Get album art on g1

Apr 06, 2009

- Update, I found that the album art IS on my SDcard. Just hidden, but can't unhide it.
This is how I did it. I am using Windows Vista so it maybe different for other OSs.
Open windows explorer and goto each album where the individual songs are located, I did it by clicking Music from Start, then clicking on an artist, then the album. You should see the songs in that album. If you don't see the toolbar with File,Edit,View,Tools,Help then press ALT. Click "Tools", "Folder Options..." Then click on the "View" tab, goto the "Advanced settings:", then select "Show hidden files and folders" in "Hidden files and folders". ALSO, uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended). This allowed me to see the file that looks sorta like this..."AlbumArt_{4E539A7E-FAE1-42FD-84C1-28A7D2E65FE9}_Large.jpg".
Selected and copied the artists folders on my pc. Plugged in my g1, I need to hold the USB icon on the top of the screen for a couple seconds. It should expand downwards, then pull it down. open the USB connected by toucing it. Touch the "Mount" button on the screen.
Autoplay dialog box opens on my pc, select "open folder to view files" which opens "dcim" folder. Paste the music in that folder.
NOTE: You will not be able to access the sdcard from the g1 until you unplug the USB after you're done.
Once all the music is uploaded into the sdcard, goto "My Computer" on my pc, rightclick the sdcard drive(it should be named like "Removable Drive" or something, and select "eject".
Now remove the USB cable, Select "Music" icon in you apps, if needed select "dcim" folder, and touch the pictures.
I did all the stuff to no avail. Then started messing around. I cannot see the album art even though the jpg files are there, they are hidden. Could it be something with metatags in the music files? How do I change them if it is?
