Get Album Art option,

If the album art already exists this does nothing. is it possible to overwrite the existing album art by deafult?

There is an easy way to overwrite and choose new album art for albums in iTunes, Here's how:
1. Download the image you want to use as album art.
2. Open iTunes and select ALL the songs in the album you want to change the art for.
3. with all of the album's songs selected, right click on any one of them and click "Get info"
4. you'll be asked wheather you want ot change info for multiple items, say yes.
5. on the window that appears, double click on the square box next to where it says "Album art"
6. in the file selection window that opens, find and select the graphic that you want to use as the album art, and click open.
7. making sure that the grahpic that you chose is showing in the album art box, click ok to exit back into iTunes.
8. Wait fo ra short processing screen to load, then you album art should be changed!
Good luck, I hope this helped!

Get Album Art rant.

I am importing my CDs to Itunes on my new computer. I have it set so it always gets album art. Problem is sometimes it asks what CD version it is, and the options it shows me are the EXCACT same description. If I pick the wrong one, Itunes says it can't find the art or it gives me the totally wrong artwork.
Is there anyway to fix this? Why does'nt someone at Apple check this stuff.

When you are being asked why CD version it is it is asking so that it can match the CD to the metadata in the CDDB, which is a database of track listings. For iTunes to be able to download album art the details for the songs must match what is in the iTunes Store. If the album or artist is not an exact match it will not find the album art.
One thing you can do is to check for the album in the iTunes Store. If you can find it check to make sure the details are the same on the songs in your library. If not you will have to update the details to match before you can manually select Get Album Art from the pop-up menu when you right-click on the song(s).

Get Album Art: What Will Happen?

I have a very large iTunes music collection almost all of which album art.
I've always been afraid to use the "Get Album Art" function of iTunes because I assumed it would replace all my existing album art. Two questions:
1) Is this true?
2) Is there a way to make it get album art for only a single album rather than for the whole library?

It won't replace the artwork if you already have something there. If you ctrl-click on a song you have an option to get album artwork for that one song. or from the same menu you can go to 'Get Info' and there is an artwork that you can manually place the images into. hope that helps

How do I automatically get album art?

If the album is available in the iTunes store you can download it from there.

When I try to "Get Track Names" or "Get Album Art," the wrong info or no info is retrieved

I'm using the latest iTunes and Lion OS.
I have many songs from long ago (not downloaded from iTunes) which have incorrect album names, etc., and I want to clean them up, but when I enter the correct info and select "Get Album Art" or "Get Track Names," either nothing is found or the incorrect information is returned, respectively.
For example, I have a song:
Artist: James Taylor
Album: Greatest Hits
Name: Mexico
It does not have the associated Album Art, nor does it have the rest of the information like Track, Year, etc. It just has the Track Name, Album Name and Artist Name. I want to update this to show that it is from the original Album, "Gorilla," so I right-click and select Info, and I fill in the Album Name as "Gorilla." When I right-click and select "Get Album Art," it tells me: "Artwork for "James Taylor - Gorilla" could not be found - though it exists in iTunes. When I right-click and select "Get Track Names," the item is updatd, and now it reads:
Artist: America
Album: Mellow Rock Hits Of The 70s: Summer Breeze
Name: A Horse With No Name
When I rename everything to "James Taylor," "Mexico," and "Gorilla," and select either "Get Album Art" or "Get Track Names," I get the exact same thing: no album artwork found, and it renames it to America.
What is happening? What am I doing wrong? Do I have the wrong expectations of the two right-click options?

I don't think CDDB and iTunes Store is the same. The CDDB gets information for CDs only (not collections of tracks made from a CD) and uses CD features such as track lengths (exact, which could be modified by a fraction of a second when you make a MP3) track count, etc. It doesn't use any information such as artist, track name. From what Mike Johnson12 was saying it seems that ITMS uses the base tag information to identify the track fully.
I have never used iTunes Store to label a track so I can't provide information there. I have no idea what criteria it uses, but for other id3 tag application and iTunes, by "exact" we mean exact. Letter case is important, and I have even found that sometimes font can make a difference.
For album artwork I do a Google search, then restrict the finds to images and select the best quality I can find. This is also the biggest in terms of file size so I only attach the image to one file in a track. When playing iTunes on the computer it displays that image for all tracks in that album.

How do you get album art to display in N95 player?

As titled, on the N95 8GB, how do you get the image art work of a file/song to display? Thanks

I've got the best method for album art without using any jpegs from the phone.
Follow these steps;
1. Download & Install Easy CD-DA Extractor v11.0 (30-Day Trial). This software is amazing & its worth paying for...and if u get other version above v11.0 album art will NOT work !
Download Link: http://rapidshare.com/files/120267020/ezcddax11.exe.html
MODs dont worry it 30-Day Trial
2. Run Easy CD-DA Extractor v11.0
3. Select the “Audio Converter” Tab & drag your files that you want converting.
4. Now edit your audio files tags such as Genre, Artist, Album etc
5. Highlight all your music files & click on the “Additional ID3” tab.
6. You have two options either to Download Album Art off the Internet or Load the
image from your PC. For this guide I am going to use an Image that is saved on my PC.
7. Select Your Encoding Method eg MP3 Lame, AAC+, eAAC+ etc
8. Then Press Convert Button & presto u get album art
Alternativly if you want a Guide with Screenshots then I've made this guide, remember the guide came from me ...

Cant get album art after converting from wma

After convertong old wma files into itunes format, clicking on get album art initiates the process and it seems to go through each album retrieving art, yet picture never appears. Any ideas?

OK in windows media player, it will pull the album art up, but it doesn't attach the art to the song, instead it hides the art in the system and attaches a series of numbers to be ID. In iTUnes tho the art is attached to the songs tags.
Now there may be some program you can find on the net that will automaticly do this for you, I have no idea but heres how to do it manually.
Now the art work will reside where the song is. Since most music is put in the "My MUsic" folder i'll focus there, but if you have songs in another folder there artwork will be in that folder with them. Open My Music folder and goto tools>folder options>view tab Now check "Show Hidden Files and Folder" then UNCHECK "Hide Protected Operating System Files" You should now see all the album art listed.

ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums. Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes. Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.

NEED 2 GET ALBUM ART ON IPOD USINING ITUNES 7

don't know how to update album art on ipod but
library art is updated

The next time you connect your iPod, and you are automatically syncing, the iPod will be updated with that information. If you are manually managing the songs on the iPod you may need to re-add them.
In another thread when the songs were not loading the artwork, it was resolved by unchecking the album art option, and rechecking it.
Your iPod needs to be one with a Color Display to support artwork. This includes iPod Photo, iPod w/Color Display, iPod 5G, or iPod Nano.

Get album art criteria for download

Hi,
When I say "Get Album Art" in iTunes, for some albums it doesn't do anything. I check the iTunes store and they have the album but it won't download the artwork. I tried matching the album name to the exact same name but that doesn't solve the problem. I can't see anything else that is listed differently in my details from the iTunes version...
I really want that high quality art from iTunes.
Anyone know what iTunes searches for to get the artwork?
Thanks in advance.
Pete

In my experience, the album, artist and song names must exactly match the ones of the iTunes Store.
The song names are less important when you're trying to get artwork for an entire album.
Sometimes I notice some songs in my library that don't have the exact name of the one in the Store, but the artwork does show up in iTunes.
Hope this helps.

Getting album art for imported music

I imported my wma music when I switched to iTunes. However, only one or two of the imported albums have album art. I enable the automatic album art retrieval tool in store/preferences, but I am still not getting album art on the imported music. I also imported some cd's, which, as I understand it, should get album art automatically; it hasn't happened. It it me? Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Are these items sold in the itunes store? It only fetches artwork on things it sells, so no AC/DC or Beatles artwork will be fetched.
Second, your tags have to exactly match whatever is in the iTS database. For example - a while back iTS had Led Zeppelin's Mothership listed under "Lead Zeppelin", so nobody was getting any artwork for it. They have fixed that one....

How To Get Album Art for my Songs?

Fix/revert the way it gets album art?

I tag all my albums "(01) Debut", "(02) Second Album", etc.. so they're in chronological order.
Anyway, after upgrading to the latest iTunes (I think I had 8.0.1 or something), it no longer gets album art for them, unless I change the album title to "Debut" and "Second Album"
It worked in the last version I had, why did you change it when it worked fine? This always happens with iTunes, each version gets more and more bloated...
Another thing, why does it go A-Z and then 0-9? What on Earth is up with that?
Can you fix it plz? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply Chris.
If I did sort album by year, it wouldn't work on my iPod. As for previously getting artwork with the correct title and then changing it. When adding music to my library, I tag it all first, and then click get album artwork, which always worked fine before. Also, I've done a fresh install of Windows before, reinstalled iTunes and added all my music (tagged with (XX) at the beginning) iTunes would automatically get the artwork. Now it's missing the artwork for 197 albums, so I don't really feel like changing them all manually...I guess I could use an older version of iTunes, but is this likely to be fixed in the future, as I'd rather have an up-to-date version of the programs on my computer.
And I know it's done A-Z, 0-9 for a while now, but I thought while I was posting about this I might aswell ask.
Thanks again.

Best way to get album art

what is the best program to use for getting album art?

Oooorrrr, if you're referring to getting an album cover into your iTunes (and eventually into your iPod when adding songs)..Amazon or google as was suggested (you can also click on Images when Googling) click on the album cover, drag and drop into the "Drag Album Artwork Here" space of iTunes. You can probably use the same procedure if you have your own images you'd like to add to each album/song...
