Add artwork for podcasts using iWeb

When I try to submit a video podcast to iTunes, which I have created on iWeb '08, my album arwork is shown as a purple question mark. Any idea how to upload the artwork for a podcast?

Have you had any luck finding an answer? I've been searching and have come to no resolution.

Is It posible to get album artwork for podcasts?

Hi ,
I wass wondering is it possible to get album artwork for podcasts and how do you do that?
Thanks for your help,
lizabler

Artwork for podcasts is inserted by the creator of the podcast. You can add artwork to a podcast if it doesn't have it already, but you would have to do this every time you download a new podcast. Highlight the podcast and go to File>Get Info>Artwork tab if you would like to add artwork.

Musician Wanting To Add Artwork For CD

I'm a musician who has just released a new CD. Where can I submit my album artwork so that people who buy my CD will see it when they import it into itunes.

That makes sense .
I could be mistaken but I thought that Apple used an
external entity to retrieve artwork and I was hoping
to submit to them directly.
I do plan to submit my CD to Apple in the near future
but I thought that this might be a quick option in
the mean time.
Apple uses an external provider called Gracenote (as in Gracenote CDDB) to obtain track/album/artist information when you insert an Audio CD. However Gracenote do not provide Album Artwork.
Apple therefore use their own iTunes store as the source of Album Artwork pictures for iTunes. Currently there are about 4 million tracks on the iTunes store with the notable exception of the Beatles. (A friend recently wanted to know why iTunes would not automatically add artwork for his Beatles CDs, it is of course because they are not [yet] on the iTunes store.)
The majority of Album Artwork on the iTunes store is 600x600 pixels, this compares with Microsoft's WMP and their equivalent source of Album Artwork which (even ignoring the incredible number of inaccuracies in their database) is a rather pathetic 200x200 pixels. Amazon and Walmart internet stores use 500x500 pixels.
Finally, yes, in order for your artwork for your CD to work in iTunes using this "Get Album Artwork" facility, your CD or tracks have to be on sale on the iTunes store. Part of the process of submitting your music to the iTunes store for sale will include providing artwork to Apple for inclusion.

Uploading .mp3 files vs. uploading .band files for Podcast on iWeb

I teach high school and have my students creating audio files for podcast on my iWeb site. Most of the students give me their files in .band format, but some give them to me in .mp3 format.
1) Can I upload the .mp3 file for podcasting to iWeb without turning it into a .band file (which I have been doing).
2) When I drag the .mp3 file into the GarageBand program and then upload it to iWeb, the autopage looks different (no date, no place to write a little blurb, etc.) Is there any way to get them to look the same when using the Share>send to iWeb feature.
3) I also receive frequent corrupted files (8-bit not supported with an abort button). I have never personally receive this message on files that I have created, but I can't figure out what my students are doing incorrectly--anyone know?
Thanks for any possible help.

I am putting a link to what I am talking about--maybe that would help?

Artwork for Podcasts

Hello,
I use podcasts on a daily basis. I have 8 different podcasts. Only, one of the podcasts' artwork showed up. I tried the "Get Album Artwork" button. Then, I tried "Clear Downloadeud Artwork" and then "Get Album Artwork". It still did not work. I tried unsubscribing, deleting and then subscribing and that did not work. I updated iTunes, that did not work. I would like the artwork with my podcasts. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

"Get album artwork" does not work for Podcasts, nor will your other attempts.
Artwork is added by the Podcast producer. Often they do not add it to episodes, but simply to the programme series that is displayed in the Store. Each epsiode can have its own artwork, therefore artwork needs to be added to each individual episode.
Podcasts are simply listed in the iTunes Store, they are not downloaded from the Store and therefore, you do not obtain them from the Store. They are downloaded from the Podcast producer's servers. So this is not something that Apple/iTunes controls, it's down to the Podcast producers.

Problems Exporting for Podcast Use

I've been doing some podcasting using iMovie HD and iWeb. some of them have been going fine. however, i've had a few where the video freezes (after export) but the audio keeps going. no matter how many times i export it or try different formats, they always freeze in the exact same place. can somebody help explain this to me and how i can fix it?

I have the same problem. The podcast created from iMovie freezes like 20 seconds into the run and the audio keeps going.

