Album art and long songtitle (zen v pl

The zen v plus will put the album art on the left side of the screen. This causes an issue when the songtitle is too long: the songtitle will now scroll. Can I change the way album art is shown? I would find it nice if the songtitle was above the album art, and the artis + albumname under it (this could solve the scrolling songtitle issue). Canthis be changed in de settings?

Hi,
Yap... I'll pass this to them for their reconsideration.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Album art and error 50

hi there!
ok heres the deal. i have a brand new 30GB ipod video and i use windows XP (sp2) with itunes 6. Like many other people on here, my album work was showing up in itunes, but not on my ipod. i added the artwork via my ipod in the source list. i have unchecked the box that says wheather or not to display album art, then disconnected the ipod and reconnected it. i then rechecked the album art box in the preferences and it began to "optimize album art" and update. when it was supposed to be finished it gave me error 50...something like "the ipod [my ipods name] could not be updated because of an unknown error (-50)"
i have looked all over the apple site and all through discussions yet no answers have come my way. please help. thanks.

This worked for me too. My ipod is now displaying the album art again.
im FLABBERGASTED! i was fiddling with itunes and
the
album art (i added the artwork to the library even
though it was already on the ipod) and nothing was
working. i got the same error. then...my cat was
walking around by my pc cords and accidently
unplugged it from the wall. everything went off.
my
ipod went back to its main menu (from the do not
disconnect)i picked it up just to see how it was
acting and now all the album art is showing
up....im
not telling all of you to improperly dc your
ipods...im just plain flabbergasted....
hey... i was having the same problem, and i tried
that, and it worked for me too! thanks. just
disconnect your ipod without ejecting it on the pc.

Album Art and Vi

I used to be able to create my own album art and drag and drop it in Creative Media Explorer by since moving on to Vista this isn't possible. Anyone got a solution or point me to somewhere, perhaps within the forums, where I can find one.

Reconnect your iPod to your pc. Open itunes. In itunes->edit->preferences->ipod go to muisc. At the bottom select Show Album Art. Click Ok. Then go edit->preferences->ipod->photos. Make sure you have pointed the sync to a folder that has photos in it. Select ok.
In the left pane of iTunes right click ono the name of your Ipod and select UPDATE.
That should do it. Post back your results.

Cover flow into album art and how to control iTunes from another app.

Hi all 2 areas of concen, one is coverflow/ album art and the other is itunes controller:
I have searched but cannot find the answer to this:
1) I have some songs with album info already, and I used iTunes to get the album art for coverflow etc. ... some songs from the same album did not have the album category filled in, I go back and fill it in: now how do I get iTunes to recognize the album art so it shows up for the newly corrected songs?
2) In coverflow, iTunes picked the wrong album cover, can I manually fix it/pick the right one?
3) will coverflow only show album art for those albums recognized by iTunes, or will it use album art that I get from other sources and add manually? And what will show up in my ipod?
and lastly
4), is there anyway to control iTunes without switching apps (if I am working in Word or safari and want to skip a song, etc)...is there an overlay controller?
TIA

Copy the entire folder from one drive to the other, change the path that iTunes is using to access the library.

Displaying album art and bio info

I know how to get thumbnail sized album art to appear in the bottom left-hand of iTunes. Is there a more souped-up way to get album art and band bio to appear?

To make the album art appear, hit the fourth button from the left in the bottom left corner. The one with the triangle on it. Of course, to see a albumcover, you'll first need to include them in a tracks ID3- tag.
As iTunes doesn't include the band bio in the ID3- tag, you won't be able to display it.

Trying to change album art and album info on ipod

i am trying to change the album art and album info on my ipod touch while it is plugged into itunes but while it shows in the itunes window that this information is gone, the ipod still has it and won't update ??
i have a nano that contains all my music with full description but would just like to transfer a handful of songs to my touch and don't want the albums listed and song titles because i just have a few songs from the artist like a compilation ?
any help welcome..thanks

JP:
Are you sure the artwork's gone? When you add artwork to a music track via iTunes, it is actually added via the ID3 tag, which are embedded in the song file. The only way that the artwork could be removed if if the tag was modified or you converted your music files to a format that does not support ID3 v.2.x tags.
When you Get Info for a single random song file, and click on the tab for artwork, is this pane empty?
Have you opened the show artwork box under the Source menu in iTunes? (click on the button with the rectangle below the Source menu).
Otherwise, I am at a loss as to how all of your artwork disappeared simply by moving it from one drive to another.

