hi guys
I'm using an ics rom (nexusbeam 4.1) and that's my little problem:
in music players some albums are not displayed but i've copied them inside the phone memory like the others that are displayed??
with root explorer I see in the same folder all the albums but when I open music apps some albums are not present :-o
Thanks for helping!!

Are the albums you don't see inside their own folder or with songs from other albums? They might be under the album named after the folder. Do a search for the filename/song, too.
Edit: Also note, this is probably the case if there is no ID3 tags on these particular songs/albums.

thanks friend but i'm having a look at my albums
they are all ordered rightly 'cause I've always used to listen to them before even using music apps in my nexus...
as you can see in the pics they are all in folders but in my music apps they are not all displayed...
Odd. Have you tried clearing the cache for the music app?

thanks a lot for helping me; i've had some tries but with no luck
Search the market for "Cover Art Downloader" (sorry I can't post links yet )
I had a similar problem and I was able to use this app to "force" music player apps to recognise cover art, either by downloading what it thought was the correct artwork or in my case picking images off the SD card. Worth a try!

will give a try right now
I just used the free version - my issue was slightly different to yours in that Winamp was using the wrong album art for albums and no amount of cache clearing or messing with IDv3 tags would fix it, this app fixed it for me. Hope it works!

here's a link to MediaMonkey. I have been using it since 2006 and never needed anything else (except itunes of course). There are many apps out there that will allow you to get the cover art automatically on the Xoom. Many are listed here.
no luck for that. any elase suggestion? thx =)

Maybe you can specify more clearly what exactly you want to do? Cubed from the market lets you fetch album art from the internet on the Xoom.
Out of interest does it rely on album art being embedded in mp3's or is there a naming convention for a jpeg image in the same folder?

I was curious how it set the album art myself. I have a lot of random tracks that were just assigned a random album art image from one of my other albums. It has nothing to do with the other tracks and they are named in no way similarly.
personally i put tracks ina folder by album and put the pic in the folder. works for me, so yes that means if i have a single it goes in its own folder
Very often programs will use the picture from "cover.jpg" or "folder.jpg" (substitute jpg with gif if necessary) when placed in the appropriate folder with the music files. I haven't tried it though since my files have the covers in the tags...
Try MP3tag.
Browse to your music folder > Select all the files by pressing Crtla + A > Right click on the the empty white box on the left panel and select add cover > Select the .jpg cover and click save on the top left hand corner.
Now i have searched and searched about this problem, and the only answer i get is "Clear the data", which fixes the problem the first time i open it, but everytime after that i still have the flicker problem. It won't let me pick music because its like it just keeps reloading all my music over and over again and won't stop. Does anyone have a solution that sticks? I love the stock music player and i use Google Music Beta so i don't want to switch players, Thanks!
Hi, the app seems to do this when you add more music to your collection.
It's the application re-checking the contents of the folders, is all your music on the MicroSD card?
If so, safely remove it (tap the icon next to the clock) and remove the card from the slot.
Then remove the app data (application settings), then re-insert your card and re-start the music app, it will take a little while to re-read the MicroSD card, they are not the fastest things around.
I have 117 folders with 1578 files which amounts to 10.96G it takes just under a minute to rescan all the folders and rebuild my library.
The only issues I had with the stock player is the extreme way it manages the albums based on the mp3 tag info, it will give you a separate folder / album if the album artist is missing from some tracks.
I fixed mine on the tab with an app called iTag, it worked rather well.
Hope this helps in some way.
Thanks for the reply! all my music is actually on the internal sd of the transformer because I just got my micro sd card a week ago and have had my tablet for a while, so i already had music loaded on.
Mine does the flickering too in 3.2 stock, the version of the app is 3.0.2, were can I download the 3.0.1 apk to downgrade the app?

Sorry, man. Someone mentioned using an app called iTag to fix their issue, but I'm not sure exactly how it helped. Believe he said it had something to do with artist's names not matching up.
I've found that listing by song has no flickering involved, so gonna keep it that way until I (or someone else) either figures it out. Not much of a fan of some of the other players, so.
You should make sure all your ID3 tags are clean. For example, if you have a song artist that is Metallica and some of the files the artist name is Metallica and some are names MetallicA, where a simple case adjustment can help alleviate the issue. You need to also make sure that if one artist album has 15 songs and only 14 of them have cover art it will freak the player listing out like it's doing. Make sure all your ID3 tags are clean and precise and they all have the same cover art for each of the albums.

thanks Ill give it a try, does it embed the art ? cause I use album art grabber and it also searchs automatically for all the music but the problem is with the music files it doesnt find, i got to search manually for those
MediaMonkey an connect your phone too your Usb/Pc
It sounds like your mp3 tags are corrupted if you get MediaMonkey an connect your phone too your Usb/Pc an use MediaMonkey to fix the tags the problem should be fixed for ever An that app you use can fined your art from then on. I would fix all the tags too to be sure while your at it.
Itunes may work to but the fruit is fickle it can get confused
hve u ever tried uber music..????

