I type tracker-processes -r enter and tells me not found.

tracker-processes -r works perfect for me!

but doesn anyone know why this appears on my music, ÿþM ?!

it replaces Muse as the artist, but otherwise it's all the same

Re: no album covers for new tracks in n900 MP
 

Well... everything is fine when you attach image if there weren't any before. But I want to change my existing cover to another embedded in ID3tag.
I've tried first just remove cover.jpg from directory, embed pics into tags and "tracker-processes -r" but it still shows my previous cover. Then I tried removing files (including .mediaartlocal subdirectory) and copy it again into device, restarting it, changing filenames, directories and even tags. Nothing worked...
Media player still finds its magic way to find the old cover and attach them instead of the new one.

Though I must sayd that when the song is playing, the album cover is the new one embedded in file, but in the album or artist view it stays old one...

Maybe media player stores some informations about it on the system partition. If this is the case, where are they and how to change them...?

With MP3Tag you can remove cover and replace it with another one. That way you can transfer only mp3 to your device and it should show that cover.
Don't forget to save in MP3Tag after you change the cover.

Other way you can remove cover in MP3tag and when you copy your mp3 to the device include cover.jpg together in the same folder. But I dont know what happens if there are more mp3s in the same directory so probably its better to use the first method.

EDIT: I noticed that if you put mp3 with embedded cover on N900 and when tracker finishes it adds subdirectory .mediaartlocal with the picture from mp3. Maybe you need to delete this folder... just guessing

Re: no album covers for new tracks in n900 MP
 

awesome, I don't think you read my entire post, did you? ;)

I have embed pics to my mp3's and delete old cover.jpg already.
I've also remove .mediaartlocal folder. Tracker now creates new one with old covers, even when none of old album pics are available, neither in cover.jpg nor in mp3 tags.

BTW: To blow your doubts. when you put cover.jpg it affects to all mp3's in that folder.

Re: no album covers for new tracks in n900 MP
 

I knew that there has to be some other folders that keeps album arts. :D

If anyone has the same problem of changing album covers in N900 you just need to:
$ rm ~/.cache/tracker/file-*
$ rm ~/.cache/media-art/*
$ rm -R ~/MyDocs/your-music-folders/.mediaartlocal (this I think is optional but it's safe to do this)
$ tracker-processes -r

Restart device (in my case)...


Have a nice album-arts. ;)

Re: no album covers for new tracks in n900 MP
 

I've made everything like you but after restart the small covers (on the list of all albums in media player) are still the old ones. When I play a track the bigger cover is good. Is there a chance to delete the small covers?

Re: no album covers for new tracks in n900 MP
 

I have the exact same problem... stupid old covers just won't go away. Even though I've embedded pics into tags using Mp3tag the N900 still shows old covers. The old covers have got to be cached somewhere on the device (I tried the 'tracker-processes -r' and all that). But where???

It's driving me crazy.

Re: no album covers for new tracks in n900 MP
 

Thank you all for the information that i needed.
I started working with Mp3tag and you can do all the stuf that you need with Mp3tag + adding album covers.

Every song its own album cover! and if you select all songs will add 1 cover for all.
