About album arts

When I play some songs on my Windows Media player it usually recognizes an album art.
Playing the same song at iTunes almost never get me an album art.
So, when importing that song to the Nano, will there be an album art or no?
So confused here

No unlike the database that WMP uses CDDB the database that Itunes uses to get track names does not get artwork.
So unless you buy teh song from iTunes any artwork you want you need to add yourself

ITunes got smarter about album art, why not the iPod Classic?

I'm a long time iTunes fan and noticed that iTunes USED to be "stupid" about album art where the user had to paste the art in multiple times (into every track) or it didn't display in cover flow properly. And, once you did this, then a synched iPod would also display the correct album art on every track instead of SOME of the tracks, which I saw it do...
But the latest versions of iTunes have noticed got "smarter" and I have seen it now where you only need to paste in one image, and iTunes displays it as needed AUTOMATICALLY on all other tracks on the same album.
This is obviously a step forward, especially if you have 5,000 tracks on your iPod!!
I just got a new iPod Classic and I have concluded after a lot of technical research and experimentation that it is still "dumb", and seems to need the album art pasted into every track STILL. It's annoying to me as a computer scientist that the same feature or benefit isn't there on both platforms.
I know this is a pretty advanced question compared to the normal iTunes user, but I was hoping that someone could point me to a better solution than having to paste up to 5,000 album arts into my iPod?
Thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate any comments.

As a computer scientist I love your handle! Are you real? <jk>
I go way way way back with iTunes, I was using it to rip CD's, and as my primary music player on my desktops and laptops beginning in the 90s when it was Mac-only! Long before the iTunes Store even appeared, in fact. I don't actually have even one purchased iTunes store track, just have 5,000 ripped files from my own purchases. I also have edited the files I've imported, so my collection has only stuff I have pre-listened to and like personally, so I found Shuffle play to be a "100% win" and I use it exclusively on both my laptop and my iPod. It's a "100% win" because I stack the deck, to use an american expression.
I had a large CD collection of 500+ CDs so you can see I am a major music enthusiast. Unfortunately, I don't possess the CDs any more but I do have the electronic copies...
I loved how ITunes was time-optimized algorithmically to high efficiency in the ripping process (no doubt Steve Jobs guidance) and automatically looked up track names and artists on the Internet, and automatically managed the MP3s files too. It's competition (Winamp and WMP) still required you to manually manage everything. I also used the burn mp3 cd's function which made single-button burning of up to 12 hours of playlisted content a LOT.
So, that's why I do recall the early days when it was not as "smart" as it is now.
I visited your scripts page, a lot of very cool things there, but, if I understand correctly, Visual Basic doesn't work on OS X? That ***** MICROSOFT. Reminds me of when MS didn't support Apple clients on Exchange!
Any further suggestions?

New issue about Album Art

I sent this e-mail to Apple and was sent back a "follow-up" e-mail a day later that completely disregarded everything I said and didn't answer anything I asked. I figured if I post on this board I could actually get some help since the phone and e-mail already failed. My questions and all of the information are below:
I recently downloaded iTunes 7 and was excited about the new cover art feature. However, I have a problem while using it. I purchased the explicit version of the CD "Fly or Die" by N.E.R.D. at a store and had ripped it to my iTunes library. I wanted to get the proper cover art for the album so I created an iTunes account and then used the "Get Album Artwork" feature for a song on the CD. However, the cover art given to me was not the artwork with the "parental advisory" sign on it. I know this seems like a minor detail, but what bothers me most is that iTunes offers both cover art for the explicit version and the clean version of the CD and even though I have the explicit version I am stuck with the clean version's artwork. What puzzled me even more was the cover art's hue given to me from iTunes looked different from the version that can be seen in the iTunes store. You can notice this if you look at both covers from the iTunes store and then use the "Get Album Work" yourself. I don't know if this is a glitch within the system but I was wondering how I can get the explicit version's cover art now that iTunes offers ALL of their cover art and I had created an iTunes account based on this feature.
I have also noticed difficulty getting the explicit version of an album's cover art for many other CDs I have in my iTunes library. Is there a way to access them because I keep recieving the clean versions even though both should be available. My tracks are even named exactly like the explicit versions in the iTunes store. I hope something can be done about this and would appreciate a response whenever information about these subjects have been figured out.

