Music Player - Album Art Thumbnails

4 replies · 4,106 views · Started 27 October 2009

Has anyone noticed that the thumbnail preview of album art in the music player browser doesn't display for some music files. The album art shows in the main player if you play the track.

I'm guessing the attributes of the image might have something to do with it, but haven't found a common denominator amongst the album art that doesn't show up.

Anyone have any ideas?

Overall I quite like V20, the kinetic scrolling works well for me, haven't seen any improvement on c drive space, and have had a couple of out of memory errors which I never got before, but overall I think the phone feels snappier.

Not a bad update IMO

Do you just have the album art files in your album folder or are the included in the tags of each file. I always include them in the tags and have no problem.

I've noticed the inconsistency with the album artwork too, i have album artwork tagged with all my music just using itunes and some comes up and some doesn't on my N97. With v20 its better but still not right....

Sorry for late response... been away

All my artwork is stored in id3 tags, and shows up on all other music player devices and on the pc no problem

Dammit, can't nokia get anything to work properly.

maybe the artwork ist too large?
I have over 1200 songs on my N97 and haven't had any problem like this. Album art is consistently 300x300 px and they were all tagged with the same software.
