Maybe has something to do with how the files is placed on the player ?

I have tride like this:
Music in: /MUSIC/In Flames - Clayman/
Album Art in: /albums/ClaymanIn Flames.jpg

Will try to put the "In Flames - Clayman" dir in the root when i get home.

Try like this:
Music in: /MUSIC/Clayman/In Flames
Album Art in: /Albums/ClaymanIn Flames.jpg

Make sure the ID tags also match.

I have a SP, i've tried everything and it does not work at all, thats weird.

Works perfect for me. Most of my albums had been working as well syncing with WMP11 through MTP. The ones that didn't had a jpg in the albums folder but wasn't named correctly (didn't have the artist's name). Just added it and it worked like a charm

thanks.

Yeah that worked. But i refuse to move all my music in a new order.
Well i can live with no album art. Never missed it before so

What i do hate is that they still havent fixed an GUI that behaves the same way in movies and music. That is just crap. Get the feeling that one team programed the music player and another made the movie player. AND they dont get to talk to eachother or try the other teams controles

The subfolder thing actually works

In fact, if you put your music in /MUSIC/Foo/Bar/, then the album art used is /Albums/BarFoo.jpg, and that, whatever the tag actually is !

So here is what I've done to have is usable with my way of ordering music, that is every albums in a single "Artist Name - Album Name" folder :

Put the music in /MUSIC/Album/The Offspring - Smash/
Save the album art as /Albums/The Offspring - SmashAlbum.jpg

...and that's it !

So basically the trick is to put all the music in a useless subfolder.

Hope I'm clear enough, and that helps

I too can't get this trick to work on my TP player.
Any TP'ers out here who can?

The only difference in the firmware is the low-level coding concerning the different screens

Also, I forgot to say my player is a TP. Any more luck now for you ?

I think some of you are overlooking or misunderstanding this:

'Edit: Apart from having correct ID-tags, you must also have your songs sorted by Artist/Album, such as: "MUSIC\Red Hot Chilipeppers\Stadium Arcadium"'

you have to put your music into a specific directory in the root MUSIC directory...

"MUSIC\(Artist Name)\(Album Name)"

lOtR that is just genious. It works very well. Thanks!
By the way, for the album art to be 80x80, is that 80px by 80px? Or is it 8mm X 8mm?
