hi,
I have a problem with my album list in the player from HTC (the standard player).
i have 3 albums on my sd-cart, 1 album have no problem, but the another 2 have the problem that they stay more than 1 time in the list (see image)
Knows somebody de solution to get all the numbers from that album under 1 album view
Thanks!
Seen that before with my MP3 Players. It was related to the album having different artists for each song, so that when the player would try to sort the albums, it would see them as different ones.
You could try editing the tags of your files so that the artist is the same for each song.
Oke, But what to do if a album have serval artist?
I'm not 100% sure how the HTC music player works but mp3 files typically have ID tags for an album artist and then a track artist. I would try making the "album artist" = Various Artists. See if that helps the music player recognize it as one album.

Thats a good one, i should try!
I have same experience before, it can be fixed by editing the tag, album and song name are from tag, the order of the song also from tag, but it won't display the track# and so I edit each song name with 01, 02 ... also at nearly the bottom of the tag (Windows 7), there something that can separate albums like 1/4, 2/4... if they are different, they will appears in different album.
When you update album art from gracenote, if it doesn't match, recover it to default and choose another song in the album, then update album art according to the song.

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.
Hello,
about a week ago I updated most of my media on my phone with zune social tagger so that most songs had artist backgrounds. These backgrounds showed up on the phone during playback (back then on 7392) and when I played the song in Zune on the PC.
Sometimes I only have single song from an album. If I then searched for the album on the marketplace and found it, it would offer me 30 second snippets of all the songs but the one I have on my phone. Instead, this song would be played from my library without problems and with artist background.
However, since Mango these backgrounds are missing on some songs.
One example is the song "Renegade" from the Jay-Z album "The Blueprint".
I have only this song from the album.
The weird thing is that when I search for album in the marketplace, find it and start to play the tracks, it shows me the artist background.
However, when the track I have on my phone (Renegade) comes up, the artist background disappears.
On the PC the background is still there.
Any ideas?
OK I got a little further.
Apparently with Mango the way the artist backgrounds work has been changed at least a little bit.
The thing that was wrong in the song mentioned above (Renegade) was this:
The song is from a Jay-Z album and is by Jay-Z and Eminem. I had set the artist to this:
Jay-Z; Eminem
However, it was recognized as one artist by Zune and as such the artist of the song would show up as "Jay-Z; Eminem" which is not what I intended.
So I changed the artist tag using Windows Explorer. I first removed all the artist, then wrote in "Jay-Z" and saved, and then wrote in "Eminem" (after the auto generated semicolon) and saved again. I don't really know what's different in the artist tag now but somehow Zune seems to regocnize that there are two artist and only displays the first artist (as it should).
This fixed the missing background for this song.
Additonally, I noticed that songs which are not linked to Zune Marketplace songs now also have artist backgrounds as long as the artist tag is correct and I have an album by that artist on my phone.
For example the album "The Marshall Mathers LP" by Eminem is not in the German Zune Marketplace but I have it on my phone (not linked using zune social tagger).
When I play a song from that album I do have an artist background as long as the artist mp3 tag is set to Eminem (or set to "Eminem; xxx", as long as it is done using Windows Explorer (or probably also WMP etc.)).
However there are still artist backgrounds missing for some music from the device while they show up in the Zune software on the pc and the artist tag is correct.
For these artists I also don't have any backgrounds in when I tap on their names.
Another thing that doesn't work (probably a missing feature) is that when I play all songs by Eminem, Zune does not add songs to the list where Eminem is only the secondary artist (such as Renegade as noted above).
Am I putting the music and artwork in the right place? I cant get any music player to display my artist/song art while the song is playing. Song plays fine just without artwork showing.
I have put it in the external_sd directory and the directory above that one... can't seem to get it to work with any music players.
I have my artwork in a folder labeled as "Album Art". Files inside that folder are named as "artist - song.jpg"
I have another folder labeled as "Music". Files inside that folder are named as "artist - song.m4a"
I have tried having all the files (jpg and m4a) in 1 folder called "Music" .. nothing works... I don't want to embed the pictures ... would take forever .. and I don't want to have separate folders/sub-folders for each artist and album by that artist... as I have lots of one-hit-wonders.
Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated.
Which music player are you using? I tag artwork to the actual metadata of the songs which works flawlessly

I've tried winamp, mixzing, poweramp, android music player, doubletwist... etc.
None of my music has tags.. I have media monkey and Mp3Tag.. what do I do to associate the two files?
ok.. made tags that include artist and title from the filename of the song using mp3tag

If you're using media monkey the best thing is to highlight a album or songs, press shift+enter, then go to artwork and save the photo to the file and not folder. It should work after that
Seems to be working a little better having tags on the music... but when I play songs it shows the first albumart it reads for all songs of the band no matter if the song is from different album... I'm just trying to get it to show the correct albumart for the song playing.. at least it is showing the correct artist for the song now

With media monkey clean out the artwork, go to the artwork tab and delete the ones you don't need and set the correct art to front cover. Make sure if you are doing the shift+enter I mentioned that you are only doing it for albums and not artists or it will put the same xd cover for all songs by artist instead of just the album
I have ALL of my music in just one folder titled "music"... will that still work? .. I'll try it out and report back

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.