Remember ..... if you have already album art..... when you going to flash another rom , don't forget to delete media folder from sd card,,,,,.......
because of that even you had album art music cannot show your mp3 album art
Don't lazy to delete media folder
If your tags are messed up it doesn't matter what apps you use

Ya i no but if your tags are messed up it doesn't matter what apps you use they need the right tags too work right. So if you use MediaMonkey only when you have to or when you download your music (too your Pc or Phone) you can tag them once and forget. If you download your music too your phone you only have to do it when the tags are messed up once and forget an then any app will work. Also MediaMonkey will remember all your tags for Winamp/Itunes and a few other music programs. So if your SDcard gets messed up all your music is saved an tagged/Art (if you save them on your harddrive in the MM File). So even if you are the ultimate procrastinator (like me) or Lazy you still have to fix your tags once in awhile for any Art app/programs to work right.
Cover Art Downloader is not a Mp3id tagger and that is what you/he needs.
I'm not promoting any one app/program this is just the program i use an like an there are more out there that work and are free.
thanks for all your replys, I will try everything mentioned here .
Ill report back once Im done and check wich method was the best
I'll suggest you to use miui roms, with miui music... first download all the album arts manually and then do a muiu backup for music(data) that would save your album art but it will only work if your changing only between miui roms
Send from my X10 running Miui 1.10.8 using the XDA App.... *****es!!! x)

I've seen that behavior on stock UCLE2 as well after flashing a rom or restoring nandroid backup.
Solution is to delete the db files in /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases and then reboot. Media scanner will then rebuild the media indexes.
After doing a lot of searching and reading, I found the above reply in another thread. This is the same problem I am having with my music files. I tried the fix mentioned, removing the db files and rebooting. This works great and rebuilds the database so only one instance of a file is displayed. Until the next time you reboot, when the duplication starts over again. Does any one know of a permanent fix to this issue.

When I go in astro file manager>Android>data>com.android.providers.media Only album thumbs is available. This is on my internal SD and my music is saved to my external SD. Is this where the duplicate files are coming from? So do I delete the album thumbs folder?
Another option is to simply point music folder library to where you know it is. I sync to external sd with double twist, so when I use another player just limit music directory to the folder you sync to.

So I installed jelly bean when it came out. (Codename Android 3.6.0 at the time of writing, but the problem persists regardless of the specific rom I'm using). I noticed that none of the music players available in the play store can find my music on my sd card. They are all in a folder named mp3, but I even tried renaming it to music - no luck. Also, the only pictures I can see in my gallery are the ones that have been made since the installation of the current rom. Does anyone have an idea how to force the mediascanner to actually scan my media? Damn, I want my media so bad

I have no idea why your music isn't being picked up. That's usually never an issue. Maybe someone else can chime in.
As for the gallery pictures not showing up. Just download Quick Pic from the Play Store. The default Android Gallery has been crying to be put of out of its misery for awhile now. It's terrible and slow. Yes, you can transfer pictures to your device and the gallery will take 5 minutes to eventually display them. Quick Pic is superior and will instantly pick up any pictures you add. No waiting involved.

Thank you for the tip, QuickPic actually solved my gallery issue, what still remains is the music list not showing up in any of the players I have tried... (Winamp, Google Play Music, Apollo, just to name a few)
check if one of the apps in use is the media scanner in a constant state of reboot.
media scanner problems often are caused by malformed jpeg file, the bug usually lies in the Exif information, you can use this tool (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/BatchPurifier.html) to remove Exif information from the file, 95% chance that everything returns to work including music and video because the media scanner is shared and if it hangs on jpeg images then can not catalog other multimedia files.
you will lose data such GPS position but the photo itself will remain intact, many have pointed at Camera360 as one of the sources of these corrupted files and I can confirm that.
I got a similar issue before and is solved by copy all media to a pc, delete the files in the phone, then move them back, see if it can help you

If it's not fixed completely, run a search on your sdcard for files named ".nomedia" and delete them.

Alrighty. Just make sure there are none at the root of the SDcard or in folders where you want pictures to appear. Clockworkmod ROM Manager had a bug back a lil while ago where it put some .nomedia files in wrong folders, making people unable to find their music/picture.

Go to your apps, find Media Storage, and then clear data & cache.
Download Rescan Media from the play store and run it. Wait for a bit (5 minutes should be good) and if you check in your music player(s) you should be able to see your music.
database or cache that the media scan builds is gone

I have done that and everything works fine. BUT! after a battery change or charge (plug in USB cable) the database or cache that the media scan builds is gone. Deleted or corrupted by something. Its back to the same state, no music, video, added ringtones or pics show until a rescan. What could be deleting it?
