Album art fails to show after 1st track

ipod classic 80G fw 1.0.3
The album art shows properly in CoverFlow
When I start playing from coverflow, it shows the proper album art in the first song I play, but if I go the next song, it shows the "music notes" placeholder like there is no art in the file.
Now for the kicker: if I press the center click from coverflow to show the track list, then start playing the album on track #2, then it shows the artwork, but if I move on to the next track, it fails to show the artwork again.
Basically it acts like it can't find artwork when moving from one song to the next.
All my tracks have album art embedded into them (I checked with Mp3Tag. Art size varies from about 100x100 all the way to 500x500

I figured it out. Thanks to going click happy on the interface. Click on Advanced, then Get Album Artwork". It will then tell you to login and a warning that the song info will get sent to Apple. I've been trying to move my songs over to this thing on and off for months. I really think Android is the way to go as forcing you to convert your songs to a format that takes your rights to play a song away is rediculous. No ringtone using my own songs... seriously? My ancient Blackberry had that option with no special software necessary, you just put your music in a folder and let there be sound! I'm not upgrading to the new iPhone.

Everytime I update my ipod - loading new songs - my Album art doesn't show

I don't know if this has been happening to other ppl, but ever since I updated my ipod to newer version of OS4, my album art doesn't show up when it locks to home screen. When I go into music - it shows that the album art is there, but when I lock my ipod, the album art doesn't show up. But when I turn off and on again, it works again. It's just really annoying to always turn off my ipod and on again. And also I've noticed that after updating my ipod (loading new songs) it seems really slow - but when I turn if off and on again - it works normally.
I Don't have lots of songs or movies - I have used a little over half of the space. It's just that these things only happened right after I updated my OS to newer iOS4!
Can either someone make a better iOS4 or something?

Try deleting the songs from your iPod, then in your iTunes library delete the album art and reload the album art back to the songs and put them back on your iPod.

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.

Album Art does not show up when using shuffle.

When I turn on shuffle in my 80gb Classic the album art does not show up.
It is about 50/50 some songs will show art and some will not. The art that did not show up the last time I shuffled will show up this time. It is not consistant. When I am not in shuffle the art always shows up just fine.
Anyone having this problem? Any ideas on how to stop this from happening? Thanks, Robert

You might also recreate your iTunes library on your computer... and then when you connect your iPod you should be presented with a dialogue asking you to erase & sync the iPod. Click the erase & sync button (provided your songs are still in iTunes).
Here's how to recreate your library:

Can't get album cover artwork to show on all tracks

Some time ago I used MPFreaker to download album cover artwork for all (almost) the tracks I have in iTunes.
I've just bought a 20Gb colour iPod and it only shows the artwork for the occasional track. Even where within a complete album, the artwork only shows for one or two tracks, if that.
What am I doing wrong? I tried the trick of switching off 'Display artwork' and then switching it back on again but, if anything, that's made it worse - there are less tracks with artwork.
Cheers
Phil

Pablo, I would follow the suggestion of Dave W. I use his method and everything works fine on my Ipod. All my Album art shows(5000+ songs). His restore suggestion is great too. Also, make sure you have the latest versions of the Itunes and Ipod software.
Also, there are different ID tags that MP3 files use. Some tagging methods may not be wholely compatibile with the Ipod, or the tag might be corrupted. In this case you may try highlighting the song and converting the tag. There are a lot of tag options there.
Or, if you are using the MP4 format, you might have problems there too. I don't know that IPod's support the MP4 format. That doesn't mean it won't work most of the time. Good Luck.

Refresh iTunes album art fails in DM6

Hi,
I'm trying to import iTunes album art into Desktop Manager 6 and about halfway through, the process fails. I've checked the log files and found this info that might be relevant:

The log points to a possibly corrupted album art image, but it would be desirable if the Desktop manager could simply ignore that exception and resume the import. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

After having no itunes media sync issues with my 238 albums, other than album art for "Greatest Hits" albums getting mixed up, i have found that DM 6 gets the album art correct, but will not sync approximately 238 of 1500 files. Who knows how to fix this one. I am through with RIM, Blackberry and DM. I don't understand why they can't get this stuff right.

