hey, i recantly thought to add cover art for my phone song library  
so for 3 hours i sat and went by each song and updated his cover art  
so far so good, i can see in my PC library that the cover art indeed updated  
but when i pass the 500+ to my phone they all had the same cover art from one song in the list and i tried everything to fix it and nothing worked  
i think that maybe if every song had a diffrent album it will change every song into his original cover art  
so i have 2 questions:

1. i need that every song will have something diffrent in the album box, i dont need the real name of the album just Gibberish. so that every song have a diffrent gibberish in the album box
2. i dont think it would work, so if anyone know how to fux this bug i would REALLY appreciate it  
thank you. 🙂  
(sorry for bad english)

Usually an album is determined by an  
ALBUMARTIST, ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, perhaps TRACK and YEAR

See if you have filled these fields.

You can easily copy the ARTIST to ALBUMARTIST and TITLE into ALBUM.

that looks strange to me: are we talking about filenames or have you actually filled the tag fields?

Do you have that string in the album field: 50 cent-my life (album-ijlhgiubhiob)?

You should have data in the following fields:  
ALBUMARTIST  
ARTIST  
ALBUM  
TITLE  
perhaps TRACK and YEAR

"50 cent-my life (album-ijlhgiubhiob)" looks like a filename. Or if you have that string in ALBUM then it would be safer to put the data into the proper fields  
like "50 cent" in ALBUMARTIST and ARTIST  
"my life" in TITLE  
"ijlhgiubhiob" in ALBUM or if that does not make sense, then perhaps a copy of TITLE.
