Album art different for songs depending on orientation

Anyone else notice this? In widescreen the album art for a song is correct - if portrait mode the album art seems random. If you change orientation the album art changes (from right (in widescreen) -> to wrong (in portrait) and back again).

+Anyone else notice this? In wide screen the album art for a song is correct - if portrait mode the album art seems random. If you change orientation the album art changes (from right (in widescreen) -> to wrong (in portrait) and back again).+
Mine is just reversed--In portrait mode, the song playing has an accurate artist, song title and album cover. Switch the portrait to landscape (horizontal) and the album cover and song title is correct but one artist is ALWAYS the listed artist regardless of the song and title. The artist NEVER changes in my landscape mode.

Wrong album art displaying for songs on my iPod Classic.

I am having a problem with my 160GB classic iPod. (6th gen. I believe, it's the first 160GB iPod to be released.)
It doesn't happen a lot, but I noticed wrong album art displaying for my songs on my iPod. Then when I check in itunes, the album art is correct. Also, I manually manage my music and videos. So when I check the album art from my ipod's hard-drive through itunes, the album art is correct as well.
I believe the problem happens when the iPod itself tries to find the album art images for the current song being played. It somehow gets jumbled and puts up a random album art image instead of the one it is supposed to.
One thing i noticed is this. Lets say I shuffle all my songs. Once I get up to a song with wrong album art, I skip pass it lets say about 5-10 songs, then I go back to it. The album art often corrects itself, and the right album art is displayed.
I looked around the forums here and see that other people are having similar problems with different kinds of iPods. Maybe it's a firmware issue?

I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

How to show one album art image for a compilation album in cover flow view?

I just finished getting album art for my entire music collection. Now I go to the Cover Flow view or the Album view and individual songs in compilation albums each have their own album art instead of being grouped together under the same album art. For instance I have a "Buddha Bar" Album with various artists. Instead of having one image for the album, each artist has his or her own image (all the same Buddha Bar album art). So a compilation CD with various artists ends up having 15 images instead of one image in the Album art or Cover Flow view which makes it harder to look through my albums. Does anybody know if it is possible to change this?

iTunes doesn't have the ability to do what you want, i.e. to define multiple separated values in a field and then have the item show up when looking at a selection based on each of those values. "Bob Dylan", "The Band" and "Bob Dylan & The Band" are three distinct values that can't be linked together. Sort values can change where in a list things are displayed but shouldn't be used to attempt to merge different values as results are undefined and unpredictable.

Album art is 1 song off after itunes match

Ever since I signed up for iTunes Match, the album art is 1 song off on the TV display. The song info is correct but the album art is from the previous song. I have rebooted the Apple TV several times to no avail. The correct album art is shown on the Apple TV menu screen brfore the screen saver kicks in and displays the wrong album art. Any ideas.

How do i put album art with a song?

exactly as the subject says
how do i put album art with a song?

In iTunes go to Edit>Show artwork and a pane will open below yor source list. Click on the song you want the artwork against then locate the artwork file you want to add and drag it to the pane. You can find many more iTunes "HowTo" tips here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/howto/

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?

IPod Album Art Scrambled for Many Songs

For some odd reason, when I recently connected my iPod to iTunes -- I have the latest software versions for the iPod and iTunes -- I noticed that many of the songs are displaying album art for the wrong albums. For example, all the songs from one of my Aerosmith albums is displaying the artwork for one of my J.S. Bach albums. Not the same thing!
Has anyone run into a similar problem? Does anyone have a solution?
Regards,
Keith
P.S. For the record, the album art displays correctly in iTunes; it's wrong only on the iPod.

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

Syncing Issues: album art, cut-off songs

I have a 16GB iPod Touch that I've been syncing with my Windows Vista PC, seemingly without complications. It has only recently come to my attention that somewhere between my computer's library and my library on my iPod, something is messing up at random times. Full songs will become half-songs, 30-second songs, on the iPod. They are not damaged on my PC, but when they get uploaded to the iPod, they get messed up. If I re-upload them, sometimes the problem goes away, sometimes it cuts in a different spot. This is immensely frustrating, as I do not know how to fix it or what is causing it to begin with.
More recently I have discovered that all the work I have done organizing my library and getting everything to have album covers is wasted when I try to put these albums on my Touch. The album covers entirely disappear, and I have to copy and paste them in, which takes about five minutes per album (slow write speed?). Seems pretty lame to have a product focused on the ability to flip through albums visually, and then have the album art not automatically download with my music.
Any help?

