[Wrong with track in album]

Sorry - total brain burp on my part - 3's the winner.

My question is "What is the best way ensure the same artwork for all album tracks without embedding the same item in each track's file?"

It's obvious using the tags or filename is giving the wrong result too many times. Installing the right artwork once per album, knowing each track will show the same artwork - that's what I'm trying to do while using the least amount of storage.

The images of Al Di Meola leaning on a Les Paul guitar are the most common returns. 

The  number of tracks on my phone... I don't even want think about it. A handful of albums are filled with tracks ripped from streamed sources (oh for the good old days when that was free and easy to do!). The 80's material alone is about 9K of tracks, albeit 3-5 minutes each. 

The notion of five figures worth of tracks filled with the same artwork repeated LOTS of times would pound the daylights out of storage space. There's got to be a better way than repeating the file over and over.

Does diving into the Android/data structure and putting a needed JPG in the right offer a solution for "one artwork for all tracks in an album"? If so, that also offers the option flush out unwanted artwork.

I'm relying on whatever engine Poweramp uses. Its guesses are sometimes ...um... memorable. 

If I download from albumartexchange, can I assume I can "tell" PA to use the file for albums PA got wrong?

I have an album titled "Gypsy Soul", genre "Flamenco" (Narada label - Nuevo Flamenco collection, probably out of print, but worth looking for). The album art is correct, and all tracks, except one, have the album art, which is correct. The track "Mediterranean Sundance", Artist "Al Di Meola" defaults to the original album's artwork, not the "Gypsy Soul" album it's in. The album and genre tags are right. 

As an experiment, I changed the artist to "Armik" and the title to something in Spanish. Same file, different artist, track name, and got the right artwork. 

Change back to the right artist and title and... Wrong artwork. 

Why and how do I fix it?

Great thanks for that.

I guess the two threads can be merged. However I think the easiest way to continue is to post a link to my thread. Otherwise the sequence of questions and answers may be confusing. Or not. It's your choice. 😊

No question about being in playlist mode, as confirmed by tapping the metadata. 

 

I think this thread is now almost completely related to "Shuffle on in currently playing playlist or queue". It's probably best, to avoid duplication, cross-posting, and general chaos, to stick with replies to that thread. [/ smile ]

I'm totally confused. I tried Andre's suggestion and got a random track not on the playlist. As far as I can see, scramble within a list doesn't exist. At not as a one-click choice.

Change the Repeat mode (using the icon next to Shuffle) from 'Advance List' to 'Repeat Off'. You could use 'Repeat List' if you want to hear the same list again.

I don't see how the procedure above meets the request below.

How about "no repeat, repeat 1 track, repeat list, repeat scrambled list" (I guess "repeat scrambled track" is superfluous LOL).
