HELP!
Since i tinkered with my phone settings, my playlist was removed.
I checked on my songs, they're still stored. However, when I play a song, I noticed that the artist's name is now written in all caps. I checked on the albums, every album is stored under an all-caps artist name.
Example: All songs by Jennifer Lopez are now read with caps - JENNIFER LOPEZ.
this has not happened before and it annoys me. she's my fave artist. thats why i want to correct this. i tried removing the whole folder (containing 61 songs), then putting it back, to no avail
please help. thanks
why don't you try PowerAmp? That's better than the default music player

I have a big problem with it.
Yesterday, it showed me wrong album arts for most of the albums. Today, it doesnt show the album covers, even tho I have them embedded in the ID3 tags of the mp3s. At the same time, all other players show the album arts properly.
I have also placed AlbumArt.jpg in each of the folders, so I removed them to see if there is some kinda conflict between the jpg in the folder and the ID3 embedded art, but its the same.
I tired uninstalling n reinstalling. I also searched for some kinda data/database on the SD card related to the cubed player, but cudnt find.
Plz help me.
I have the same problem.
Long tap on the image and you will get a list of optional images that are available.
The ID3 image should always be first - there is a setting to always use the ID3 image but a recent update seems to have broken that setting.
Cheers

This issue was solved long back when I chose "Get album art" in the menu. It assigns the ID3 tags properly after doing that.
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

hi. new to android (ex-ios). been using it for near a couple weeks now. loving it by the way, don't know why i hadn't switched long ago. i would like your input on how to transfer my music from itunes to my android device, along with the album art and all the id3 tags and all. i've spent long periods of time over the years organizing my music in itunes with album art, artist name, track/song name, additional info and wouldn't want to go through the whole process again. is there an easy, relatively easy way to do this? i tried transferring one album by airdroid, then opening it in poweramp, but it switched out artist and album names (album name was identified as artist and vice versa) and no album art. please help. any help will be highly appreciated. thanks.
I am running Bubbleupnp and i love it.. streaming music to my TV from my computer controlled by my phone is amazing.
a am also running XBMC for movies and TV shows.
So my question is.
What library options do i have.
options i am looking for
I would like the library to gather album and artists data much like xbmc does
I would also like a library that could check the songs DNA to find the correct name
I would like the library to be able to edit the files data to include artist/album/genre info ect.
I would LOVE a library that will delete duplicate files
I would like the library to edit the names of music to just the song title
I would like the library to manipulate the source library by changing music folders around and putting every song by the same artist in the same folder.
i currently have over 10,000 songs and only about 5000 of them are in folders. some folders are albums, some are artists, some are compilation albums (like "Misc Dubstep") and some songs i have edited by cutting off intros or long stupid outros thus removing all artist data but the songs are still recognizable by DNA...
My library has been growing and getting more and more chaotic over the last 10 years or so. its become too much of a task to even attempt this myself.
I know there are programs that will do what i want... just not sure if there is an all inclusive Library Managment software outthere that i am unaware of. i would love to stop seeing [ ? ] icons when i stream upnp music to my phone or tv
What are my options
OK found some software and tried it out
MediaMonkey seemed good up front.. thought i had it with that one.. turned out that its more manual then automated. I clicked a file to edit and clicked on tracks with unknown artists... went to the search and hit apply.. and it changed teh album cover art, album, and artist to about 60 songs but put them all as Bach Cello suites.
after some research i did it wrong but the right way is more tedius. clicking one track at a time and updating the info you want.
so.. screw that program.
Then i found a program by accident when looking for help with the MediaMonkey called MusicBrainz
this is where its at...
now.. i dont know that it does Videos such as movies but i am more interested in the music..
So opened up and pretty straight forward..
i went into my music folder and searched for all files over 1mb (Size>1MB in the search) and moved all my music out of its containing folders
I then scrapped the leftover folders and random junk left.
Set MusicBrainz to the input folder
set the output folder to my normal music location
and set it to create folders with artist names and label the sons with only their song titles (%Artist%/%title%)
it took about 2 hours to run through the music and update the id3 tags
then that was all done the completed items go into the right pane of the program.
i selected all of them and hit save.. and boom.. its been pumping out folders for about
2 hours now with just the Artist name and no album folders. the way i like it.
I would recommend if your computer is not top notch do not try to do 10,000+ songs at once... my comp runs about 3grand 32gigs of ram and a quad core4ghz and my computer was boggin at times. also the program stopped responding if i messed with it too much.. i would recommend doing it in batches of 500 or 1000 at a time.
hope this helps someone else.. was super easy

Help with ID3 Tagging
Hi,
I am sure that this isn't the proper place to post this question,
but I need somebody's help!
Please take a look at the attached screenshot,
I accidently tagged Eminem's album with a special character "E".
No matter what music player i use to edit the tag, whether it be Poweramp, Rocket Player, Hi Music, or Shuttle Player, I can't seem to get it to go back! I've tried everything!
I've even tried downloading an ID3 Tag editor from the Play Store...several actualy, but for some reason my phone is set on keeping Eminem's Encore album with a special character E.
I even tried deleting the album, booting into recovery, wiping davlik cache and the cache partition, rebooting my device, and re-adding the album, but I still experience the same issue.
Does anybody know how to fix this? An app or a fix for editing tags with special characters? Once I went special character, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to go back.
Please tell me there is a way.
All suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks World!
