I have a problem with album art of albums with the same name.
I have 4 albums with the name "Greatest Hits" from 2Pac, Bill Withers, Guns N' Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers; all of them have the album art from Bill Withers' album.
Same problem with the album "Awake" which I have from Godsmack and Skillet; the album art is from Skillet's album.
I noticed that if I delete all the music from my SD card and re-copy it, the problem persists but the album art might be from another album with the same name (rather than what I mentioned before).
All the mp3 tags were manually filled by me (including album art) and they appear correctly on my PC. I have a Motorola Moto E with Android 4.4.4.
Any way to fix this?
Anyone?
Can't be the only one having this problem right?

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.
I am trying to get album art in the Xoom music app. In the music app directions is says to copy the album art picture into the subdirectory with the songs and name it 'albumart.jpg'
music\abba\gold\albumart.jpg
Has anyone else got this to work or any suggestions?
The album and songs show up in the music app but not the album art.
I have re-booted but that did not work.
3g/wifi Xoom.

I have had some issues with the cover art working as well. I downloaded "Cover Art Grabber" from the market and it downloaded and inserted the problem art.
Thanks for the reply. I tried "Cover Art Grabber" and another program but I could not get them to insert the cover art in to the default music app.
What I did do to get it to work was, after in put the 'albumarm.jpg' into the correct directory, I went to Settings/manage apps/ and cleared the data in the music app. After I restarted the music app it found the cover art.

There are a few apps that can do that. Do a search on ID3 and there are apps there that can insert cover art into the Xoom's media database (without having a picture file in the folder). Some of these ID3 apps can also insert covers directly into the MP3/M4A.
I've tried Cover Art Grabber, Cover Art Downloader, AudioTagger Free, MP3 Tagger (I think this can also fix foreign garbled ID3 tags), iTag, DroID3Tagger but I can't tell you which is the best as my Xoom is dead now.
Hi Guys,
I used the free MediaMonkey last night and it worked really well. I removed all the album art info that exsisted and then used the "auto tag from the web" which found the album cover and added it in the correct format. Now all my albums show correctly
Those music's album art that cannot be found by Gracenote, I replace them using pictures from my Photo Album but when I do so not only that song's album art gets changed, the other songs that does not have an album art changes too, how can I stop this problem?
[SOLVED]
The Music's album of a few songs are listed as Music so when I change 1 the others change too.
Hello,
I have a nexus 5 with android 5.01 and google Music version 5.7.1788Q.1634597
i found Music app cannot show the album art of all albums which all has a cover.jpg in the same folder of the music files (flac).
however, i have a xperia sp which has CM11 and same Music version, it can display the all cover art with the same set of folders i put into nexus 5.
anyone has any idea of this problem?
thanks!
Joseph
You can try to change album cover in Windows Media Player and then sync your music.
does anyone else have the problem that some (seemingly) random songs are shown one specific album art image instead of their own?
i dont work with folder, i have every music file tagged with the album art. usually 500x500 pixel. however for some songs android decides to just pick a random album art from another song and show it with them.
