Music Artwork Wont Appear as background. Help!

[richard_c]

I got the Nokia Lumia 620 last week, sold my iPhone 4 for it and I love it, I did all the research I needed for the switch and its beens seamless. Ive got a 32GB SD card and it worked straight away, Ive been dragging and dropping my music into the music folder and it works fine, I quick found out that unless the Album Artist section was completed for the ID3 tags thwen it would bring the artist up as unknown, so I've been manually adding the songs I want and checking the ID3 tags are correct and that the artwork is attached. Now Nokia music is picking up the album artwork because in album view the little thumbnails show the artwork but when I play a track the background is just grey, should it be using the album artwork? Is there something I am missing or a setting I need to turn on?

This is my old gripe with the OS as everything else has been perfect.

Any help or tips would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,

Rich

Ive found the MPA tool on the store. Now that removed the grey background from the lock screen but within the player the background is still empty. What am I doing wrong?

I have live.co.uk address

it doesn't show the artwork, it shows a picture of the band (via xbox music) unluckily, it only has 1/100 artists. but MPAtool is the perfect way! choose the 2nd option in its main menu, auto download, and let it complete.

I've done that and it shows the background in the lockscreen but no in the player its still some kind of abrstact arty background and not the downloaded image. Could it be because im using nokia music and not xbox music?

MPATool can also get the Album Arts for you ! but I'm not sure how it works with Nokia Music !
You said , You used to have an iPhone, If you still use iTunes, there's an option to make it get Artworks for you ! after the process is done , just copy\sync the updated files to your Lumia .

Hope that works !
