For unknown reasons, the Music application on my Nokia N9 does not always display the album cover where expected. Instead, it displays the artist name and album title. Reports by other users of this phone suggest this isn't an uncommon issue, but offer no confirmed insight in the root cause of the problem unfortunately.
Fortunately, the symptoms of this problem are relatively easy to fix on a one-by-one basis.
In ~/.cache/media-art
on the phone, copy the album art (in a JPEG
file) to a file named using the following format:
album-$(echo -n "artist name" | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f 1)-$(echo -n "album name" | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f 1).jpeg
Replace artist name
and album name
with the appropriate values for
the album, in small caps (lowercase).
This follows the Media Art Storage Spec
Luckily, in most cases the above is not necessary and it suffices to
store the cover picture as cover.jpg
in the album's directory in
~/MyDocs/Music
.
