    Pretty sure the Music player that comes with the Nexus does already do that.

    I know there are and I have tried several. Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

    Music player that was installed would not recognise any on the music I put on the Nexus.

    Wife just uses the default Player on her Nexus 7. I've installed Rocket Music Player on my Nexus 4.

    You can also get apps to retrieve album art - I use Cover Art Downloader.

    It all depends if the file you have of the music has the cover art work in it - a lot dont. I use VLC on my 7 and if the music has artwork it shows it. The normal player does too, if it has it

    The proper Google Music app (icon is yellow headphones), DoubleTwist (great for syncing stuff from your computer to any phone, or even memory cards, are two that I use.
    The first part of course, is to have the artwork associated with the tracks in the first place - organise it !

    The music I was transferring did have the artwork. The normal player didn't. A friend has also had a similar problem.