I finally have the fix for this issue after a month of extensive debugging, experimentation, etc. on Windows Vista. I've reinstalled my whole **** computer twice, and Apple's phone support is a (bad) joke. They should just send me the script they use so I can read it myself.
First off, let's establish the symptoms of this problem:
* Data sync'ed to my iPod Touch would corrupt at random points. Sometimes songs would go through intact. Other times they would "glitch" partway through and the device would advance to the next song. Video files of a sufficient size -- like movies and T.V. episodes -- ALWAYS glitch at some point, which crashes the video playback and brings the device back to the video menu.
* Periodically, the iPod Touch would corrupt completely, which required a total firmware restoration. Rarely, these firmware restorations would also fail.
Now for the solution. It's a two-part deal:
1) Stop "Windows Search." It's not the major cause of sync problems, but it is a contributor, which is unsurprising given the amount of resources it hogs. Open the "Services" control panel item (Control Panel->System and Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Services, or just type "services.msc" into the "search" box on the Start Menu) and double-click "Windows Search." Click "stop" and set the startup type to "disabled," then click "OK."
2) This next part is going to be a bitter pill to swallow. When Microsoft launched Vista, it created a new "security feature" called PatchGuard which disallows direct kernel access to third-party applications. Antivirus vendors like McAfee, Symantec, Avast, etc. all have to use a kernel API rather than direct kernel access. However, Microsoft's own antivirus product -- Windows Live OneCare -- has complete access to the kernel without an API.
This appears to have created a weird situation with iTunes. I have reinstalled my system twice, both with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista, and it seems that merely having a third-party antivirus product installed is sufficient to cause this problem. I've tried Avast, McAfee, Symantec and TrendMicro's products. The problem will not go away even if you turn off scanning, put in exceptions, etc. With Avast, I even terminated all of its processes and stopped its services. No dice. Just having a third-party antivirus product installed -- EVEN IF IT IS NOT RUNNING -- will cause this issue.
However, the second you UNINSTALL your third-party antivirus software, the problem goes away -- every time. I've sync'ed movies over and over again to test this, and it's definitely the primary source of the problem.
Obviously, running without antivirus software in this day and age is unacceptable, but there is one product that's free from this problem; in fact, it's the only product that still has direct kernel access. I'm running Windows Live OneCare on a 90-day trial right now, and after running more tests, I've confirmed my hypothesis. Any antivirus product with direct kernel access is fine. The problem is that Windows Live OneCare is the ONLY antivirus product right now with direct kernel access.
If you're running Windows Vista 32-bit, there may possibly be a second antivirus option. My Windows Vista-based gaming laptop uses Computer Associates' AV product, and it's never had a problem syncing with my iPod. I haven't really tested other products on it, though, so your mileage may vary. I can't say for certain that it's a safe bet.
So there you have it: one month of my nights and weekends down the toilet to fix an issue Apple and Microsoft should be handling. I feel like I've paid $500 for the privilege of being an unpaid Apple Q.A. tester. At this point, they should pay ME for the time I've wasted on this issue.

Get album art criteria for download

Hi,
When I say "Get Album Art" in iTunes, for some albums it doesn't do anything. I check the iTunes store and they have the album but it won't download the artwork. I tried matching the album name to the exact same name but that doesn't solve the problem. I can't see anything else that is listed differently in my details from the iTunes version...
I really want that high quality art from iTunes.
Anyone know what iTunes searches for to get the artwork?
Thanks in advance.
Pete

In my experience, the album, artist and song names must exactly match the ones of the iTunes Store.
The song names are less important when you're trying to get artwork for an entire album.
Sometimes I notice some songs in my library that don't have the exact name of the one in the Store, but the artwork does show up in iTunes.
Hope this helps.

IPod Album art different/incorrect then iTunes

I have an iPod 5G & the album art is displaying different album art for some of the songs then iTunes has. I have tried
1. restoring the software on the iPod.
2. removing & synching my entire selected playlist library to my iPod.
If I find a song that displays the wrong album art on the iPod then the correct album art within iTunes - I unselect the song in iTunes, sync my iPod, recheck the song in iTunes, & then synch this sometimes fixed the song(s).
Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions of how to fix them ALL?
Thank you!
Peace~

How can i view album art above the songs in the new itunes format?

i liked how you could view the artwork for a song above the list and it seems like that option is unavailable in this new itunes version. Why??

Not a great solution, but you can completely remove the album art if you reduce the width of your itunes window.... as you reduce the window you get to a point where the artwork disappears.
Maximized window:
Narrowed window:

Album art request for community

Hello!
If you can find
Losing My Religion - EP
from your countrys iTunes store, could you change some songs info match it and get cover art.
Then could you copy the cover art from iTunes into paint or something else and make it PNG img and share it here.
I will give points to whoever gave the img.
I need it for my song, which is not available in my iTunes store.

As long as you choose anything above 600x600 for example 1000x1000 itunes will resize it accordingly.
I always aim for the larger sized album art because the resolution and therefore image quality is better.
Hope that helps. ;o) In the meantime this is the album art for the Out Of Time Album which contains losing my religion (originally it was at a higher resolution but as stated above itunes has resized it to 600x600)

Ipod displays wrong album art & skips entire songs since updating to 1.2

I recently got the new itunes update and the ipod update 1.2, and ever since that it has been skipping entire batches of songs and shows wrong album art for the songs that DO play. I have a 30 Gig Video
Windows XP

Try this: Open itunes> plug in your ipod> select your ipod icon> click the music tab> uncheck the box that says display alblum artwork (unless its already unchecked)> click apply> check the same box again> click apply. If all else fails you can restore your ipod and the artwork will come with it.

Album Art works for most, but not all

I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
And decided to join my problem to this entry.
