Music Album Cover Art Issues-HELP!!

[Rivest]

I'm not sure what the hell I did, but every song I have on my SD card show the exact same album cover in my media player. I have went into my SD card and deleted my songs and put them back, still the same.

There is likely a thumbnail folder that you can delete to reset things.

I would try going into: "Settings > Applications > Manage applications" then go over to the "All" tab and find the HTC music app (there may be a stock Android one, but I'm rooted and don't see it) and clear the data and cache.

That should force it to refresh the album covers.

 

[Rivest]

Thanks for the advice. However, I've looked for a folder and there wasn't one. I even went ahead and deleted all folders I didn't know what they were. I also cleared the date for the music app (am using the default internal app) and still face the same issue.

 

[illwood]

That's unfortunate.

Have you tried the last ditch method of rebooting the device?

The only other thought I have is that the album image often get added to the ID3 tag of the mp3. Have you verified that the mp3s don't have the same image in their ID3 tag?

 

[Rivest]

Yes. I have performed a hard reset several times. It happened when I added some Weezer songs. I'm thinking that might have something to do with it. However, I do not have those songs on my PC anymore, so If I delete them they are gone for good.

 

[illwood]

Well, I would be sure to copy those songs back to a PC before deleting them on the EVO. No use wasting good Weezer

So are the problematic songs still on the EVO? If you were to copy the songs off the EVO on to a PC and then delete them. Add a different song, what does the album artwork look like?

 

[Rivest]

I did as you said. Deleted all Weezer from my SD card (backed up on PC). And still all album covers show as Weezer.

Man, you're doing a good job of stumping me today.

There are some album art apps in the market that you could try. I'm out of suggestions for the time being. I'll post up if I think of anything.

 

[Rivest]

Thanks. I will give those a try. Thanks for your help.

This is probably not the ideal solution, but you can install ? and use it to download album art for each album. Most of the downloaded album should carry over to the stock music player, if you decide to continue using that.

I have a problem similar. On mine it shows the same Eazy-E on almost everything. Just started doing it a few weeks back, kinda annoying but im just glad my music is fine.

How did you get the music on the phone? Originally I used the HTC sync software on only my mp3 had album art, my wma files did not. To get the covers to show up, I deleted all the songs off the phone and then transfered them using the drop and drag method and all the covers showed up.

I may have a solution... Make sure you have artist and album information when you import your songs. If you have one track that has 'unknown album', once you load artwork on that track, it will show up on *all* tracks that have 'unknown album' .Even if you delete the track and reimport it, it will still have the same artwork that has originally been attached to the 'unknown album' You may have to delete those tracks and reimport them with the the artist and album information. This way the phone will properly sort them out and attach the proper artwork that goes with each album. Hope this helps!!

I'm using Gtunes for my music... Everytime I upload a new song I use an app called Album Art Grabber to fetch the cover art. Works great because it gives you two different search engines to find the art. It's always found the cover art, even obscure music is recognized.

Mines Does This Also ! What I Do Is download the cover art downloader and remove the cover art from the song that it was downloaded with and it goes away . If You Delete The Song It Will Stay There .

You are a legend, so helpful. Have been stuck with this forever thanks man

What you need to do is attach your phone to the your computer and if you have the right album artwork with that track,in your windows media player, then drag the correct the album artwork with the track on it into the sync list and press start sync, to it to your phone, then in your phone delete the tracks with the album artwork you don't need

I've tried that app but kit Kat doesn't let the cover art go to the songs

 

[MarkJoshuaLo]

I think i have solution...dont create another folder and put your music in it, inside your defult music folder

Why hasn't anyone added an app where you can fully deleted embedded art work? I want fx manager or another manager to be able to do this task without the need to link to a computer. Luckily poweramp app you can override it's album art by searching correct one but I don't think it's not something you can save for when you buy new phone or take out memory card.
