Can I use multiple Album Artworks in iTunes?

Hi everyone.
So I have a 5 disc Album in my iTunes library. & I have artwork for each disc & then the album itself. I'd like to be able to use the artwork for each disc, so that every track has the corresponding artwork for the disc that its from. But I'd also like to use the main album art, so I can see it when browsing through my albums. But I can't find a way to do this.
I already know how to give each disc in one album its individual artwork, I've already done that. But I can't find a way to use the main album art just as a cover for the album, without it replacing every tracks album art.
Is this possible, at all? Thank you!

You can give track 1 of the first disc the main album artwork. That should show when you play track 1 at top of the screen and when browsing albums. All other tracks would then show the individual disc art at the top when played or in the mini-player with the artwork panel showing.
FWIW you can embed multiple images in each track but iTunes doesn't have a way to show them automatically.

  • Can't manually add album artwork through iTunes 10.5 on an iPhone 4s

    Ok, heres the deal - (and this is a weird one)
    I have iTunes 10.5, windows xp and a new iPhone 4s. I am missing multiple album covers so I just find high-res ones on google and save them in preparation of manually adding them to the album via iTunes. The way I do this (and have always done this) is by highlighting the whole album, right clicking and going to 'get info'. Then I go the bottom right corner where it says "Artwork" and double click to open the folder of all my highres album covers. I then choose the correct album and click on 'open'. The artwork box stays BLANK no matter how many times I choose a cover and open it. So then I wait for it to sync the non-cover to the iphone...which doesnt work because its not syncing anything but it thinks it is. I then have to DO THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN to make it work. Generally it finally takes the album cover after the 2nd time. Generally.
    Now heres the thing, sometimes it just hangs up on the title at the top of the screen, the status bar. It just says "Updating Files On 'Derek's iPhone' ("preparing to update" is the sub text) with the little candycane status bar running across. It may do this and hang for a good 3 minutes EACH TIME!
    So I have to go through multiple albums, one by one, manually syncing album covers 2 times in a row since it never works the first time and hope that it doesnt hang too long and just time out, which it has done multiple times before. If it doesnt work the first 2 times, then I'll try 3 or 4 times but then it will just time out, not saying any error or anything but it just wont transfer the album artwork. I'll look at my phone and the cover is still blank!
    The only way around this, that I've found, is quit iTunes and unplug the phone and start the whole process over again for EVERY. ALBUM. and btw, I have about 40 albums to do this to.
    So all this music came from cd's a while ago, I just dont want to pay for the iTunes version JUST to get the album cover since I already have the music.
    At this rate, it would take me a few months of non-stop syncing to finish.
    And on top of THAT, a few weeks back I made some serious headway on this and almost got finished to the "S" albums (listed alphabetically), checked my phone, all the covers were there. Then about a week later, plugged my phone back in and noticed that AAAALLLL the work I did in the past was GONE! I had to start over from the "G" albums. And thats where I'm at now...
    Please help
    P.S. - Of course I've already tried "get album artwork"..duh, it doesnt work. It doesnt get the right covers or horrible versions or low res or MOST times, it just says it can't find any

    I am currently having the same problem. I have an ipod touch and yesterday I finally updated to 10.5. For starters, after the update, all of the songs were gone, so I manually had to re-add them. I have about 5 CD albums on my PC that I ripepd and then added to my ipod, and about 3/5 I never had album cover issues with. But upon plugging in my ipod again today, the album covers were gone for ALL of the CDs. On top of that, when I manually change the "info" on some songs, it is updated on itunes, but not on my Ipod!

