Major problem with albumart on the Zune and its software.

This is an underlying issue that has plagued the Zune for the past 3 versions. to me is major. to the average mp3 listener prob not so much. Either way there is nothing you can do. Album art is a factor in mp3's now. The Zune cannot read or display embedded albumart! It relies on pics from the internet that may or may not correspond to that reticular mp3. these pictures are downloaded to a folder, without you knowing it. Ruining the way you organize your songs and files. Despite the calls, emails and pleas. there was nothing done for the new version, 4.0/3.2. and no plug-ins. Also from what i found. this Zune device is..."Unhackable"

have you tried saving a pic straight from like google thats what i do then just edit and save

and i havent tried what you did but it seems like you made it worse

@niffleheim3399 I did. though I metadata tag all my mp3s using 3rd party software. Zune doesn't like what/how I tag it, so zune is making it worse....not me.

@niffleheim3399 I did, but It wasn't saved by me. it was generated and copied to the folders by the zune software.

It's correct to say that album arts are attached or linked to a corresponding mp3 and to fix your problem all you need to do is to copy all of your album arts from your original mp3's and paste them into your zune folder you showed. To see the album art attached to a corresponding album you have to change folder settings to show you hidden files. once you do this you'll be able to see all of "embedded" album arts and paste them back where they belong. this is never happened to me with the zune

First of all: if you dont like the video, dont fucking watch it, and dont leave a negative comment about how retarded i and/or my video is! second your both wrong. not 1 of my mp3s has a hidden jpeg associated with it. All my mp3s are metadata tagged. programs like media monkey, itunes, winamp work great. and i honestly have nothing bad to say. if i could use them injunction with my zune it would be great. but the zune is locked from any real tweaks or software to make it better, or different.

sorry next time i will make it wide screen, to fit the video window.

Can't you just directly save artwork from google images? OR can't you use windows media player, put all the artwork on there, then sync it directly to the Zune?

[niffleheim3399]

@scalp340 but didnt you delete album art you had saved

[Alxmir23]

the zune software sucks major ass.makes syncing music a pain in the ass

changing tags and etc

[fhunkydelix]

I HATE zune software! it replaced all my music files tags with its own tags! a real pain in the ass! giving false information

[fhunkydelix]

Wait doesn't Zune Software have a database of album art? I also have a problem with that then i try using find album info then it searches on what I think other users have with a similar album and it copies the track title and of course the album art on what it searched on but i was disappointed that it was not hi-res! and the copying of the track titles also replaces the raw file which can make a mistake. doesn't zune have a collection of album art like iTunes?

Zune sucks!!!!! iPod has better stuff. Jail breaking is amazing. Free shit 4 life!!! The zune. U really need a computer 4 that peaice of shit!!! iPod touch u don't need a computer 2 get ur songs and movies it's on the iPod. And the iPod touch can go on YouTube e. If it's jail broken u can get flash player.

I don't know about yours, but mine displays the album art I had set to them. I changed them up a long time ago in itunes, and when I switched over to zune and loaded up all my music files from itunes, it used the album art that was assigned to all the songs. IE: A muffin for a song about muffins.