ITunes Album Art and song sorting difficulties

Hello.
I would like to solve something I've been having trouble with for a while now.
I am one of those people who like to only see the album art of a playlist I created. So, I don't like it when there are a 1000 different album arts, a different one for every single song, when I tild my iPod touch 4th generation to landscape mode. I have created 3 playlists in total, so only want to see 3 different album arts.
The only way I've managed to do this so far, was clicking on a song and selecting the show info button, and then click on: part of a compilation, and fill in all the different info and specifications for the song and the playlist it's in.
For example, in my playlist Michael Jackson:
But everytime I add a new song to my iTunes library, and put the song in the Michael Jackson playlist, it shows different album and album-artist info. (because the songs come from my Windows 7 music library and not every song comes out of the same MJ album. Some come out of the album Thriller, some come out of other albums )
So that means, if I don't want a new album art picture everytime I put a new song in the Michael Jackson playlist, I manually have to fill in all the specifications again: album-artist = Michael Jackson. Album = King of Pop. Sort album = King of pop, or a new album art will appear in landscape mode with only one song underneath it.
So finally, my question: is there any way iTunes can do this automatically, when I add a new song to one of my playlists?
My iTunes is in Dutch, hope that doesn't cause difficulty.

Thank you very much for your respone.
I'm new here and didn't realize that correction would bump this discussion.
It does, and that's fine as long as you're not too impatient. (Though I've probably missed what you've corrected.)
Isn't it a bit strange that iTunes doesn't have some sort of button: 'put all the songs in this playlist/album under one artwork?'
Or is that just me?
If it's not just you, you're certainly in a minority. Use the Songs and List views and you can pretty much ignore artwork in iTunes, but I think most people associate songs with the albums they come from and the correct art helps when browsing. I'm the other way, everything has to have the correct art (which must be exactly square), Title Case Spelling, long file and folder names in Windows Explorer, etc. See Grouping tracks into albums for more...
Something else I just noticed. In iTunes on my PC it's fine, the songs on my iPod are in the same order as they are showed in iTunes, but they have a completely wrong number in front of them on my iPod, like this:
1. Bad
8. Beat It
5. Ben
12. Billy Jean
2. Black or White
2.Billie Jean
Do you also happen to know how to solve this?
Those are probably the original track numbers showing through, but I'd need to see more details to be certain. There is a section on track ordering in the article above.

Nokia N95 8GB Album Art and Album Folders Issue

I have been hunting for for a resolution for two issues with the N95 8GB Media Player all over the web.
1. Adding artwork (CD Covers) to audio tracks (or albums) seems to be at best hit and miss. Most of the time it just does not work.
2. Deleting an album delete all the tracks but deleting the album folder seems almost impossible.
Well this weekend I decided to try to solve this and I think I may have hit upon a solution.
Since so may people have the same problem I thought it worth repeating. I would stress this has not been exhaustively tested but it does work reliably so far.
I am using Nokia Music Manager 2.0. The fix is simply to convert the files to AAC rather than to M4A (which is the default). After this simple change everythig worked find for me. I can add and delete albums from Nokia Music Manager 2.0 (don't forget to refresh on the phone afterwards) AND reliably add Album Artwork.
So here is how I have been working.
1. Set the conversion format to AAC. I have been using 'Ultra high' quality setting. Options Menu >> Setting >> Conversion Tab.
2. Next put in a CD, select all the tracks and choose copy to my collection.
3. While this is going on I find the artwork on the Web. A simple Google Image search with the album title and artists last name / band name seems pretty 100% to get the on the first page. Download image to My Documents / My Pictures.
4. Once the CD Rip is complete they will all appear in My Collection. I select all the tracks in my collection for the album in question, and then right click on one of them and select Edit.
5. I then attach the Album Artwork by clicking on the blue folder and choosing it from my, MY Pictures folder.
6. Finally select Copy to Phone from the File Menu.
This has worked for me so far 100% and I have done 20 or so albums.
NOTES:
To get Nokia Music Manager 2.0 I uninstalled the version of Nokia Phone Suite that came with my phone and went to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905I (or seach Google for "nokia phone suite"
I chose the N95 8GB downloaded and installed. At some point shortly after install Phone Suite informed me that there were updates available and Nokia Music Manager 2.0 was one of these.
I was originaly using this and suffered all the problems you guys have. After searching the web and finding no solution I decided to do some experimenting.
Hope all this helps.
PS If you need to delete all your legacy album folders, this is the fix I found on this same site. You can do this at any time.
1. Enable the option to be able to see Hidden Files and Folders in your Windows Explorer.
2. Connect your n95 8gb to your computer and choose data transfer mode.
3. Go to My COmputer >> Nokia Phone Browser >> Nokia N95 8GB >> Memory Card E:
3. If you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders (see 1) you should see a folder called Private.
4. In the Private folder you need to delete the contednts of three folders
\private\101FFC31 (mpxv1.mpd and pcv5.mpd)
\private\101f8857\Cache
\private\101ffca9
In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
Next time you restart the music player it will rebuild the indexes without the deleted albums folders.
Hope this helps someone. It restored my sanity.

