Where is the album artwork when you store songs in an external harddrive?

I have all my songs on an external flash drive but I have the I-tunes program on the C drive of my windows laptop.
In I-tunes I pointed the storage to the E drive and it all works fine.
But there is one wrinkle. It looks as if some of the album artwork is still stored on the C drive and NOT in the I-tunes folder in the E drive.
I know this becasue when I hit "add folder" and added the entire contents of my I-tunes folder on the E drive I:
1 got all my songs - no problem
2 encountered a delay as the program told me it was finding artwork for about a third of my songs.
It looks like the E drive has artwork for all the albums to which I manually added artwork. But it does not have the artwork for songs where the artwork came from the advanced / get album artwork function.
Weird eh? Any thoughts?

Start > Run > diskmgmt.msc
Right-click on drive H: and click Change Drive Letter and Paths...

  • I recently purchased Foo Fighters Sonic Highways on iTunes.  Where is the album artwork, liner notes and pictures?   When purchasing/downloading entire album on iTunes, do you get this information with the purchase?

    The album cover art should show on the album in the Music part of your library. For other pictures and/or notes, does the album description page in the store say that it's an iTunes LP (does it have an LP label against it in the store) ? If not then you will just get the tracks.

  • How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?

    Hi Folks,
    How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?
    I go in-and-out of the iPod app quite a lot (I use the iPad to help me while practicing music and I use multiple apps), so it's frustrating to have to constantly close the album artwork. 
    Apologies - I saw many threads about this but none that answered how to ALWAYS stop iTunes from jumping to artwork.  If I missed the correct thread, I would appreciate a link.
    Thank you.

    That's what I thought - Apple generally has clean interfaces, so if I can't find an option to do something, it probably doesn't exist.
    Thank you for a quick answer - and yes, I'll add this feedback.
    I also just dropped Google feedback to PUT THE HOME LINK BACK IN THEIR LOGO.
    What madness came over them to remove it??
    I heard their engineers had a battle over this decision as well.

  • Where is the Album Artwork saved that iTunes doesn't automatically download

    I recently downloaded iTunes 7 and I love it's ability to show the album/CD art. Some of my CD's art was available on the iTunes store which the program downloaded automatically but the majority of it I had to find manually online. (Just FYI, Amazon Album Art is a fabulous widget to help with this, <www.widget-foundry.com/widgets/amazonart.htm>) Hours and hours later (large MP3 collection) I'm done. Now, as I have the same music library library on my office computer I want to have the art there as well. I copied the Album Artwork folder from my Home>Music>iTunes folder onto the office computer and launched iTunes but the only artwork visible was the artwork that the iTunes program had automatically downloaded. Where is the artwork that I painstakingly copied/pasted into the iTunes at home? Is it kept somewhere other than the Album Artwork folder?

    Artwork that you manually add in the manner you describe is embedded inside the music files themselves (i.e. inside the mp3 files are you using).
    Therefore if you use those same mp3 files on another computer the artwork will instantly be available.
    Power iTunes users [including myself] prefer this approach [embedding artwork] for exactly this reason. I have therefore taken any artwork iTunes 7 downloaded itself and forced it to embed it in to my music.
    I also have a suspicion that simply copying the [downloaded] artwork folder to another computer would probably not work since it appears it is using reference numbers in the file names which would be different on a different computer.

  • What happens to the old artwork when you add new or updated artwork

    I have been in the process of updating the artwork in my iTunes library to provide the highest quality images available. I obtain this from a variety of sites including using the "Get Album Artwork" in iTunes, using the album artwork widget, using a search on Google Images and from anew site recently recommended that provides exceptionally quality album artwork.
    When I obtain these from either Google Images or any third party site I typically drag a copy to my desktop and then I go to "Get Info" on the particular album title and either drop and drag the artwork into the box or int he cases where I have to crop some of the area or color adjust I copy in paste over the existing artwork.
    My question and concern is what is happening to the original artwork I had stored in iTunes? When I copy and paste or drop and drag is the existing image being erased or as I fear am I accumulating a huge folder of obsolete artwork somewhere that is ever growing and taking up more and more of my disk space for storage? If this is the case how do I find these artwork files and delete them?
    Thank You

  • Where's the *.pkg go when you do Software Update??

