I have music in my library downloaded from Amazon.com and itunes I always purchased from whoever was cheaper and well Amazon downloads are in Mp3 formart and Itunes in AAC/MPEG-4, I noticed my cowon j3 can't display the artwork on the music I bought on the itune files but it can on the Amazon files could someone help me come up with a solution for this problem?

 

 

I converted all my AAC to MP3 to see if that was the problem but no, even when they're in mp3 format the Cowon j3 still can't register the artwork.

I use a mix of FLAC, WMA, and MP3, and regardless of the format sometimes have to wrestle with the J3 and album art. Sometimes its almost like it doesn't "feel" like showing it!

You can use MP3Tag (a free program) or MediaMonkey to physically embed the album art into the ID3 tag of the song. This usually works, but can be temperamental for whatever reason.

 

The best method I have found, is to find a nice high res JPG of the album art thats missing, and rename it folder.jpg. Then copy this into the folder on your J3 where that albums songs are, and voila! you will have your album art.

 

Hope this helps!
