Yes. As far as I know the My Library widget only shows cover art for music uploaded to Google Music, not for locally stored music. So if oyu're not in the US, it's not going to work

even i'm outside US, my album art still can be uploaded to google music and display in my music widget.

Its a shame that it wont display albumĀ“s cover locally stored. Its a freaking cool looking widget.

Album art in music widget

I get inconsistent results with music widget auto downloading album art.
Is there a way to manually do this?

The two options I use are putting a .jpg named AlbumArt.jpg in the folder where that album is. Some of my songs have album art embedded in the mp3 in which case they show up fine.

delete data from media storage under the tab "all apps".
reboot, open music player and wait some minutes, til the player rescans the album art.

Hi, I am having the same problem after moving to a new ROM, tried clearing all sort of folders, the update seem to run but does not sense the songs in my SD card. I tried looking for the "all apps" tab but can you tell me where exactly to locate this. I am on Elegancia Sense 4.1 v1.0.0 ROM
Thanks in advance.

So I put .nomedia in my music folders, now how do I get my music to show up!?

I hate how all my music album covers show up in the gallery, so I put a .nomedia file in the folders to prevent the gallery being cluttered. Well, now my music players won't recognize any music files.
Does anyone know how to make music files appear in the player and have no album covers in the gallery?

Have you tried GalleryExcluder from the Playstore? You can hide any image or set of images with it from the gallery.

It looks like this app is no longer in the play store.
Here you go. I pulled a copy from an old backup.

Google Play Music 3x1 Widget

I've done some searching and can't find an answer to this.
With the most recent update to Google Play Music app, the 3x1 widget is no longer re-sizeable for me. Previously, it would re-size to show a large album art picture, now, no matter what size I make it, the album art icon stays small and to the left of the music controls.
Has anyone else seen this or can someone else test to see if they have the same experience?

mtc-music album art

How can I get album art for my music collection in mtcmusic? In poweramp I simply need to hold down on the song and it'll download/display options for album art. I like poweramp but really enjoy the way mtcmusic "integrates" with the home screen (shuts down radio to switch to music and vice versa, but won't if your using power-amp instead of mtcmusic)
thanks
DF
Tasker and a rooted HU can allow any music app to shut off the radio.

I really like Jack's Music Widget, lets you integrate just pure album art to a home screen.

Thank you very much for splending answer!
But my HU Joying (rooted MalayskROM) has same issue.
Do I need any customize after activated Xposed mtc?

I do not understand. Xposed is not used. The music widget may not work with mtcmusic.
I too would prefer to use the built in app if I could work our how to get the Album art to display. I have a 4GB stick full of various albums, they have all been ID3 tagged and have had album art applied through Windows Media player. You can check this by finding the file in its folder, when you click the track the album art should appear in the details pane on the right.
Plus I also dropped a JPEG of the album art into each album folder. Now when I play songs through the Native app some show album art and some don't, but I can't figure out the difference between the ones that do and ones that don't!

Did you ever figure it out?

No!, I have no idea what's going on but I have noticed something else. EVERY album displays album art on the widget on the home screen.
To clarify, if I go into the music app and start playing an album that is not displaying album art. I hit the home button and it does display the art on the widget.
So now I'm even more confused!

@scatamonky, I use Mp3Tag to apply all my cover arts and my OEM player shows the covers always, give it a try make couple mp3's with cover art and see if it shows: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
By jove Reptile I think you've cracked it. I downloaded the MP3 Tag editor and the albums that don't show album art in the player do not have anything showing up and the ones that do....do!
I was using Windows media Player and it was clearly telling me lies.
Thanks !!!
I am glad it helped show your problem :good:
Tested and Working! Using the MP3 Tag editor highlighted by Reptile I now have album art displaying for every album I have. Which is about 19GB worth so far.!!!!
For anyone else experiencing this issue, do not trust Windows Media Player to add your art. If I opened folders on my PC and clicked on a song it would show album art in the details pane on the right but still NOT show art in the car!
Using the MP3 Tag editor I was able to see that WMP only seems to associate art with a file as long as its on the same PC, as soon as you take that file away to another player the art is gone.
This was frying my noodle for a long time so I'm really happy to have it resolved at last!!!
