Album Art

MP3 players Sansa Fuze

I used Mp3tag to attach the album art to the music, I made the art 120x120 and named it AlbumArt.jpg. I also left it in the folder when I put it on the mp3 player, and used drag and drop. So why won’t it show up?

Try Folder.jpg in the album folder.

Album art.jpg  works.  You forgot the space between them.

If I understand you correctly, you may be trying to cover all your bases, resulting in over-kill and confusing the player.

MP3Tag will embed the album art into the ID3 tag. You have to do this for each track of an album. When you add an image to the album ‘folder’ titled ‘album art.jpg’ (note the space pointed out by Sansafix?), this same (1) image will be displayed for all the tracks in that album folder.

Sounds like you did both. One of the other will work. Both will confuse the wee brain of the device.

Personally, I prefer the 1 additional image file over embedding an image into each track. That can add up wasting space better used for music.

I saved it as “AlbumArt.jpg” without the space because all of the songs that the album art actually showed up with were already embedded when I got the mp3 and were either named “AlbumArt.jpg” or “AlbumArtSmall.jpg”
