Manually change album cover on Android Music app

blacblu · 19 Jan 2014 at 22:39

I have an album on which the songs do not have the "Album" tag filled. Therefor it doesn't use the cover.jpg image on the root of the album folder.

The app still says that all the songs on this folder are from the same album (as it should). But I cannot find a way to make the app use the cover.jpg on the folder root as album cover.

I am using an unlocked Galaxy S4.

Play Music? Add it via the web site.

Better idea, use Mp3tag on the PC to add the album art to all the music files. I use this to tidy up the music tags before placing it on my phone.

These songs are .wav

... Why .wav? If you want them lossless then I would convert them to a .flac instead, .wav tags aren't really standard so may not properly show up on certain devices/software.

I use a free app called album art grabber and it works really well. It adds 95% of covers automatically and the ones it doesn't, it's just a couple of taps to search for them in the built-in search. You don't even have to type.

oh and I use one called MP3DIT to mess around with files, group them as albums etc. You can mess around with track numbers etc etc
