How to edit/delete album cover art

A number of my iTunes album covers downloaded from 'Get album artwork' are the wrong ones - either wrong artist or wrong album. But I can't find a way to edit/delete them and replace them with the correct album-art that I have sourced myself. IWhen I try to drag in a new cover over the top of the existing one it simply reverts, after a few seconds, to the existing cover. I am not a computer whiz so I have no understanding of attacking this problem from the back end - eg .itc files and other mysteries. Surely there must be a more user-friendly solution. Any practical advice would be much appreciated.

IF YOU click on the song in particular, the artwork pane will be available and you can delete, add and edit from there. I had a similar problem and it was down to the album being originally part of a compilation - ie I had changed all the songs to one album, which then confused the artwork. Tyr clearing the album name, and reinput

    The latest iTunes version is 11.3.1. If you have iTunes 12 beta, you will need to ask your question in the Developers Community.

    Select the song and open the "Get Info" window (Cmd + I or File > Get Info).  Select the artwork tab.  Select the artwork and click the "Delete" button.  Use the "Add" button to select the replacement art or just drag it into the window.  Click "OK" to save your changes.

  • I am unable to update my album art since I commenced using match (and after upgrading to Yosemite).  How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

    I am unable to update my album art on my iMac since I started using Match (and after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3).  A message advises that it's not possible to removed old artwork if it's embedded.  How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

    Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track.  However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player.  To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file.  Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork.  iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files.  You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
    I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details.  To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close.  To do it for  single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete.  Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

  • HT2729 When I updated my apple phones with IOS7, the music videos can no longer be viewed in widescreen mode on the phone. When I turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video, album cover art pops up. Any idea how to change that? I hate

    After the IOS7 updates, when we are viewing music videos on my phones I can no longer turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video. I can only see it widescreen in vertical mode which is much smaller. Now when you turn it sideways, it pops up album cover art and I hate that. Is there a way to fix that?

    We are just users like you and don't know why Apple does what it does. This is not a place to "vent," it is a place to ask technical questions. As of now there is no way to change or modify the way these folders appear in Windows Explorer. You can provide feedback to Apple about this issue at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • How do I turn off album cover art on my lockscreen??

    I can't stand that when I am playing my music on a train or bus that when I go to unlock my phone the album cover art shows up all over my phone screen like so. 
    It's annoying. What if I am listening to Backstreet Boys and I happen to go for the unlock while sitting next to some beautiful girl I might ask on a date. Now I have a big picture of the Backstreet Boys on my phone screen and bam! she automatically judges me laughs on the inside and now I have ZERO chance of landing that date before she could even get a chance to know me. Not that I care what people think, but it could be a thing, you know? Anyone have any fixes for this?

    Go to Settings > General > Accessiblity and set the VoiceOver option to "off."

  • Album Cover art

    I like the idea of being able to browse using cover art but it is only a useful feature if you can get most cover art . There are many albums for which iTunes has album cover art, albums which I own original copies of, for which I can't get album art.
    Examples: Sigur Ros /Saeglour, T-Bone Burnett /True False Identity, Paul Simon/ Surprise, Graceland, all of Van Morrison's albums, most Dylan and Neil Young albums and many others.
    Apple put this feature on I Tunes, but many album covers which you show on the Itunes store website don't download. I have both checked "automatically download missing album artwork" in preferences and requested Get album artwork in the Advanced Tab . If I control click on the album artwork on iTunes store, I can't even copy the image to paste it in manually. Also, when I request album art I often get an "unable to download certain artwork " message with no further explanation. If I'm supposed to buy the album art I'd like to know how and how much.
    What's up?

    The spelling was ok since almost all were entered using gracenote. Anyway it suddenly started working. without changing anything I could tell I asked again to get album artwork from the Advanced tab and it started downloading 400 album covers. whatever. So my problem wasn't answered but it is solved. thanks for the google image search idea. So I guess I'll mark it answered.

  • Screen saver - album cover art?

    I just setup my Gen 3 ATV and I noticed while setting up my screen saver that I didn't have the option to use my album cover art for the saver like I was able to do with my GEN 1 ATV.
    Anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks!

    Just figured out how to do this...Go into Screen Saver and select "Floating (covers)" or "Cascade (covers)" and then your music cover art will become your screen saver on your GEN 3 ATV using your iTunes library.

  • IOS 5.1.1 my album cover art is mixed up?

    After installing the latest iOS 5.1.1 in my iPhone 4S all the album cover art is mixed up when I add new albums. It seems to pick any random album cover, rather than syncing the correct one from iTunes.
    How do I fix this, or is this a bug in 5.1.1 ?

    After some testing with an ipad pre 5.1 and an iphone and ipad at current patch level it appears this is a problem with the latest ios update. Hopefully they fix it soon.

  • Lost Album Cover Art

    When you download music from iTunes, you also download the album cover. I ended up wiping my hard drive a few months ago due to a virus, and had backed up all my music, but lost the album cover art. I would like to back them up, but I don't know where to look. Where are they stored in the computer?

    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.

  • Why does iTunes randomly change my album cover art?

    For some reason (usually after I sync my iphone 5s to my laptop), iTunes (or the phone) will switch out random album cover art. Why is this happening? Is it a bug? It's driving me crazy!

    Nobody can help???? Please -- this is a VERY BAD glitch/bug/whatever you want to call it...it is permanently deleting my music!

  • IPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 Album cover art STILL missing

    The album cover art IS in my iTunes 100% but only a few of the album covers appear in my new iPhone 4S updated to 5.0.1 and re-booted several times.
    HELP please as I USED TO use album cover art ti help select songs to enjoy.

    Sounds like memory leak - basically the code for an app or program is not getting the message that it needs to terminate its operation, so it continues to run in the background (even if you remove it from the multi-tasking tray when you double click the home button).  This is probably preventing your iphone from entering its "idle state" or "sleep mode".  This would result in your standby and usage time being almost identifical.

  • Where is my album cover art?

    I've been using iTunes for years. I've used it to manage the large CD collection that I had before the creaton of the iTunes store.  My collection now contains CD's that were purchased after the store opened.
    In earlier years, the cover artwork for my CD's for the most part was supplied by Apple.  I also used All Music and Amazon in cases where Apple did not have what I needed.
    I've just installed version 11.1.2 of iTunes.  I've discovered - again - that many of the album artworks that I had before the uprade have disappeared. I suspect that is because the album is no longer available in the iTunes store. I can understand that - if the album is being purchased now.  But why does Apple strip from iTunes the artwork that I had BEFORE the upgrade?  That doesn't seem fair.
    There is another issue that is a part of this topic.  Earlier versions of iTunes had an option whereby I could search for album artwork through the iTunes software.  That seems to have disappeared. Why?  Must I now go through the laborious process of locating album cover art on my own, CD by CD, even though I had the art before the software upgrade?
    This is really annoying. Over and above the unfairness of it all.

    When album art is downloaded, it is stored locally, The iTunes store has nothing to do with it after that. It will appear even if you disconnect from the Internet altogether.
    Aside from that I have no idea why some artwork disappeared.