Is there really that much of a difference in
bandwidth speed between Firewire 400 and USB 2.0?
You'd have to do some web research to get solid numbers. I know what I've read, and experienced, and FireWire moves more data more easily. On paper, I believe USB 2.0 is speced to be faster (480mbs vs 400mbs), but with FireWire handling all it's own smarts in moving data, it just does a better job in the REal World.
guess I didn't think that with USB, bandwidth would
be something to consider, unless you are talking
Firewire 800 which most machines don't come with.
My opinion is that it really depends how far you are going to push the machine and GB. I'm working on a 52 or 53 track project, I need every bit and every cycle I can get (and it's playing fine via my FireWire drive)
I have to admit, I am kind of curious now ... maybe when I get a chance I'll try copying the project to a USB drive and see if it can still play it. If it can, perhaps the difference is small enough that it doesn't matter. Probably the REAL test, which I'm doubtful I'll tackle, would be pushing the project to just the point where it will play from the FW drive (iow, one more track and it can't), and then move that to the USB drive. Not perfectly scientific (fragmentation could be an issue, etc), but it would be interesting to try.
On the USB/Firewire using CPU issue, that I didn't
think about. I guess in some situations it might be
an issue, but again, for audio podcasting I just
didn't take that into consideration.
Yeah, for a PodCast, how many tracks are you REALLY going to create, half dozen tops? Maybe a few more for special-special effects, but they won't be playing through the entire cast, so, agreed, it's not likely to be an issue on a small project.
As far as one being better, or "cleaner" as an input
device, have there been any tests and results posted
on this? I would like to see that if there were.
The bus is not going to make a difference. All USB and FireWire are doing is moving the data, not changing it. Th quality comes from the Mic PREs and line-level preamps, the A/D converters, the mic you're using (the room...)
Thanks for your knowledge on all this.

Please help! - Artwork for podcast doesn't show up in iTunes store.

Hi there - My artwork doesn't show up in the iTunes store.
Artwork shows up fine in the downloaded episodes, but in the store, only the "plain" podcast icon shows up. It's been nearly a week.
-I published my feed with Feeder and host it on my site
-Feedburner pulls it in
-I submitted it myself in iTunes (using the feedburner feed-need it for stats)
-I have been approved, and people have started subscribing.
-Feed has been vetted, and appears to be ok.
iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=3485...
Feedburner Link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/meetingwithmasters
True feed: feed://bonehead.us/mwm.xml
Please help!
Thanks!

The image is correctly referenced in the feed and there is an image at that URL. Some people have found that it takes some time for the image to appear, even after the podcast itself has been approved and appeared in the Store. so I should give it another few days.

For those using iWeb without .mac

If you don't like the slideshow offered by iWeb when you don't publish to .mac, cheer up because there is a way to replace it.
iWeb dumps a folder called "SlideShow_assets" into your published folder. You can replace that with whatever favorite javascript or flash slideshow package you want, it just needs to get the image urls info and current slide index from the opening photo page.
I kinda like http://www.couloir.org/js_slideshow/ which is open source under the Creative Commons 'Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0' License. I adapted it to work with iWeb. Here's an example:
http://www.codemanic.com/iweb/Europe/La%20fotografia.html
You can use the same if you like, download here:
http://www.codemanic.com/iweb/SlideShow_assets.tar.gz
Whenever you publish with iWeb, replace the SlideShow_assets folder provided by iWeb with this one.
enjoy

Can I use this slideshow if I DO publish to .mac? I
couldn't find a "SlideShow_assets" folder, but I did
find a SlidShow_assets.html file which I replaced,
but that didn't work.
I don't think so. I don't have a .mac account so I cannot test (my trial period already expired too ). I looked at other people's .mac slideshows to spy how it works and the slideshow for .mac is slightly different. slideshow.html already has a js context with the images array, it doesn't take them from the opener context. So it's harder to just override the file. The code is a little different but I'm sure it could be modified to work... (unfortunately I don't have time to pursue this, so I'm not volunteering, sorry).

Why can't I add artwork for wav files

I have a few music in my iTunes that are in WAV audio format, in the get info I am not able to add missing artwork like I can do all the others audio format and yes I have tried the get album artwork from iTunes but it says could not be found. What is this?

Perhaps if you asked in the iTunes for Windows forum rather than here in the iPad in the Enterprise forum, someone might have suggestions.
Regards.

Can't add artwork for WAV file?

It's true. I tried. Is that supposed to happen? Why can't I put artwork on a WAV file in iTunes?

i think and am pretty sure that the album art is saved into the tracks data tags. There is a difference between the data tag on a file and the iTunes database infomation. Things like artist, album, genre go into the tracks data tag. Things like ratings and playcount go into the database file (see ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Database). If the artwork were stored in iTunes then it would global and across all formats and would not be retained if music is moved around. I think that album art is preserved if a track is moved and as you've pointed out album art can't be added to some formats such as WAV so i'm guessing that album art is a codec limitation. WAV is pretty old a raw uncompressed format that is much larger than mp3 or aac. You would need to convert the audio to one of these formats to add album art. To do this set your import options to one of these codecs under the importing tab in the advanced pane of the iTunes preferences. Then with the WAVs selected in iTunes go to the Advanced Menu in the main menu bar and click on 'Convert Selection to <Codec you chose>'
Hope that helps

HI,
Issue for Production is an Inventory Exit document (BoObjectTypes.oInventoryGenExit) where the base type is Production Order
Set the following on Invenroy Exit:
oPoExit.Lines.BaseType = 202; // production
oPoExit.Lines.BaseEntry = AbsEntry;
oPoExit.Lines.BaseLine = LineNumber;
Where AbsEntry is the Production order DocEntry field
LineNumber is the line number of Production order.
