Thank you for watching VisiHow! If you have any other comments or questions, please leave them in the comments section below. Not on anniversary update yet. I was having a problem with the Groove app not adding any Artist art for any of my music on my Lumia 1520. Artist art would not show up at all. I have all the metadata and Album art setup perfectly using a program called mp3 tag. I have the exact same music on my phone.

Artist art would not show up at all. I have all the metadata and Album art setup perfectly using a program called mp3 tag. I have the exact same music on my phone as I do on my computer (copied from computer to phone via usb).I tried the Groove app on my computer once, but didn't turn on the setting to 'Automatically retrieve and update missing album art and metadata' because I didn't want it to mess up my already perfect metadata. I did, however, turn on that setting on my phone, but still no Artist art.Troubleshooting and solution:I decided to turn on that setting on my computer groove app and within a few seconds I started getting Artist art.

All but a few were found. I then went to the phone, turned the setting back on and still nothing. I then tried hooking the phone to my home wifi, and within a few seconds I started getting Artist art. I never hook my phone to wifi because I have more data in my plan than I know what to do with so I use LTE exclusively.

It seems the groove app isn't capable of, or allowed to, download the Artist art on a data connection, but it does work fine when on wifi. If you're having any issues try hooking to wifi and then open the groove app and let it do it's thing.Only a few Artist art were still missing so I used a program called Groove Manager.

This program was able to find the few missing Artist art that remained and add that art to my local groove database. I now have Artist art for all my music.The more I use the groove app, the more I like it, so I now use groove for playing music on my phone, computer, and home stereo exclusively. I'm now enjoying the Artist art, and all my Album art and metadata I added stayed in tact. @Bobvfr - Thanks for the info on your setup.

I'll admit, I was resistant to Groove at first, I just stuck with using the music folder in file explorer and WMP. Now that I switched to Groove I see I was missing out on a lot of functionality, info, and fun. I now use it on computer and phone. In my 2015 Lexus IS350, which has an amazing sound system, Groove works well. Only an occasional issue where the music doesn't auto start when starting the car. I also use Bluetooth headphones paired to my 1520 with Groove and it works perfect, no issues.I also have a wireless music system that sends the sound from my computer to my home stereo (old school speakers with 16' woofers, an equalizer, surround sound, and a descent pioneer head unit). My computer has a 24' touch screen monitor that can be folded to lay flat on a table/desk and the computer is also hooked to my TV for video via hdmi.

Groove again works well in this setup. Last night I had friends over so I fired up Groove, put the video on the TV so everyone could see it, and then allowed people to pick and choose music they wanted to hear via the touch screen monitor. These were iPhone and android users, so for some it was the first time they'd seen Groove and it was a hit. Everyone though it was really cool and easy to use. They really liked reading bios and all the artist/album art as well.

They were also amazed that I can put music up on one drive and have that music playable on my computer and my phone.Even if they can do similar with their phones and a win10 computer, they really never tried cause it all doesn't integrate seamlessly like a win10 phone and win10 computer.You are right, Groove has come along way from xbox music and WMP. Glad I'm using it now.

Album Art DownloaderWe’re going to be using a free application called. It’s got an unconventional interface, but it works very well. To get started, click the link, download the application and install it. Preparing Your Music LibraryFor this tutorial to work, you’re going to need a very neat, orderly music library. Each album should reside in its own subfolder, and the files should all have correct metadata so that Album Art Downloader knows what to search for. If your house is in order, great; but if you need a bit of help getting there, check out our previous post showing.

Once your library is all neat, move on to the next step. Searching For Album ArtIt’s now time to run Album Art Downloader. This is what you’re supposed to see when running the application for the first time:This is the Search window. Its job is to help you find the cover art for one single album, using a myriad of sources. Album Art Downloader does not have its own cover art database on the web; instead, it uses numerous plugins to search existing databases, starting from massive libraries such as Amazon, CD Baby, Google Images, all the way to more obscure sources such as RevHQ and Psyshop. By default, it also searches your local files, which isn’t very helpful. So the first thing we’ll do is scroll down to the bottom of the list and disable the local file search:Feel free to disable any other sources you don’t think you’ll need in the process, just like we’ve disabled Take2 and Yes24 above.

From our experience, Amazon and Google Images are usually enough to track down most albums. Another thing you should do at this point is set the “Sort by” listbox to “Area”, as shown in the screenshot above. This would ensure the largest images would float to the top of the search results.Now that we’re all set, it’s time to point Album Art Downloader at our music collection and tell it what it should fetch. Go to File New File Browser, or hit Ctrl+B.The File Browser is a separate window; that’s what’s odd about the Album Art Downloader interface – it uses lots of separate windows that pop up all over the place. Once you get used to that, the application is very easy to use. Point the File Browser at your music library (C:UsersezukMusic above) and click the large Search button.Album Art Downloader will go through your entire music library quite rapidly, looking for the artist name, album name, and whether or not the album already has artwork. Click “Select all albums with missing artwork”, and then click Get Artwork for Selection.Album Art Downloader will now pop up three separate search windows in parallel.

Do not be alarmed – the application is just trying to save you time. Since searching through multiple image databases tends to take some time, working in parallel is efficient: While you’re busy sorting through the results of the first search, the other two are already fetching images.

By the time you’re done with the first search, the second one is ready for you.Let’s start sifting through the first one. The thumbnails are tiny, but you can click and hold a thumbnail to pup up a full-size version of the file. You can also drag the line alongside each “tile” to make the tiles larger.Once you’ve tracked down the correct album art at a good resolution, double-click the thumbnail or single-click the diskette icon. A file called “folder.jpg” (or.png, as the case may be) will be saved in the folder containing the album. Close the search window, and a new one will pop up, searching for the next album. Don’t wait for this window to fill up with images; just switch to one of the other two windows waiting for you, pick the correct image, save, and close. Rinse, lather, repeat.

In no time your music library will be full of beautiful, high resolution artwork!
