Album art cover flaw

well, if you have all songs in library on itunes, and on your ipod, no matter what it is, you don't have any problem. but if you backup few albums, delete from itunes, but you have still them in ipod. next time when you try to resync album art because you would have little problem or improve navigation performance, deleted albums or songs in itunes will not add to ipod even they all existed. this is problem. no matter what itunes doesn't have songs, but ipod have. ipod should show album art. but it's not. manually I manage songs.

never mind. I solved the problem. all album covers are back!

Weird Album Art Cover Bahavior - won't update a few albums - HELP.

I have a weird issue that keeps coming up. I have 7.3 loaded - same thing used to happen on all other versions and it's really bugging me.
I have album art for all of my albums now except 2. One is Boards of Canada and another is Paul McCartney. When I tell iTunes to look for album art - it says it's not available. Fine - so I go to "get info" for a track, go to the art tab, hit add and add in the album art I've downloaded - it will then show in the lower left pane for "now playing" - but it won't show as the main album cover in cover flow.
I've tried deleting the entire album, adding it back in - updating album art for the whole album or track at a time, no go - no matter what I do I can't get it to show.
Sometimes during this process - it will also lock up my pc and I'll have to re-boot too.
Any ideas?

Select all tracks in the album. Drag and drop the desired image file directly on the "Drag Album Art Here" box in the lower left corner of the main iTunes window.
Note: To avoid a clutter problem, you first should select all tracks on the album, right-click, select Get Info, and check the box next to the (hopefully empty) Artwork box and then click OK. As long as the Artwork box is/was empty, this will clear out all the old artwork before you add the art following the simple instructions in the first paragraph above.

Windows Media Player in Windows 7 displays the same album art picture for nearly all songs!

Hello,
I have just installed Windows 7 Home Premium as a clean install on my PC. I then imported all my music files back onto the PC and opened up Windows Media Player and found that probably 95% of the songs have the same album cover (Timbaland - Shock Value) against them, instead of how thety were before (either the correct album art, or no album art at all). Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here as it is pretty annoying that nearly every song has the same album art cover.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Parkesian,
I would like to suggest you reset the database for Windows Media Player 12 to check the issue.
Clear the Windows Media Player database
========================================
1. Close Windows Media Player.
2. Press Win + R to open Run, copy "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player" (without the quotation marks) to the Open box and press Enter.
3. In the Media Player folder, delete all of the files.
Note that it is not necessary to remove the folders that are also in this folder.
4. Restart Windows Media Player.
At this point Windows Media Player will automatically rebuild the database.
What’s the result?

Music App Album Art Viewer (in horizontal mode)

Hi,
I wonder if anyone else in the community think the same about the album art cover mosaic when in horizontal mode but it really suck since they remodeled the app.
When rotating the IPhone in the Music App, we use to be able to flip the albums and at that time, the SORT was by ARTIST. Since Apple remodeled the music app (really don't like to have a mosaic of album covers), the SORT has been converted to ALBUM...
Problem is NOBODY remembers all their album names and nobody I know likes the way it is showing at the moment. All albums by a same artist are mixed up in the mosaic when they logically should be regrouped by artist as it uses to be. It is not convenient at all when I want to hear a song from an artist but don't know the album name or song name... Make the search in horizontal mode totally frustrating and useless.
This change in the music app is not an improvement and all my surrounding thinks the same. Is there an option to sort them differently somewhere? Never found it if so.
If you agree to this, please send feedback to apple so we can have the option to sort
album cover art by artists.
Thank you !
Do you prefer this...by album ?
Rather than this...by artist ?

How to: restore box in the lower left where album art used to show

How come no one else has asked this question? Apple keeps mucking around with the look, feel and features of iTunes and it is more than annoying. You want to lean forward and slap them a good one and tell them to knock it off.
I have finally been able to get the traditional side bar back but cannot find a way to toggle on the little box in the lower left where the album art used to show. It used to be so easy to drag in an album art cover and another box would pop up allowing you to populate the fields pertaining to the song. Now I have to hit the "Get Info" button to add the field info. And what I dislike most is that I play a lot of the same songs sung by different artists and it was easy to quickly see which album was playing by looking in that left hand corner at the album art. Now I have to dash and dart all over the place to find the right album.
If you know the answer please respond. Thanks.

If Apple wonders why iTunes users abandon the program and move elsewhere this is a fine example. Once a strong devotee I no longer feel that way and my next machine won't be a Mac. Apple could have simply made it a toggle but no ... you do as Apple demands and it is that thinking (our way or the highway) that makes people bristle and walk away.
They are blind if they think they've "improved" iTunes. Today it is more annoying than anything they have previously offered. Appreciate the response.

I am unable to update my album art since I commenced using match (and after upgrading to Yosemite). How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

I am unable to update my album art on my iMac since I started using Match (and after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3). A message advises that it's not possible to removed old artwork if it's embedded. How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track. However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player. To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file. Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork. iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files. You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details. To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close. To do it for single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete. Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

Few problems/questions! (cover flow, album art...etc)

Ok I finally added my songs to my new IPOD (replaced my old one) and this is my first Ipod with video, color...etc. Its the IPOD Classic 80 GIG.
Well I am having a few problems/questions:
---Why when I hit "Get album art" does it ONLY get art for my videos? It doesn't get any for all 1,500+ songs! Is it because they aren't downloaded from Itunes? If so then why does it do it for the movies then? They aren't from ITunes either!
---With Cover Flow I updated the Album Art myself and have about 700 songs with art now. But I have two problems.
1. It won't display all 700 songs under Cover Flow!
2. It won't show them in order by song name! Can I change that?!? If not then how is it showing them by? What do I need to change?
---Are there any other video types supported besides that on Mpeg4 and that other weird type? If not why not? Its a pain to have to convert everything. Its almost not worth having this video IPOD if you have to go through sop much effort just to watch 1 stupid video. I mean I spent more money on extra programs now for music and videos then I did on the IPOD almost.
---Is there any way to transfer your music from one IPOD to another? I know some people say you can't but why? What about people like me who have music ripped from our own cds and NOTHING from ITunes? Its a REAL pain having to rerip all the cds, put them back on, rename all the songs, fix all the info...etc. Its taken me 4 days now. Apple needs to think about a "IPOD TO IPOD" music transfer kinda program.
---How do you get pics on the IPOD without having to keep them on your PC? I notice it has to SYNC them every time I have it plugged into the PC! But if I tell it NOT to sync pics anymore then they won't stay on the IPOD if turn that option off and unplug the IPOD. Theres got to be another way to add them.

Cover flow on the ipod can only be done (as far as I know) on Album by Artist Name. On iTunes you can change it around

Album Art - Not showing all in Album View or Cover Flow

Recently I redid my Itunes Libary where with one artist with songs from several different albums, (and album artwork), renamed the album under Get Info to "Greatest Hits". Now, the specific album art for each song shows when the song is playing, but under Album View/Cover Flow only one Album Art shows for each artist. Assume this had something to do with my renaming multiple songs for the artist to Greatest Hits. Is there any way to get back the specific Album Art for each song under Album View/Cover Flow? Thanks.

If you are only adding it to one song, that won't work. Itunes itself does this for artwork that it finds automatically, but if you want to add them yourself you have to add the artwork to every track. Find the track that you added the artwork to copy the artwork using command - C , then select all of the tracks at the same time in itunes, do a get info and paste the artwork into the artwork window of the tagging window.

Cover Flow Album Art Not Appearing

Hi!
I have a large Itunes library and before the 7.3.1 update all of my album art was appearing correctly in both the "Now Playing" box and in cover flow. Since I have installed the 7.3.1 version of iTunes, alot of album art is appearing in the "Now Playing" box but NOT in cover flow. This is only for a select few (40+ albums), and the rest are fine
Can any help me out this with this?
Thanks!
Powerbook 17', OS X, ITunes7.3.1, External HD Mac OS X (10.4.10) Iphone attached

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!

