Arc: Unable to read some album art

Sat, 15 Oct 2011 14:33:32 GMT

Hello! I've been using mp3tag to attach album art to my songs, then using Mediago to get them into my phone. The album art shows up on both programs. Weirdly enough, most of the album art can be read but some cannot. Even weirder still is that SOMETIMES the phone displays the art of these albums, but when I connect my SD card to the computer and disconnect it, the art becomes blank. I've checked many topics on the forums and some suggest using smaller file sizes or perfect squares, but the phone manages to read album art that are huge or have weird sizes, so I don't think this is the problem my phone is having. I have tried everything: restarting the phone; removing the album art, disconnecting the phone, re-attaching it; deleting the song file, renaming the song file; changing some of the song file properties... but nothing works.

Any help would be much appreciated because I've been struggling with this for days and am very frustrated. Thank you! :smileygrin:
