
I noted this as well. Seems to be a bug with media server. (N1 with CM7)

It splits my albums in two. The ID3Tags are all consistent and it only happens with a couple of albums, not all of them. I spent some considerable time analyzing my ID3Tags but I could not find anything wrong with them.
I have the same problem after updating to 2.3.3. I couldn't find anything wrong with the ID3 tags of the files. Things I've tried:
Cleared the music application data.
Copied the album name and artist name from one of the songs in that album to all the ID3 tags of the songs in that album.
Replaced all album art in the ID3 tags to a fresh image to all songs in that album.
Included CD numbers and track numbers on ID3 tags.
Removed composer credits on ID3 tags.
The albums are still split.
Same happened to me.
I tried importing to ipod via itunes but got the same problem.
So it seems the problem is indeed with the ID3 tags.
I tried checking the tags, fixing 1 by 1.
Nothing helped really.
Finally I just rewrote all the common ID3 tags with mp3tag (besides track name and number), and it was fixed.
Well, just found how to fix the bug.
I tried checking all the tags with iTag for android but everything was ok, so i downloaded mp3 tag for windows and noticed something interesting.
In one of those duplicated albums(Alesha Dixon - The Alesha Show) i noticed that everything whas the same except Album Artist, which was empty in the separated one and didn't appeared in iTag, i put the same artist and 1,2,3,.. for the tracks and got it fixed:
The thing is, in 2.3.2 it only reads Artist and Album but in 2.3.3 it also reads Album Artist, if it is empty or all the songs have the same artist everything is ok, but if there is something different then it will split that album
For those people on Android V2.3.3, does the Album Artist tag correctly, i.e. it won't take the album artist as being the artist of every track on the CD?
This happened on the X10 and the Galaxy S on Android V2.1 and it's quite frustrating for me.
For example.
A compilation mixed by "Artist A" (this is who I tag as the Album Artist) will cause a song made by "Artist B" to appear as "Artist A"'s song.
This issue looks like it could cause a world of hurt for my tagging method...or perhaps it will make the Album Artist appear correctly on the album when going through the library and the Artist itself appear correctly when going through the player which is something I've always wanted.
I've been trying different ones out. So far I can't see why they'd be preferred to the stock player or Google Music Beta (same thing).
I use poweramp for my own personal music collection...
I use Doubletwist. Google Music is too laggy for me, and Winamp messes up my album lists (multiple artists in some of my albums causes the album to show up multiple times).
I don't stream or sync music or any of that jazz so I usually just download the AOSP music player in the market plus cover art downloader to find any stray album art... It plays music, shuffles my songs, layout's simple and you can't go wrong with voodoo sound I usually just drop music on my sd card (about 4gb worth now) to listen to
ive tried them all and i think this one is the best "playerpro music player"
I just use the stock Google Music Player. I'll admit it sucks but I'm not going to pay for PowerAMP, got the demo and wasn't impressed. That should say something considering I have 16gb of music on my phone and use my Charge to listen to it every day
I use PlayerPro for listening to music on my Droid Charge. I don't use the stock music player since it is unable to remember what was last playing after the phone is rebooted (or the program fully exits and restarts). That means it won't remember what song was playing in a particular playlist, and won't even remember what playlist it was in. That is a big fail in my book.
When I listen to music on my phone, I use the TW music player. It has lock screen controls (which other have as well), but it also lets me control it from the notification area, so I don't have to leave whatever app I'm in just to change the track or pause it.

trying this one out..thanks
Hi folks, I come today with a bug that has been plaguing me for the past few months. I've tried my hand at troubleshooting this myself, but it's just leaving me scratching my head.
Basically I'm experiencing a very strange issue with transferring mp3's to my Nexus 5. It's persistent, too. It happens to about maybe 7% of my library. I have everything tagged as I desire in iTunes (I know, I know... still a holdout from my iPhone days). All the file names correct, song orders good, album artwork displayed, all as I want them to be. I use doubleTwist's Windows app to help me sync my music to my phone - it's integration with iTunes has been very helpful in getting my music over.
The problem is that, while everything on my own computer looks good, when transferred, about 7% of my music ends up with strange, incorrect metadata. That means the artist is often ending up as ??????, songs with Japanese characters are losing their titles sometimes to ???'s and sometimes to random keyboard mashings. The error is not consistent. Sometimes the albums are transferred with everything but their album artwork. Sometimes they're missing their artwork and artist. Sometimes the songs lose their names.
Often (though not always), when the error occurs the songs end up on my Nexus with *old* metadata. In other words, it ends up being transferred with metadata it previously had (usually artist and album name) and sometimes it takes what I currently have it tagged as. Always the songs affected end up without album artwork.
It's happened on every ROM tested, and no matter how many times I try deleting and resyncing my library via different methods, it doesn't work. I won't list out every troubleshooting method I've tried (there have been a lot), but I've tried transferring my music manually to witness it in action. Here's an example of that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is the same mp3 transferred by a simple drag-and-drop operation. The transfer stripped it of its artist name, album title, song title, and album artwork.
I thought it might be a bug with unicode transferring, but even renaming the file, title, etc. to use exclusively ASCII did not work. I've tried retagging them in different programs and while it transferred with different information, it still failed to transfer these songs with the proper metadata.
TL;DR... Transferring mp3s onto my Nexus 5 leads to about a 7% chance of it being stripped of its correct metadata and replaced with either old or incorrect metadata. Have tried numerous tests to try to determine cause, but cannot find any consistencies. At my wits end for the problem.
EDIT: I also just tested it on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 that I got yesterday and, to make matters more confusing, the problem does not exist there. So the problem is exclusive to the Nexus 5...