Allistair Hart: I appreciate your investigation but I don't quite understand your results. Are you saying that you were able to access the "Fly or Die" explicit album art by using the "Get Album Art" feature or were you only talking about viewing it from the iTunes store? The iTunes store by the way DOES have both the explicit and clean versions of the album.
Nathan C: At first I tried searching for the album art based on the information I already had labeled for each track. That didn't work so I set my song information exactly the same as the way iTunes listed it but that didn't work either. Finally I labeled the song with the word "explicit" after it (I tried putting it after the album title, artist, and song title, using several combinations) but that also didn't work.

Adding scanned art for Album Art

I followed the itunes help on this topic and checked out some of the previous threads about album art with no real solutions to my problem:
I am using iTunes 7 and my brother just recorded an indie album which I added to my iTunes library. I then scanned the CD cover and made two copies:
a .psd file of 250x249 pixels
a .jpg file of 250x249 pixels
The iTunes Help says to command-click each item in the album, choose "Get Info" and then drag and drop the art into the little artwork box in the window. That kind of works. The file appears in the little window, but when I close the "Get Info" window on those items, the album art is not there. I also tried Browsing to the file with the same results. I tried both the JPG and the PSD file.
I also tried dragging the file from my desktop onto a single file and that won't "stick" at all. If I have a single song selected and try to drag the file from the desktop to the album art viewer, it won't go at all. It just "bounces" back to its spot on the desktop.
Is there a certain file type or size? I am the administrator of the computer. I tried things like ejecting the CD before dropping the art work on and I tried changing the iTunes view from the new "album art carousel" look to the standard iTunes view.
What could be wrong? Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There really is no standard file size, however, "less is plenty" applies. Jpeg is sufficient, and since it's basically for screen resolution on either the monitor or iPod, then the file sizes you mention are more than sufficient.
Odd, the artwork is not sticking. I usually copy/paste into the Artwork panel for a single selection. Multiple selections are similar to what you tried - drag/drop to the artwork panel, which automatically checks the box to the left of the panel. Upon selecting OK, iTunes updates the album or multiple selections (usually taking 20 seconds or so).
Might try moving the com.apple.iTunes.plist file in your User Library>Preferences folder to the desktop and restarting iTunes. You may have a corrupted preference file. On the restart, iTunes creates a new preference file. See if the artwork functionality is restored. If not, return the file to its original location. If the artwork placement does work, then you'll need to restore any custom iTunes preferences.
Post back with results.

How do i keep album art from syncing onto my ipod?

I really dont care about album art and the extra space would be nice. Is this possible? I have the 10.3.1.55 version if that helps.

To delete tracks from an iOS device, swipe from right to left over the song an tap on delete. When using iTunes Match your song will still be available in the Cloud. Good luck!

Cd ripper with album art support?

well, im having another irritation, in the couple months that i've been swtching over/migrating to linux, the transitions been easy enough after working with fedora and ubuntu to get my feet in the water. the large user base of those 2 distros definitely helped me find alternative programs for everything
but one thing i can't seem to find is a program to rip my cd's to mp3 and add album art. maybe i've taken one too many calls working zune supprot for someone whining about album art, its getting to me
i found this one but its for rox desktop, and i have no idea what that is mostly. i use kde, got comfortable with it. right now im ripping with kaudiocreator but then when i bring it into amarok, i have to paste my album art.
so im looking for a ripper that just does it for me

What do you mean by paste the album art when you bring it into Amarok? Amarok downloads the cover art for my albums from Amazon and it couldn't really be much easier since I'd still need to check it was getting the correct artwork even if it was integrated with my music ripper.

About a month ago, most of the Album art on my iPod just up and disappeared.

