Question

The album art is set in album grabber, but it doesn't update in my Google Play app--any suggestions how to tie these together?

Community Answer

Send the album to yourself via email. Then push the Add File button, choose the album and push Send. Then go to your email and push Add to Drive.

It is an album art grabber. It only adds photos to the album and those songs under the album will have the same photo. I think you can only add one photo for album

Question

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Got the app, selected album from my music on my Android, found the artwork, selected it, set it, when I go to library it is still showing standard album image?

Are you using Google Play app? Uninstall and install it once again if you are. It should then work.