    Hi there!
    Very interesting questions here....
    When updating certain programs, specifically the Pro apps, there is a delta update that you can download from apple.com or you can just do Software Update and gets to the update that way.
    My question is when you update using Software Update, and a download of a delta patch is completed and the program updates the app, there is a receipt left in /Library/Receipts, but where does the *.pkg end up? I look in /Library/Packages and can not find it. I am sure there is a secure pathname that is locked. 
    I would like to find these *.pkg to keep as they are smaller than the dmg's you can download from apple.com. So, just in case I need to re-install these updates I could do this just from these packages; either using Pacifist another app.
    So, any advice on this matter please send to [email protected]
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi DrRebar,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    When you download the standalone installers from the Apple download page they are at your default download location.
    If you used Software Update there are 3 options: Install, Install&Keep, Download only.
    In the first case (which is also the default() the package is deleted after the installation. In both other cases the packages are kept in /Library/Packages.

  • 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

  • When I listen to a song, all I can see is the album artwork!

    Earlier today, I must've pressed something on the iPod to put it into a mode where I can only see the album artwork when I listen to a song - or even worse, if it doesn't have one, it's just a blank square. A while ago I read about some way to put it like this, but I can't remember what it was or how to reverse it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you tried pressing the middle button to cycle views? There is one view that is similar to how you describe, although it only lasts a few seconds and I wasn't aware you could use that view by default.
    You could also trying restoring your iPod.
    Good Luck!

  • Automatically Add Album Artwork when adding new music

    Does anyone know how you can have iTunes automatically discover the album artwork, if you already have it?
    I am backing up CDs and music which I already have converted to some digital format, and trying to compile all my music together from my wife and myself in a central location.
    Many of the artist music folders already have an artwork image there associated with it.
    So when adding a folder, is there a way to have iTunes automatically "see" that album cover? Would it be a convention for naming the file? Or a file size/picture size thing? Or place it in a specific location when importing?
    Yes, I do know you can manually do it, which is fine for an album or two. But our collective media libraries are a mess, and there are hundreds of albums to import.
    Also, I know you can use iTunes to "Search for missing album art work" but I also know that process is flawed, does not always turn up the correct art, and also does not code the artwork along with the track, so if you move music later on, the whole process starts over again.
    I would imagine there has to be a way to kick iTunes to recognize the associated artwork automatically upon import. Any suggestions?
    (ps - i use Windows XP Pro, iPhone 3G 16GB, iTunes 9.0.3.15)

    If you're adding music to iTunes, use the Add to Library function. That's what it's there for. iTunes will be happy that way and if you have smart playlists set up, they will be filled with the new additions.

  • Album artwork isn't showing up in album view (where all the albums are) but IS showing up when you drill into the specific album.

    The album artwork isn't showing up in the album view where all the different albums are shown but when you drill into the specific album then it is shown.  This seems to be a recent problem as it wasn't happening in the past.

    Nope, that doesn't work.  First, I manually manage the music, but even deleting and using auto-fill, doesn't put all the album art in place even though it is all on the songs in iTunes.  Even copying and pasting from iTunes to the iPhone does not get the artwork to show up, despite the fact it shows up in "Info" on the iPhone in iTunes.  Plus there seems no rhymn nor reason as to the missing artwork, some ripped songs have it, some purchased songs do not. Bizarre!  But I've run across this problem every since time I've restored an iPhone and had to redo the music separately, however, previously I could manually drop and drag the song over after the auto-fill to replace (after deleting on the iPhone) and the artwork would show up.  Not this time however.  This is one of those details I find extremely annoying!