So, about a month ago, for no apparent reason at all, almost all of the album art on all of the music on my iPod just disappeared and was replaced by the default white art. It even happened to most of my purchased music! As time passed, some of it gradually re-appeared, which is really weird, but most of it is still gone. I have 174 albums on my ipod and about only 1/4 of them have art. Before this problem happened, almost every single album had art. I meticulously spend HOURS adding really nice album art to the music on my iPod, and then this happens.
I'm genuinely quite upset. I use my iPod a LOT and have put a lot of money into Apple. A problem like this should not be happening. I'm actually very tech-savvy (going to be getting a CS degree) but this problem baffles me at every turn and it's extremely frustrating.
So, last night, I tried to fix the problem again. I made an album in my music folder and added the proper information to each song, with an album cover (500X500 - all of my album art is 500X500) in the folder where the songs reside. I then plug my iPod in and open iTunes. I then go into file and add the album to my iTunes library, and then I go to the songs and add the album cover to their information via the "add artwork" submenu of the get info on the songs. I then sync the songs to my iPod normally, and the album art shows up on them. Great. Wonderful.
I then think, "Oh, maybe I can fix all of my OTHER album art manually!".
So I go to my artists on my iPod and find an album titled Asteroid (it's a song by Rameses B) which doesn't have a cover but should. I deleted it off of my iPod. I then plugged my iPod back into my computer and tried to re-sync the song Asteroid back onto my iPod but nothing happened. It WOULD NOT, and I mean WOULD NOT sync that **** song to my iPod. It just sat there like I never did anything at all. My method of syncing is that I find the song and drag-drop it to the iPod menu on the right side of my screen.
So then I kind of gave up for the night. It was midnight and I was done with this **** after trying to get that song to sync for at least 20 minutes.
So I eject the iPod from my computer (SAFELY) and close iTunes normally, bla bla bla, go to sleep.
I get up this morning and go to my music app and ALL OF MY ALBUM ART ON EVERYTHING IS GONE. *POOF*, gone. Including the songs that I'd synced last night! What the ****! How does that even happen?!
Some more information:
I'm running Windows 7 with a fully updated iTunes. My iPod is fully updated as well. As in iOS 7.1.0, non-Beta. It's an iPod touch 5th generation.
So, my question is, how the heck do I get my album art back on my darn iPod?! I have tried manually re-syncing individual songs after deleting them off of my iPod and they won't re-sync. I have also tried re-syncing my entire music library to my iPod, and the result was the same as before. Most of the album art didn't transfer to the iPod.
I'm extremely frustrated at this point. I'm at the very verge of jailbreaking this thing and iFunbox-ing all of my album art over to it forcefully. If Apple can't fix my problem, I will. I'm at that point right now.
Please help.
Thank you so much in advance.

I have converted most of my windows media files to itunes. However I had to close it down about 3 quarters of the way through. It then processed the album art. How can I convert the files that it didn't finish doing the first time? thanks

Hi there,
hope you can help me. I helped my sister convert her window media files to itunes and set up an account for her. Unfortunately her computer is really slow and it was really late and we had to turn it off. It processed some of the album art for the files that it had converted. However, some songs were not converted and because there was quite a few left, I don't really know which ones did not get converted as I selected all of the folders. How do I find out which ones I have left to convert and put the rest of the songs onto itunes for her please? Or are they on the itunes still as they showed up initially on itunes in the list to be converted.
Thank you!

You could convert them all again and then dedupe, or use a Windows search to reveal all the WMA files and then try to work out which still need to be converted. If you're lucky iTunes would have processed the imports in alphabetical path order so it would just be a matter of working out where it had got up to...

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.
I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

Adding Album Art to iTunes Local Folder?

I have a setup on iTunes on my Dell Dimension Desktop Machine. Basically I have uploaded ALL my CD collection to HDD in WAV format to retain sound quality.
My problem is with getting all the Album Art to work.
About one third of my collection iTunes does not have the Album Art? so I have scanned it all manually and placed an Folder.jpg in each Album/Track Folder.
I appreciate that WAV music files don't have a means of adding extra data to them like MP3 files, therefore, iTunes saves its own downloaded Album Art in a folder called "Download", there is also another Folder called "Local" which is where your manually added Album Art should go?
These are stored as .itc files
However then I try to manually try to add my own album art to the album, by selecting all tracks, Get info, Add album art to the white square and pressing OK nothing happens?
In the Artwork display box it say in large text "Artwork Not Modifiable"? for some reason?
Any ideas??

Hi Andrew. As far as plug&play, I have not found anything. My best bet was to use a proper utility to grab album art on a go forward basis for all new tracks, and then for the old tracks that have the incorrect metadata, I slowly go through, open up a browser with amazon.com loaded, and then search for the albums/related art that I need. Once I find it I click on the album art in the main browser, which spawns a child window with just the jpeg of the album art in it, and then drag and drop it from that browser into the album art pane. Far from plug and play, but it gets the job done.

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?

Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?
Also, in my iPod Touch 4th, it erase all album art from my iPod, then i tried to put again a new Album Art, ...download again from the image sites and still ...it didn't show up.? What a waste!
I waste all my time to set all album art on my iPod, then it just gone. kindly pls fix this issue. hate this new version of iTunes, so complicated.
The first thing i saw after i install new version of iTunes, it showed only music files. I don't know where to look for the old version of Sidebar. I keep on trying to look for it where I can see or any sign off button just to show up this stupid SideBar. Also, why i couldn't find? The "Menu Bar" is also hide!
Until i found out in "View" tab. Then i saw the Show Sidebar. Question? why do you need to hide that Side Bar? For what?. it is so so so complicated specially to those people who can't relate for this. (Also the button (from previous iTunes) to show the Album Art, now it's gone. I check every Tab, but there's no way to see the Album Art.)
Another comment. I download also some of my songs to my iPod, I wasted my time to collect all of my favorite music files. Also some are came from CD's and friends. I had all that favorite music in my iPod. Then the version iOS 5.+ came then I updated my iPod, another options to save files (iCloud) but I think there are something that I MISS about updating my iPod. Then suddenly I checked my iPod... all music (with Album Arts) are gone. All Apps are Gone. Videos as well.
If you don't know how to use that iCloud (with only 5GB storage), you'll gonna miss/lost everything.
Then I start all over again, i still have my BACK UP, good to have that. Now it's all set until I update the latest iOS 6. And another version of iTunes.
Then I realized my computer getting slow. I uninstalled it. My laptop started to work fast again. Then I download again the iTunes. So now I know, it has the ability to slow my computer. Everytime I turn on my iTunes, it hang. (Not Responding). Solution... CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Then every second time to open the iTunes, and it works. (it means, to open iTunes, need twice)
Then suddenly my laptop is not working. All my files has been corrupted. My Hard drive doesn't work properly. Now I don't have any stupid BACK UPs. My music files usage is 18 GB, only contacts, documents, notes, or some other files that can only fit to your "iCloud" not my 18GB music files and other photos. Your solution is to BUY more storage. Another COST! Another wasting time to set everything then need to pay more?
If you let your unit (iPod,iPhone,iPad) to export music to PC, or any mini SDcard to use as storage, it won't happen.
There is another....
It has Bluetooth, right?
Use less! Doesn't work. There's no way to use it.
All I need is to install an application to use your bluetooth. (for same unit or Apple unit only). And pictures only can send via Bluetooth if you an application.
Even if you go to "Photos" check if there's a way to send pictures? there is no way to send via Bluetooth, even Photos, Songs.etc. It can't even share some other friends (even they have own iPad, iPod, iPhone or same products) who has a unit with Bluetooth.
And the last.. only one port. there's no way to watch videos through HDMI. No HDMI port, no SD or any card slot. Must to buy their products.
Very costly!
I know (like iPod) it's very friendly to use it, but you must spend more money first before it can use.

Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.

This is definitely NOT your mother's Album Art Dilemma...

Alright guys, need some help. I was getting curious about winamp the other day, and I must confess, I left my beloved iTunes for a copy of my friend's Winamp Pro account. He put it on my computer and I sifted through all the problems that comes with using a new media player (some album art wasn't appearing anymore, some genres got messed up, etc) so I changed them all back to the way they were. About a week ago I was getting sick of winamp and wanted to get back to my old faithful iTunes. So I completely uninstalled winamp (started by going through the control panel uninstall, then noticed that the uninstall wasn't completely full, so I had to get advice from the winamp boards on how to completely uninstall winamp. Turned out I had to go into the system registry and delete some stuff, so I did so. Anyway, I THOUGHT I uninstalled everything... but it seems as though there's still a problem... I converted everything back to iTunes, and now some of my album art won't show up. So you're thinking: "Just select the songs, drag and drop the artwork and you're done," right? Wrong my friends. My iTunes was in pristine condition, everything was perfect. And now, for a few of my albums, the album art is no longer a differentiable parameter. In other words, I select all the songs from an album, click "get info," drag the artwork into the box, click "ok," and nothing happens... seriously... nothing. And I've tried going into each individual song and adding the artwork... Tried dragging the artwork into the lower lefthand box that shows album art (the one that says "drag album artwork here")... Pretty much tried everything...
So, if you decided not to read all that, here's the short version. My album art is no longer a tweakable parameter. After switching to and back from winamp, my album artwork simply does not show up for some albums, and iTunes won't let me add artwork in any way (trust me... I've tried 'em all). Any suggestions?
Oh, and also, one weird thing is that, for a short while, the album art would not show up in the cover flow mode, but it would show up in the lower lefthand box when the song was selected. After switching to another song, the album art "magically" appeared in the cover flow... hmmmmm.....
HELP PLEASE!!

