What's easiest way to add album art to music on phone? Is there a software that will scan through the songs and download album art for it specifically?? Thanks

If you have you albums seperated in their own folders, you can just drop the album art in the folder and name it Folder.jpg, then it will show that image for every song in the folder.

Thanks for that tip but I'm really looking for a Mobile app that will update any MP3 that does not have album art. I found an app called Flipside which will update album art for you but it doesnt seem to make the change system wide.
ah well, the search goes on..........

I use MediaMonkey on my PC desktop - it'll add album art for all tracks on an album - then I copy the album folder, complete with album art, to the storage card on my Touch.

here's a link for MediaMonkey (FREE APP):

yup....that's that I've been up to, sure wish there was a mobile equivalent.
Flipside media player has the ability to add album art but the files do not retain the the info in other players.

Does Fixtunes or MediaMonkey get your art to show up in iTunes at all? I can rarely get album artwork to download directly from the iTunes Store and I am unable to get iTunes Artwork Importer .9.0.3 to work in Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Something to do with the .NET framework that I can't figure out ... ah well ...

YES, if you add album art using Media Monkey, it WILL show up when you play the album in Itunes. I just tried it. But remember, you can also listen to your tunes in Media Monkey, and the album art will show there, too.