  • Can I use multiple IDs for one iTunes and multiple devices

    We have one family computer with iTunes, my older brother has an iPhone and I have an iPhone. A family ID was previously used to purchase songs for the family to share. My older brother has created an apple ID for his iPhone, and l have a yet unused apple ID. my brother downloaded songs etc onto the family iTunes that I would like to share, there are songs on the family apple ID that we would both like. Can you download purchases from multiple apple IDs into one iTunes  account, then sync that data onto multiple phones that each have a separate ID? Is iTunes linked to one ID? Can purchases from multiple IDs be grouped together in our family account. Also do I Actually need a separate Apple for my iPhone to prevent private messages and contacts being shared?
    Thanks for any advice

    I forgot to add my iPhone is brand new and unused, and also that the iTunes account has non purchased songs on there. Can these be shared. As it is a new computer the purchases from the family ID have not been downloaded yet

  • Can I use multiple apple ids with iTunes Match?

    My family has multiple apple ids although we share many devices.  If we subscribe to iTunes Match, will it pull all the content from all the devices or just one apple id?

    iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store account. To use iTM on multiple devices all those devices must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store with the same AppleID.

  • Can't Drag Album Artwork into iTunes

    For some reason I can no longer drag album artwork into iTunes. If I click on a song or on a group of songs and there is no artwork available, I can no longer drag album art to the "Drag Album Artwork Here" in the bottom left corner. Same goes for when I right click and say "Get Info". It will show a little green plus sign as I drag the picture over the drop area but nothing happens.
    I'm running 10.4 and have made sure that I have read and write privledges to all of the specified folders.
    Anyone have any other ideas?

    Where are you dragging the images from? It might just be that particular site, if you're using the same location time and time again. I use Amazon music when looking for album art for iTunes and generally have good luck with it.
    Are you trying to drag artwork for songs that already have artwork associated with them? Sometimes you might want to clear the downloaded artwork for those tracks and then drag in the new image. I've run into this in cases where I've downloaded a single track from iTunes but then used something else to complete the album.
    Beyond those suggestions, you might want to try re-creating your iTunes Library, per the steps in this document. Note that some data may be lost, such as play counts and date added.

  • HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

    i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

  • Why can I not see album artwork on my iphone but I can on itunes

    I have downloaded album artwork onto itunes, however some of it is not downloading onto my iphone. How can I get the album artwork onto my phone?

    On the right hand side of the itunes store - there is a link under "quick links" to "purchases" where I can find all the books and music I have purchased through itunes.  That way if I have loaded something from itunes using my phone - I can then go and download it onto my PC later (or that is how I use it).
    BUT - while music, movies, TV shows, Apps & Books are available for download - there is no audiobooks option.  So, I have these purchases of audiobooks through itunes, but I cannot find them in my purchases history.  I have tried to manually sync these audiobook purchases from my phone to my PC, but it would not let me.  And the last time I tried to sync my audiobook library between my phone and my PC - (loading these new purchases from phone to PC) it wiped my phone purchases and I had to go back to apple with all the purchase receipts to get them back.
    I would like to be able to load audiobooks purhcased on my itunes account onto my home and work PC from the itunes purchased database from my account (or from my phone if someone can recommend a safe way to move the file).
    Thanks for asking.

  • How can i transfer album artwork to itunes

    can someome help me i have got some album artwork but cant seem to be able to put it on to itunes?

    There are various methods of adding artwork to your songs and albums.
    If you have an iTunes store account, you can use the "get album artwork" option in iTunes. You don't actually need to purchase anything from the iTunes store, just to have or create an account. Provided that the album or song for which you are looking to add artwork is available for sale in the store, iTunes will find it and add it to your library.
    If you go to preferences/general in iTunes and check the box marked "automatically download missing album artwork", it will automatically add the artwork when you import a CD into iTunes.
    You must have the album or song tagged in your iTunes library correctly or it may not be found. For instance, even a missing "The" before the artists name can throw up anomalies. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library.
    If you don't have an account or don't want to create one, here are a couple of other methods.
    Highlight a song or album in iTunes, then right click on it and select the "get album artwork" option.

Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images. 

Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image". 

When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes. 

Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste. 

    In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
    If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a free program to do it for you.
    And for Macs, there's Album Art Widget.
    You can set this to find art from Amazon, Google and elsewhere, automatically add artwork to songs, rate songs, and a bunch of other stuff.
    One of the coolest widgets around.

