youve gotta make the mp3 files into individual folders, like artist > album > mp3, example: 50 cent folder > curtis album folder > i get money.mp3 and put the artwork (jpeg less than 20kb i think, with less than 500x500 dimensions) into the same folder as the mp3's (the album folder), u have to update music after that, or restart walkman player for the album art to load up. the album art which you see now usually is a hidden file that gets downloaded with the mp3, thats why u cant see it in the folders. hope tat helps

ok i think i got it. Will have to update later to be sure, but i have some tracks which were not loading their album art now loading them.

I used Mobilemodman's method. But i do not think the 20kb picutre size matters. My "Bullet For My Valentine" album art is 23kb. I will try with another album art which is 34kb and will update later.

Thank you, hopefully all will be fine


----Edit----

Ok well i have tried .png images for the art and they work fine as well, and I also have tried a file that is 66kb and that worked too. So i think as long as you keep it below 500x500 px you'll be fine. Many thanks!

Ok. I'm facing "Application cannot be started" problem, while trying to launch Walkman v3 from the menu. Did all step by step. Removed all the files that were copied while doing the install of Walkman 3.0, *manually* and copied them again, still no change. No, Media player is NOT running while trying to launch Walkman v3. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong? My Firmware is R9H004 Anyone's got Wv3 running on this firmware? Do I need Walkman v2 to get Wv3 running?
Thanks & Regards,
Sathya

As far as i know the walkman 2 files are not neeed, maybe the firmware does not support the app? I'm not sure just guessing. I cant be of much more help because I dont know much about the UIQ file systems but another member will no doubt be of more help.

Silly question but did you restart your phone?

You do have a P1i? - this will only install on a P1i.

No you don't want the Walkman 2 files! - if you have installe walkman 2.0 you would need to remove those files.

have you tried downloading the application fresh from the site? - you should not need to remove the walkman 3 files before copying them over again!

I've just done this mod myself, and it works a treat. I do have the problem of album art not working right - is there any software people know of that will update my MP3 files with the right grahpics? I use Windows Media to rip stuff to MP3, not iTunes... but I'd ideally want something I can jsut fire off against my existing library to update them properly...

Anyone...?

hmm, i dont even think iTunes does album art correctly, and media player requires you to find the album online to get the album art...

The steps on how to add album art are posted a few posts above (I had the same problem), i use Mp3tag but if the songs are already ripped it requires you to add all the art by yourself.

If you have CD's you are ripping, what you do is rip the CD's open up Mp3tag point it to the directory where you ripped the songs, and again i think you need to find the album art (although it has some search engines built in i gave up trying to use them, and didn't bother with the how to) once you have the album art copied to your clip board, highlight all the songs that share the same art paste the art into the album art box and press crtl+s.

Long winded, but this is the best i found. I hate iTunes cant use the prog, it makes no sense to me, media player is good but you have to find the songs via their catalogue which is a slow process and sometimes does not give the best results.

I settled for mp3tag and amazon.com. Amazon gives me the album art, and i just copy and paste it into mp3tag.

If you find something more efficient let me know

I used to use Musicmatch Jukebox. - Even Paid for it I liked that much - that was pretty good at doing album art & Tags & stuff - but Yahoo have bought it and trashed it now - they just want you to use their iTunes equivalent garbage

I've been playing with MP3Tag and it seems to work ok. I've done an album at a time, but apparently it should do all in one go (must read some instructions!)

But worth a punt...
