So, I've searched but found no solid answers. Is there any application that hides it from showing in the normal gallery view without it affecting the pictures showing up in the music players. I know of Gallery Lock and another but they hide it completely and don't allow it to show up in the music players as artwork.
tl;dr: want app that hides artwork from the default gallery viewer.

So I have a lot of music that I copied over on my sd card.
Now though all my album art is showing up in the gallery?
Is there any way I can limit what folders are being added to the gallery program? If not, hows do I add music without having it added to it?

You can use a program like media monkey to tag the songs with the corresponding album art and then get rid of the actual picture file.

For the record, I love MediaMonkey and highly recommend it for tagging your songs. It can autotag them, but I prefer to choose my own images and to make sure it tags the right albums, and not a compilation album.
It is rather therapeutic and relaxing, actually.
All the songs That I have on my phone has the same background cover for every songs, how do I remove it ALL? I have sense 3.5 on my phone. RcMix v3.1
Most likely you have a picture saved in your music folder. And since your songs do not have an embedded album art for each song it is using that pic for everything. I myself do not use a hidden jpeg pic for album art. I embed each song's tag with an album art when I rip it. If I have to add an album art for each song after being ripped I use dBpoweramp(not free) or MP3Tag(free).
I use droID3Tagger. It's free in the market and will search for and embed album art into the song.

I will have to check that out fernandezhjr. That may come in real handy.
Edit: DroID3Tagger works well, but only works if the music files are MP3. I also gave another app called Audio Tagger a try and it works well also. Plus it does other formats besides MP3s. Both apps are top notch and will fix up your music library in no time.
Okay, so after painstakingly apply nice album art to my music I load it onto my phone only to find that the stock music player doesn't have large Album art displayed. Instead, they create a small, low res. thumbnail for you.
I came from the Samsung galaxy s phone's stock music player which I thought had a great UI. The only reason I'm wary of installing market players is because they ask for a ton of permissions like viewing my accounts, etc.
Landscape view only makes the album art a bit bigger.
Any suggestions for music players? or am I not using it correctly? And does anyone know if this is Stock Android or Motorola's player?
Doubletwist....by far the best I have used. Gives you great options when phone is locked still have music controls and thumbnail is as big as the screen. Its very nice on this phone.
Also gives u a paid option that scans your music and autoretreives the album art for you.
I know that is possible to put a ".nomedia" file, but this will hidden all content. I want to hidden the photos of the music album that are viewable in the gallery. How can solve this problem?
I'm on jb cm10 custom ROM.

I don't understand. You have some pics in a folder which are the covers you want to hide, but some other pics you want to see in the gallery. Is this right? If so, why don't you create a subfolder for your covers and put a .nomedia into it?

I have a music folder with subfolder with different album. Inside there is music and photos of the album. This permits to show the album's photo in the music player. I don't want to see this photos in the gallery. If I put the nomedia file, I will not see both the music and photos in the player.

I know that Apollo automatically fetches images from the Net for you (I have no images in my music folder and some images are displayed in the music player).
Is this a valid option for you or do you absolutely want the photos that are adjacent to your music files ?
Thanks. I will try. I will post if it works.
EDIT: it works.

Does the solution posted by manquetin work for you?

I have a few album arts in my music folders, but I want to stop them from showing up in the gallery. I tried putting a .nomedia file in, BUT then the big problem is that play music doesn't show my music anymore.
Any ideas how to solve this?
I don't use the stock Gallery app for displaying my pictures. A much more powerful and useful gallery app is QuickPic, which I definitely recommend. On top of many other features, you can choose to exclude specific folders/directories so they don't appear as one of your albums. This should solve your problem.
