Advanced,, Adding "Get Album Artwork"

Under Advanced,, Adding "Get Album Artwork".........
Does this feature only look for artwork of the items Highlighted???
1) Seems when I do this, I see a lot more songs being searched than the few I've selected. (So I stop right away.)
2) Will this feature replace artwork already there?
3) Which artwork would be selected for multiple albums; oldest - newest etc.
Thanks for any help

Thanks for reply
I have lots of before iTunes MPS's And lots of ripped CD's. So the source is not known (no title).
But the same songs are on numerous CD's today. I am now catching up on a few thousand picts but would prefer an artist picture from a CD / LP and selectable. I dont want iTunes to fill in things throughout my whole collection.
Now that I think about it,,, I dont think it will work at all if there is no title. And I filled the Album field with other info. So I'm out of luck and answered my own question I suspect.

  • Trying to get Album Artwork

    I have been trying to get album artwork (Advanced Tab -> Get Album Art) and then once it asks me if I'm sure I want to get it, iTunes 'encounters a problem and needs to close'. Anyone know whats going on or how to fix this?
    Or another way to fix my library with the album art its missing?

    Well I don't know what to say about you first problem. However I may be able to help with getting album artwork. When itunes cant find it I usually go to cduniverse.com and search for the album i'm looking for. When you find it just simply copy and paste. Hope that helps.

  • When I "Get Album Artwork", iTunes always returns a result that artwork for one song could not be found; but the song is not in my library.

    When I "Get Album Artwork" in  iTunes 10.4.0.80 running under Windows 7, iTunes can find the missing artwork requested.  But it also returns the same result, "Artwork for "Aught 7 - Mother Chorizo" could not be found.  The problem is I do not have the song or any song from Aught 7 in my music library.  I'm guessing this is an issue with a corrupted iTunes database.  Can someone tell me how to correct this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. delete this songs from your liblary
    2. go File -> Add File to Liblary... (Ctrl+O) or File -> Add Folder to Liblary

  • Getting Album Artwork for songs NOT in iTunes and ONLY on iPod

    Hello
    Am I missing something obvious here? I am struggling with the album artwork feature for use in the coverflow section of the iPod Classic 80GB. I do NOT keep all of my songs in iTunes as my laptop hard drive is just not big enough.
    My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work. Only trawling through countless forums on various websites I've discovered that possibly the artwork is only updated for songs you have in the iTunes library or only for songs bought on iTunes. I have 1000s of CDs I've uploaded onto my iPod (surely lots of people do not keep their music in iTunes for the same reason as me - small hard drive?)
    There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out? Or if not, somebody should come up with a fix on an independent website. By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
    I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.
    Thanks

    My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work.
    Correct. It's meant to access your iTunes library and add artwork from the iTunes store.
    There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out?
    Nothing that I know of because it's meant to work this way.
    By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
    No, because as I say, it's meant to add artwork in the iTunes library (although even this can sometimes be an issue if the album info obtained from Gracenote doesn't match what's in the iTunes store.)
    If an iPod is set to manage the songs manually, then it's possible to add the artwork to the songs directly onto the iPod (when looking at them through iTunes) without adding it to the songs in iTunes. Just copy paste an album image from (say) Amazon into the artwork box in the bottom left corner when looking at the songs on your iPod through iTunes.
    However, I have found that if you are adding artwork directly to the iPod via iTunes and not to songs in the library first of all, then some (or all) artwork may not display correctly.

  • ITunes 7.0.2 get Album Artwork issue

    Hello,
    I use iTunes 7.0.2. I am putting all my cd's onto my new MBP and for some reason iTunes stopped finding Album Artwork for Albums it already found in iTunes 6 and 7.0.1 when I use the "get Album Artwork" function in "advanced".
    I already looked at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304339 and tried it with this option enabled and disabled but none of it helped.
    I also looked through 10 pages of the forum already with the search but did not find any help for my problem. so I hope you can help me.
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    I've just installed 7.0.2 and have the exact same issue. I just imported several CD's and iTunes refuses to find the album art. I've confirmed the ablums exist in the iTunes Store.

  • Getting album artwork for CD's

    Yo, one more question, I have all my CD's in iTunes. However, none of them have artwork. Is there any good third party software/ way to easily get album artwork for all my CD's thanks!

    The best app for adding artworks to hundreds of tracks at a time is iTunify:
    http://mistatree.org/Shareware/iTunify/index.html
    It lets you import & export artwork from/to image files on your HD with ease!

