Hey thedead1440...

1. What software do you use to encode your music files and what format to?
2. How do you get album art to work on PR1.3?
3. How do you transfer the songs? Mass Storage or using Nokia Link?

Ok finally its all done after the .zip failed 3 times...I've uploaded them all individually:

- I use Mp3Tag for the tags and VLC to convert them when I need to

- Yes my album art works properly

- Mass Storage or WinSCP...

What format you converting to? MP3?
I convert my tracks to M4A maybe thats the problem why its not working.

Yup i keep them at MP3...I'm not sure as I've never tried M4A...

The reason why I use M4A it's superior to MP3. Check out Dolby Pulse it's awesome and N9 supports it.

Does VLC support M4A encoding?

I will get back to you after I eat my dinner and try out;
- MP3
- MP3Pro
- VLC > MP3 other formats.

Cheers for your help thedead1440

No probs

I'll test out everything later as I'm too ecstatic now that ManU have won

In the meantime you too can test out all the variations

Right I encode my songs and then I use MP3Tag to attach album art and then I save it by clicking on the floppy icon but this stupid n9 displays album art when you first start music player but in the album/artist list it does not show up and when you click on to song it's just a black screen on the album art part.

Can you explain how you do it?

No issues here.
I use only v2 (id3) tags with album art.

Even use .flac files with embedded art but then it could take a while before the album art is shown in artist/album list.

Hmmm, this is rate annoying.

What options do you have ticked in the options > tag (Mpeg)

I will record a video and show you my album art on my phone.