Album Art
Basically there are two methods
Method 1.
You do it on the phone. Load the album art pictures to the memory card. (Must be JPEG NOT BMP)
Load also the music files.
Open Music application in the phone. Open an album then select Options->Album art then Options-> Add, browse for the picture and select Ok.
Repeat for each ALBUM
Method 2.
You do it on the PC.
Get a Tag editing software like Tag&Rename, WINAMP, etc.
Edit the files Metadata to include Album Art picutres (again they should be jpeg and also they should be set as Cover Front).
Transfer the files that have Album Art using File transfer (usb mass storage) don't use MTP or PC Suite as these methods may convert the files and Album Art will be lost.
Or you can continue using your Method

Why is album art no longer viewable when viewing a playlist as a list?

I used to view my playlists as a list sorted by album by artist by year and the album art really broke things up and kept it manageable (put the album art on the leftmost column). Not even an option? Seriously feels like a downgrade. Impossible to find or sort my music. Program in general and search in particular are SUPER slow (and I'm running this on a Core i5 with 12GB of RAM.
Only real question I have besides this is how do I downgrade to the previous version? This is unusable.

Itunes 12 album art no longer able to paste it in

Apple please return to copy and paste album art in iTunes. This searching for a file to import in is really annoying.

Works fine here.
The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local file copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

Album art and iTunes Store Sign in other countries

I live in a small country, I don't know if we will get able to access the store some day but something like the album art could be available to everyone, I don't get why the restriction to only store accounts.
1. Make it available without the sign-in
or,
2. Create a sign-in without the option to purchase in order to use this new feature in iTunes in all the other countries that have no store available.

If you can find the cover art you want online, you can just tell iTunes to forget the artwork for those songs and add the art you want manually.

Album art and info retention

Got my 60g 5g month ago of the 3900+ songs to date only three have associated album art? Always connected to T1 connection can not retrieve. Also any idea why when I burn playlist to disk the artist/song/album etc info does not transfer or become available through net when played on other pc's. If I dup an entire cd I don't have this problem...only from compiled playlists
60g 5g Windows XP Pro

1) With the CD in, go to advanced-->Get CD track names. If that doesn't work, try posting in the iTunes forum
2) All that information is not burned to the disk. This is just the way iTunes and most music software works. iTunes cannot publish your CD information to the online database because it is not apple's.

Music album art and movie chapter shot mixed up

Hi I am new here.
I just noticed that the album art for my music and the shots in the movie chapter got mixed up. more details:
1) for the music, the album art are correct in the album view of iPod, and the blown up image when the music is playing. However, when I clicked the back arrow to get back to the main iPod screen, the album art in the lower left hand corner under "Now Playing" is messed up. it could be a) cover from another album 2) a question mark 3) a random shot in one of my movies (Monster Inc. if this is helpful...)
2) in movies, when i click on chapters, the chapter image for some movies which I bought from itunes are messed up. they could be some random shots from other videos (not movies) that i transfered myself. However, some movies (e.g. Monster Inc.) do not have this problem.
I didn't pay attention when this started to happen, but i am pretty sure at one point everything is alright... so... is there are way to fix this besides trying to delete everything and add again (I do not sync my library for music and movies, only pictures...)
any advise would be much appreciated... and oh... i have the most updated version of the firmware...
thanks much in advance

I have the exact same issue, with videos that i own the electrionic version, including home videos.

Cover Flow album art and scroll buttons scrambled (7.5)

Hello, Everything has been fine with my i tunes but i opened it the other day and the cover flow view is playing up. All the album covers/podcast displays etc are just scrambled (a series of horizontal coloured lines like a faulty TV.)
the scroll bar and the show full screen buttons are also shown scrambled. if you play a song the album art shows in the left corner fine but the flow art is still scrambled. any ideas anyone? i have tried lots of restarts but it is no better. the only thing i have done is windows update which did some .net updates. regards john

They are all still there!
7.3 is broken.
I replaced it with 7.2 and all is well until they fix the problem. This list is full of this problem!

Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

Hi there,
I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
Thanks,
Michael
HP Pavillion dv6000 Windows Vista

Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
