Cover Art?

---

Does anyone know how TF3D loads cover art? Only a couple of my songs ever seem to have any art visible...

Ok; I've figured out how TF3D displays cover art - it completely ignore the hidden "AlbumArt**" files created by a WMP synch and uses the album art "embedded" in the file itself. Copying album art into your clipboard and "pasting" it in WMP (Right click on a song and left click on "Paste Album Art") tags the file with the album art in such a way that TF3D shows it. The next question then is how to do that en masse... Any suggestions?

It also picks up the folder.jpg file so if you keep that in each album's folder, you'll have all your album art.

Not work for me...

I'm putting my music into folders divided to Artist and in each artist folder there are folders with albums and music.
For example:

\Internal Storage\Music\Dream Theater\Falling Into Infinity\files.mp3

and for cover art:
\Internal Storage\Music\Dream Theater\Falling Into Infinity\Falling Into Infinity.jpg


But no covers.
What I'm doing wrong?

I don't want to put all my music into one folder! And all mp3 tags in files are OK.

OK, after a lot of experimentation, these are the steps that work perfectly for me.

1. Open WMP
2. Select all songs in the album, then right click -> Find Album Info
3. Select the appropriate information; this will define the album art
4. Select Sync and drag the album there
5. Synchronize
6. Reset Diamond

Voila - your album should be on the phone, with the album art as well.

Good luck!

Thanks, but I don't want use WMP for managing my music files. I'm looking for simple solution, without playlist, just to put files to any place i want, put jpg file with album cover and that is it. Just copy/paste. Without syncing with WMP and all other crap players.

You haven't bothered reading the Sticky thread on reading my articles before asking questions, have you? I've answered your q at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415063 , which is also a sticky thread...

All in all, create a Folder.jpg and that's all.

You don't need to sycn with the desktop WMP to have album art either - simple file copy will make sure it's transferred to the handset. Again, I recommend my dedicated bible.

You could have saved the time spent on experimenting by just reading my dedicated bible

Quite a comprehensive article that is... Thank you.

The most important step after copying the files is RESET! For some deep reason, it won't update all the images if you don't do that.