I used to have this problem whenever I brought music home from work (co-workers would bring it in and I'd take it home on a flash drive).
I found that there was something in the ID3 from WMP-9 that iTunes-6 wouldn't get around so the artwork was unchangeable.....until:
I selected all the songs that I couldn't add art for, and then went to Advanced, and chose "convert to mp3 - now "create mp3 version").
One iTunes had made a new copy, suddenly I could add the artwork.

Elusive Album Art

Hello,
I recently made it a project to find and in some cases add my own album artwork for the entire list of music in my iTunes library (I have no life I know). In iTunes every track has a piece of album artwork to accompany it. On my iPod however there are about 20 albums whose artwork is just black. It isn't the grey music note that shows there is no album art downloaded but just a black square. I'm not sure why it is doing this because you can see the images perfectly fine in iTunes.
For Example: the song "Like a Stone" on the "Audioslave" album by Audioslave displays a black square on my ipod rather than the true album cover.
I am also finding that a few albums have the grey note as an image when in iTunes they have an actual picture. The albums with a grey note are weird because usually one or two of the songs on that album display the artwork when being played while the others do not and show the grey music note.
For Example: the album "Who's Next" by The Who.
Behind Blue Eyes - displays downloaded album art
Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again - displays grey music note
In the Coverflow view a grey note is displayed for the above album.
Any help would be excellent. Thanks.

*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.
*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size.

Error -60 and No Album Art

So I bought a new cd and burned it to iTunes. (for some reason the track info didn't come up either, but that's not my problem) I started syncing my iPod and it came up saying iPod cannot be synced error -60. I've looked through the forums and saw that supposedly a song is corrupted. Well I only had another album on my iPod since I last synced my iPod so I deleted that album and the one I just burned. I also noticed with the 2 albums I put on my iPod the song will play 2-5 seconds and skip songs. I saw the song that wouldn't sync and created an AAC (or ACC I forgot which it is) and resynced it. Yet another song wouldn't sync. Now these songs that are apparently "corrupt" I've had on my iPod for a long time. I don't know what's up.
I put the cd I burned on my iPod again and it synced, but there's no album artwork. I have it on iTunes, but it's not showing up on the iPod. I tried "get album artwork" (and it found it) and also getting it off the Internet. Neither works.
Also for some reason I can't eject my iPod. It says files are being used, even though iTunes is the only program running. So I have to go into my computer and it still takes 3 tries to eject it. This only started happening 3 days ago, and it's really getting on my nerves.
So here are my questions:
1. Error -60, how can that be fixed
2. Why is my iPod only playing 2-5 seconds in a song and then skipping
3. Why is the album artwork showing in iTunes, but not on my iPod ( This is only for the 2 new albums I've put on my iPod, the rest of the songs still have their artwork)
4. Why can't I eject my iPod without it saying it's in use.
All these problems only started 3 days ago when I synced my iPod for the first time in about a week. Oh btw please don't tell me to restore my iPod, I have over 8,000 songs.
Any help?

I had the same issue and came to the boards for help. Sure enough a simple reboot of the phone did the trick.
As for songs cueing up at the end or in the middle; I've had that same issue but haven't had it for a couple weeks.
I'm hoping that it's been resolved but one thing to try if you haven't already is to remove all playlists and songs then re-sync (a reboot in between might help; I didn't do that but it certainly can't hurt).
Anyway, rebooting your iPhone should fix the album art lock screen issue.
Good luck.

Wrong album art when using PC library

I have a new iPad 2. I also have iTunes running on a PC.
On the PC, all of the album art is correct, but when I connect over Wi-Fi to my iTunes library on the PC from my iPad using the Music app, some of the albums have the wrong art work. Most are correct but some albums (which works out to quite a few) show the art work to other albums in my library.
Also, when I connect to my iCloud library from the iPad, all of the albums have the correct artwork. So, the problem only occurs when I connect to my PC's library from the iPad.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Is there a way to force the Music app to forget what it thinks it knows about my PC library so that it'll have to start from scratch?
I'm using iTunes Match on both the PC and the iPad.
I've searched the web and found some other people complaining of the same thing but always with different scenarios and the rare times a solution is suggested it doesn't seem to apply to my scenario.
iTunes v.10.5.1.42, on PC (Win 7, x64)
iPad v.5.0.1

I think I just figured out one way of forcing the Music app to start over with the library. Log into a different account, reboot, and start the Music app. Then log back into the correct account, reboot again, start the Music app, and connect to the PC library. It should start from scratch.
Perhaps there is a simpler way to accomplish the same thing.
The album art appears to be correct now.