  • Getting album artwork stalls

    when i go to Advanced and choose Get Album Artwork, it stalls when it gets to "getting 210 of 2046". i have all of the latest software updates and dont know what else to do. Any suggestions out there? thanks

    That is not true, I left my iTunes open for 28 hours now, and it is still stuck on the same album for me. It's stuck on album 553 of 669, and if I quit, I'm afraid it won't keep the 552 it retrieved artwork for. Please help! How can I get artwork? This problem is the same everytime I try and get artwork, and it stops on different albums each time. It must have something to do with the internet going out for a moment while it's searching.

  • Having trouble getting album artwork for CDs that ARE in Music Store

    I've got about 300 of my own CDs (not purchased through ITMS) on my computer and iTunes 7 only downloaded about 20 covers automatically. I have gone through and made sure all of my albums and artists are spelled correctly as well as putting all of the years of the releases.
    I can not get any of the album artwork to download.
    Also, the iTunes mini store doesn't open. When I click show mini-store, only a bold line on the bottom of the screen comes up, but the mini store does not open all the way.

    When iTunes 7 was first released the iTunes store got swamped by people updating their artwork (like yourself), this meant it would often only manage to do a few albums at a time. In this situation telling it to try again (and again) was the solution.
    However by now the number of users hitting the store should be lower and this less of a problem.
    Another problem that affects me and others, is that the "Get Album Artwork" command only seems to search the US iTunes store (even if your account is logged in to a different country), this means that at best you might get the wrong artwork, and sometimes no artwork at all. Of course you are apparently in Florida and therefore would want to use the US store and so not be affected by this problem.
    I see you have the misfortune to be using Windows XP, and even worse a Dull Inspiron! You might want to check to see if your firewall [you are using a firewall aren't you?] is interfering with iTunes contacting the iTunes store.
    Rather than using the "Get Album Artwork" command in the "Advanced" menu, try instead selecting a single album, and right clicking and then selecting "Get Album Artwork" from the pop-up menu.
    It might help if you give an example of a problematic album/artist/track name. Also can you confirm the format the track is in? WAV does not support embedded artwork for example.

  • How to get album artwork from amazon

    How can I get album artwork from amazon ?

    iTunes will only fetch artwork for albums that are on sale in the iTunes Music Store (and sometimes even that doesn't work if the info tags aren't identical). If you have a lot of albums that are older, obscure or simply not licensed for sale in the store iTunes won't add any artwork.
    If the artwork isn't available in iTunes you can also add images of your own manually. You'll get information on both methods at this link: iTunes for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
    When you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork which you can copy to your computer: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
    If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.

  • ITunes 10.7.0.21 no longer 'gets album artwork'

    It used to be the case until very recently, that you could always get the album artwork for tracks either imported from CD, or bought from other stores by choosing 'Get album artwork' from the right click menu, and sometimes you had to modify the name of the artist or album in order for it to match the iTunes one, but it doesn't work at all anymore. It always comes back with 'Artwork for xxxx could not be found'.
    Has anyone else come accross this, and might know why, and how to fix it?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I bet if you buy the songs from the iTunes store it will work.

  • Get Album Artwork doesn't recognize mainstream artists

    I ripped my mp3 collection from Audiograbber using Freedb (a free database for album info) and put them onto an external hard drive. I've added the folder to my iTunes music library, but when I try to get album artwork, it says "Could not get artwork for some albums." and lists albums from artists like Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin (48 in total). When I actually go look at each file, it has enough tag information to find the album (title - "Back in the Saddle", artist - "Aerosmith", album - "Rocks", genre - "Hard Rock"... everything it needs).
    What about the file is iTunes not recognizing? Audiograbber uses ID3 tags.

    So if the album isn't available in the iTunes store, it's not recognized? That's ridiculous. That's like saying if I don't buy through iTunes, I shouldn't use iTunes to sync my music to my iPod. That sounds like Apple again following only wherever the dollar goes.
    Windows Media Player uses All Music Guide, which stores everything whether you can buy it through anybody or not. Apple makes great devices, but they're continually pushing me away from them because they put the almighty dollar first and me second. Hopefully Google will integrate their online music service and I won't have to worry about whether an album I can buy just about anywhere won't be recognized by Apple's proprietary dollar-munching service.

  • 'Get Album Artwork'

    Why won't iTunes let me use the 'Get Album Artwork' command without giving credit card details to sign up for a downloading account in the iTunes store? I don't want to do anything that costs money.

    You don't have to pay for artwork downloaded using iTunes. However since iTunes accesses the iTunes Store to fetch the artwork you do need an iTunes Store account, you can create the account and once it's created go back into your profile and remove the credit card details.
    Just an aside, iTunes will only fetch artwork for albums that are on sale in the iTunes Music Store (and sometimes even that doesn't work if the info tags aren't identical). If you have a lot of albums that are not available to iTunes because they are older, obscure or simply not at present licensed for sale in the store then iTunes won't add any artwork. If there are any album covers you want that you can't get from iTunes you can get images from various other sources and add them manually.
