Music Album Art

[DEFAULTx]

OK don't know if this is the right forum, is this has been covered already, or if anyone cares but here goes. Just some info I gathered from messing around with the music capabilities of my phone. Hope this helps someone out there.

There are two files that should be in each of you music albums folder if you organize your music in such a way. The file names are folder.jpg & hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg & the dimensions for the pics are 200x200 & 256x256 respectively. If you need an app to resize the pics easily, I recommend you use the MS Power Toy Image Resizer. If anyone can add to this please post.

I already had album art that synced with Windows Media Player, so I just went into each album folder, copied the album art jpeg into the same folder, and renamed the copy "Folder.jpeg". When I started the music tab after soft resetting and went to the library, the phone searched and found all of my album art. Worked very well. If I sync a new song (album) to my phone, I just copy the album art and name it folder.jpeg.

Yeah that works solid, I'm just not a fan of apps like Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc. that sync your music for you. I like to control how my music is organized on my devices. Thanks for the reply that's definitely a super easy way to get the album are setup. The only thing I noticed from just having the album art file sitting in there regardless if it's the correct size or not is that when I'd flip thru albums the pic would take a while to show.

I followed a guide that recommended Media Monkey...Actually it injects the album art into the music file automatically.

What is the advantage of doing this vs. just putting the cover art in each folder as a single .jpg? Seems to work fine for me.

Sometimes you need to copy the song file somewhere else and you don't copy the album art. It injects it so you never have to worry about the picture getting lost.

What your saying works fine for me after I do a scan with Windows Media only