  • Can't Download Album Artwork From Itunes Anymore

    Hi, as i browse through coverflow with itunes, my ipod and my iphone i like having high quality album artwork from itunes. As i don't buy my music directly from iTunes i usually just change the fields of the first song of the album to the exact same as the way it is in the iTunes store, so i can get album artwork from them, however now it isn't working anymore, i have tried downloading artwork for a few albums and it isn't coming up it anymore and says "Artwork for... Cannot be found". For example now im trying with Beyoncé's new album I Am...Sasha Fierce and i changed everything on the first song to match exactly as it is on the iTunes store, such as artist, album, year, composer, genre EVERYTHING! please can someone help, i have quite a big screen and it looks bad when i get the artwork from amazon or google images. Thanks.

    I have the same problem but your advice did not work for me. Pehaps I do not understand your directions. What do you mean by "go to where you saved the album artwork"? I never had any problem adding new artwork until I installed iTunes version 11.1.3 (8). Now I can't add new artwork anymore. Is there a special file in this version of iTunes where I should be saving the artwork I want to add to make it work? Before I could save it anywhere.
    If you downloaded the artwork from the Internet. It'll be in your downloads folder. Open the folder, and "drag" the image from the folder to the Artwork box in the Info pane as shown:
    When you see the "+" you know it's ready to drop, and it will add the artwork to ALL selected tracks as soon as you click "OK".

  • Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

    We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten.  Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ?  Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

    Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
    You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
    So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

  • Viewing multiple album artworks

    For several of the albums in my iTunes there are multiple pieces of album artwork. I know how to view them by clicking the left and right arrow above the artwork pane in iTunes. My question is how can I view the different artworks for the one album in Cover Flow. I also am trying to figure out how to view the multiple album artworks from my iPhone. I tried while using Remote and while just using iPod and couldn't figure it out.

    You can give track 1 of the first disc the main album artwork. That should show when you play track 1 at top of the screen and when browsing albums. All other tracks would then show the individual disc art at the top when played or in the mini-player with the artwork panel showing.
    FWIW you can embed multiple images in each track but iTunes doesn't have a way to show them automatically.

  • I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

    I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12.  I download music from a service that sometimes has album artwork embedded, and I usually just delete it.  Then I add the artwork from iTunes with the "get album artwork" command.  But it only works if you can delete the embedded artwork first...and in iTunes 12, so far, I cannot.  So I am stuck with the artwork that came with the files...and it's not always good.  (Sometimes, it's even silly ads!)
    In iTunes 11 and prior versions, I would highlight the songs in the album, right-click then choose "get info," choose the "details" tab, and put a checkmark next to the empty album art box for all songs.  That would delete the embedded album artwork.  You could also paste an image into the little box and it would apply to all the songs that had no artwork, to be sure they were all the same.  Alternatively, I could also highlight the songs in the album, right-click then choose "get info," choose the "artwork" tab, and delete, cut or paste artwork right into the larger pane.
    Without the ability to delete embedded artwork, I cannot maintain my library the way I'd like to.  I even prefer the full album artwork to a "single" artwork, and so I even change the free iTunes downloads singles to the main album artwork.
    Please help.  Does anyone know how to delete album artwork in iTunes 12?  I have a huge library and I want to continue to maintain it with the correct album artwork.

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog (as given above)
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • How to delete album artwork from itunes?

    i have tried the clear downloaded artwork, but this didn't work. is there any other way that i can delete album artwork from itunes? i am assuming the artwork is embedded in the files, since the clear downloaded artwork didn't work.

    I think this might have been answered before, but this is what I know.
    One way I'm aware of to clear artwork is to do a properties of any album you want to clear the artwork from, go to artwork, select the artwork and delete it.
    Iirc, iTunes holds the artwork in it's database and not physically with the audio file. I normally use "Mp3tag" to add my artwork to albums so the artwork is embedded in the audio files, I tend to steer clear of adding artwork in iTunes itself. Just be weary when adding images to the audio files themselves: The audio files will increase in size of the image itself, I think that's why iTunes doesn't physically add it to the files.