Missing album art work in cover flow mode

why would i have a missing album in cover flow mode on my ipod classic, but be able to see the same album in itune on my computer. it does shows up under artist catagory, just not cover flow. i have deleted the art work and re copied it, re synced and restarted and still no album cover. also, not marked as a compliaction either. thoughts?
thx

*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 exists 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, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-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. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.

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

Cover flow and Album Art Peculiarities

Ordinarily when I import an album into iTunes, all the songs on the CD are consolidated under a single album cover reducing the number of instances of art in Cover flow. As iTunes plays down through the list of songs, the same album cover is displayed in Cover flow. I can also see the next album in the que on either side of the album currently playing.
Lately though, I'm seeing an instance of album art for each song on an album. For example, if there are twelve songs on the album, there will be twelve instances of the album art work in Cover flow.
I have looked carefully at the song/album information to ensure it is consistent for each song on the album and it all appears to be same so I've just about given up.
I like to scan in my own CD covers to get the highest resolution artwork possible (generally 175k in size) and because it can be very time consuming, I no longer ask iTunes to search for album art.
I select the entire list of songs in the album and perform a Get Info and drop the artwork onto the Art well and Cover flow will react in one of two ways; it either consolidates all songs under a single piece of art or it will display the art for each song on the album!
What am I doing wrong?
G4 Dual Mirrored Door

For the instances where you are getting multiple album art showing in Cover Flow, are those songs from a compilation album? If the artist name isn't exactly the same for each song, iTunes will list them individually. You will have to: identify them as a compilation or alter the tag info or use the Sorting option to group them together.

Cover Flow Blurred Album Art - Bug?

Cover Flow is losing focus on whatever the displayed album art is after a few seconds of scrolling (image becomes burry). Once this happens it stays that way and affects all album art until Cover Flow is exited. Happens at random, doesn't seem to be caused by any particular piece of album art. Can most often (but not always) be reset by going out of Cover Flow mode either by going to a non-landscape mode or exiting Cover Flow altogether, but it is extremely annoying to be continually dropping in and out of Cover Flow to try to read the album art. It didn't do this when I had only a few album covers, but once I started loading it up with a bunch of stuff I started having problems. Could this be something like a single defective album art image file causing Cover Flow to go wacko, or is it simply a general bug? Any fixes or anyone else having this problem?

Yep, The blurry coverflow happens to me ONLY if I haul * across the albums then it catches up to me in about 2 seconds.....
I guess this time is needed to render the artwork?
I have never had to exit for it to work properly. I also noticed something like this happening when flipping quickly through pictures.

Cover Flow Album Art won't change with Song Change

When I play songs in Cover Flow mode (landscape), the album remains on the same album that I first played even though the song has advanced to another album. Is this behavior consistent with anyone else or is this only my iPhone that is acting this way? Seems like the album art would change when the song changes, as it does in portrait mode.

I have many problems occuring randomly when i try to use Spotify on my Ipad Air 2 in the BMW car in offline mode.
*After some time Album Art and track names are no longer updated
* After some time some of the HMI buttons get greyed out
I was able to solve all these issues by temporarily enabling WLAN hotspot on my mobile phone, then spotif on the ipad will correct itself.
Of course that's no permanent solution to fiddle with the mobile phone while driving, it must be some sort of bug of spotify that will hopefully get fixed to have proper offline usability in the car.

Cover-flow and Album-art problems

On cover-flow, sometimes background album-art will jump ahead of the viewed (center) album. (iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1) can I fix this?
Also, in the lock screen (same iPhone) the album-art will not be in the center of the screen, but down about half way through the unlock slide.

Same issue with my iPhone 4S... there's nothing you can really do apart from switch back to '6.0'. Hopefully this bug will be fixed in the next update, use cover flow a lot for music as i prefer it to the portrait look.
