M4a music file album art insertion

I have a Sony Ericsson W910i and it plays m4a music files without a hitch, however I had to manually transfer the files to the memory card instead of syncing through a media player and as a result the album art I initially assigned to the files does not show.

Anyone have any idea how to manually insert album art on a phone's music if my own PC media players (WMP, winamp, foobar2000) can't seem to do so?

 

iTunes should be able to do it. i know a lot hate it, though..

 

I don't use iTunes since I don't own an iPod or similar Apple product. Anyone else with suggestions?

 

Was there any content transfer software that came with the mobile?

I'd have said use Windows Media Player to synchronize the files - but in my experience Windows Media Player will not synchronize m4u or mp4 files even if it can play them due to a codec pack.
(Experience from Sony MP3 player)

It does have its own software called content transfer though - I did use that on one .m4u track and it did transfer the album art too (I'm pretty sure it was the dedicated software).

So maybe check the Sony Support Centre (I think it does contain Sony Ericsson support too, else try the Sony Ericsson site and see if there is any software available)

 

i do use iTunes because i don't use an Apple product at all. iTunes is simple, works well, allows me to legally get tunes in the most simple way.

i use iTunes because it's a good app for what it's ment for. and because it can tag m4a album arts

 

Argh, that means I'll have to get out the installation CD and use the damn phone software to get the m4a art across. Either that or install iTunes to get the album transfer done and then delete the damn program when it's finished its work.

Thanks for the help.

 

I'd recommend the phone software

Why use the Apple stuff when it is no gain? - The phone's software might also be slower and not add to startup - and start quicker than itunes without preloading it.

 

My DVD drive is finicky at reading discs and working right off the bat so I decided to go the iTunes route. At any rate the iTunes solution worked after a reasonable download and I removed all traces of Apple's installation soon afterwards.

 

because there is gain? like, uhm, fixing his problem?

and phone softwares normally are even more bulky than itunes which is quite fine, actually.

after getting rid of the hate, it's my favourite music manager now. clean, properly working. all your hate is nonsense..

 

Why does itunes add an autostart entry?

The one time I had it on my old laptop - oh the horror...

Windows Media Player is what I use on my SSD I haven't yet seen any reason to change.

But even excluding Windows Media Player, all other programmes launch much quicker without autostart entries.

 

short answer, it doesn't. or is quitable in their options, or something.

well, as i said before, i have much reasons. one: great to manage your music librarie as a whole. two: best way to buy music right now. three: allows one to easily burn cds (including gapless ones).

doesn't matter for others, but it's just a solid complete package. even without the need for an ipod or something.

 

I'm pretty sure you can do this with MP3Tag. Nice little app.

Thanks for the tip, it's a great little program to have. Just as well I won't have to use it often for those annoying incompatible files.
