When I view my music in the folder view on my phone all the album jpegs are there but none show up in the walkman player.
however I have a couple of podcasts on my phone which shows up there logo as album art but there is no picture in the folder viewer.
this is doing my head in as surely it can't be that hard. Why should we have to use itunes just to get album art on there. Has anyone tried Windows Media Player to put the music on yet?
Why haven't SE integrated this feature into Disc2Phone as part of the CDDB search??

Hi,
Have used iTunes and disc2phone to get album art on the W850i and it has worked ok. Use iTunes to add the artwork, note size needs to be somthing like 300x300 pixels to display on phone. looks like min dimensions as artwork larger than say 500x500 didnt show up on phone. also just used disc2phone, pointed it at the itunes folder, picked what I wanted (or use the shuffle fill feature) and go. works alright.
cheers

Hi All,
Just thought I'd post here because I too had the album artwork problem and think that I've got a definitive answer but you never know!
I couldn't figure out why some tunes that I transferred to my phone picked up artwork and others didn't.
Scott's guide is indeed excellent but even following that I had the same problem.
After much messing around with tags and encoding I used an app called Godfather to look at the encoding and I think this gave me the answer, although I think it's got very little to do with the encoding actually!
Anyway...when I ripped my CD's into Itunes I always searched for the artwork and it duly found it. I had a few random mp3's that I'd got from other sources and it was those that already had artwork that were showing up.
I thought it was a problem with Itunes - and in a way it is. The images that Itunes pulls in it's search are simply 'too big' in terms of file size. There must be a limit on the w850 as too how big the image associated in the ID tags can be. It seems to be about 100kb (I haven't proved this) but I simply reduced the size of the image using MSPaint and re-added it as per Scott's guide. Voila, it worked.
The easiest way to reduce the image is just open it in Paint and then simply save it again as a .jpeg. This in itself reduces it to a size the phone will accept.
Hope this helps. If not, my bad.

I have the W810i and as much as I think the W850i looks good, I don't think it's worth the upgrade. Looks too cumbersome to do. I just want to transfer the music and that's it.
I am not bothered about having album art on there.

I have found a better way to add album are if you DO NOT have iTunes, using windows media player.
1. open windows media player, and select the songs you want to add album art to.
2. Right Click the song(s) and click on "Advanced Tag Editor"
3. click on the fourth tab - "pictures"
4. go to google and find your artwork, and save it on your pc.
5. click "add" on the pictures tab, and find your artwork.
6. Once your artwork is added, make sure "user defined" is chosen ( this is the option that works for me, others might work, i havent tried.)
7. Plug your W850i into your PC and transfer your files over. I dont use the disk2phone, just via card reader.
voila!
This way works for me - hope it works for some of you!

Was about to add the exact same thing. Nice find! I wish I would have read it before searching the net. Works for me as well.
Forgot to mention for a whole album you can play them in windows media player hold down shift to selct all of the songs and do them all at once.

na dosnt works man.. i attach the image with artwork and then sace the file then copy the file to the music folder and then i also rebooted my p990i but dosnt the art image..
I just tried with my P990i. I only have one song on it at the moment which is:
Pink - I'm Not Dead - U & Ur U Hand.
I tested it by beaming a jpeg image of the album art to my P990i where it was sent to the message inbox. After opening the message i then renamed it to Pink - I'm Not Dead.
I saved it in the camera picture folder on the memory stick. Then i copied the image and put it in the music folder where the song was on the memory stick. When i went to play it it was there.
I am not sure whether this worked just because i only have the one song but i am going to try others and see if they attach to the right album.
Apologies if this has been tried but i couldn't find anything specific to the P990i and i am rubbish at searching lol.
Hope this helps some of you.

On the black w850i, only orange. I dont think its that important anyway (at least for me) coz it only stays lighted for a few seconds.