Most albums missing album art on iPod Touch after updating to iOS 7

Hi there,
I updated my 5th-gen iPod Touch to iOS 7 yesterday.
As the activation servers were overloaded for most of the afternoon, the update failed for me and my iPod touch ended up wiped and in recovery mode.
I installed a blank iOS 7 and then restored my settings from the previous day's iCloud backup.
I then reuploaded all my music from iTunes to the iPod.
Most of the album art is missing from the iPod and it's making me very sad. All the album art is visible in iTunes, so this is rather confusing. There seems to be no consistency to it, between albums I bought on iTunes or albums I bought elsewhere and ripped to MP3 and added to my iTunes library, or albums for which I got the art directly from iTunes or by adding it myself.
I'm using a PC with Windows 8 and the latest version of iTunes, if this matters.
Any ideas?

That happens sometimes
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Zen Vision M problem, album art is not showing

I am embedding the album art into the ID3v2 tags, as i assumed that it would show up when browsing my albums. But the art is not showing up and i have no idea why.
I had another problem which seems that my Zen is reading ID3v tags, a lot of my music was not being recognised, even with v2 tags, and was only recognised when i filled in the v tags also. Does anyone have suggestions as to whats going on here? It is a Zen Vision M 30gb, with the latest firmware, and i use Tag & Rename to edit tags and add the art, Im also on Vista if that changes anything.
Thanks in advance.Message Edited by Ninjabachelor on 0-28-20070:20 PM

Hi Boxy !
For now, you can't zoom in the Album Art, but it can be a new feature on a future firmware. To hack it somehow, you have to mess around the system folder which is inaccessible...

Embedded Album Art not Displaying Showing in Windows Explorer

Trying To Clean up my Music Collection using windows explorer. Embedding album art works fine for MP3's yet it is not replacing the (film/file/musicnote/baloon/) icon for Mpeg4 - M4A files.
What annoying is that the embedded art may be present but I can't tell just by looking at the individual files. how can I get confirmation outside of loading up itunes?
is it possible for me to get the embedded art to display in place of the file icon in windows explorer for these file types? if so, how?

It only happens wih some files, and I can't seem to find out what the correlation is.
If I take a series of mp3s where the album art cannot be displayed in iTunes but can in MediaMonkey or, extract the album art from the the tag through MediaMonkey (iTunes artwork fetching usually gives me poor results), and then assign the album art through iTunes, yes the album art does appear to be saved and displayed through iTunes. But that's a process.
Additionally, if I reassign the artwork in MediaMonkey (not readding it, just reapplying the assignment to all selected items) the artwork will show up in iTunes.
I'm going to play around with Mp3Tag and see if that yields anything.

Did latest itunes update (10.6.1) now album art and video showing as white square

Friday night (30 March) had itunes update. I was adding music to my ipad at the time. Completed the update and finished transfering my music. When i opened the music app most of my album art was gon. Even art that was there before the update was now gone. I tapped on the artist and each album showed no artwork. I then went to video and all those were white boxes as well. They showed a screen shot previously. Anyone know why or better yet how to get the artwork back for music as well as video? This happened on both the original ipad and the new ipad.

Album art does not show on iPod

Only the album art from Apple Store purchase is showing up on my iPod. Any art that I imported to iTunes for my own cd's does not show on the iPod. Some of the art came from the Apple "get album art" some I got off the net.
I have iPod v1.2.
Thanx for any thoughts

Try to disable album art on your iPod, then sync it,
then enable artwork again, sync it again and it
should be okay...assuming all the album art appears
in iTunes.
I've had this same problem and it's worked for me.
I manually add songs onto my Ipod and then delete them from Itunes.
Wouldn't syncing my Ipod erase all the songs that are currently on it only adding what is currently in my Itunes Library?

Album art does not show up??

I have a 30gb ipod photo and its wierd.. i sent it in for repair cause of an unrelated issue but now when i update my ipod... the album art doesnt show up for some songs even though its physically there on my computer and the art checkbox is checked. i have too much music on my computer for my ipod so i update via playlist, the only conclusion i could ammount to is that i am using Smart playlists but even the songs that show the art are from the smart playlists. i dont know what i should do? if anybody can help me it would be amazing!

Michael,
You may want to uncheck that box you refer to, click okay, and eject your iPod. Then go back and recheck the box.
If this doesn't work, you may want to restore...

Some album art does not show!!!

Running iTunes 8 and have converted my whole CD collection using Easy CD Extractor. The files are converted to AAC+ and are easily imported into iTunes using the Add Folder... BUT the funny thing is that when I then try to import album arts which I have scanned from my CD:s original covers there are some albums that will not show even if I am using exactly the same procedure for every other imported song, the same file format (jpeg), same resolution and size How is it possible that a few of my albums will not show any album art even if they are processed exactly the same way as all the other CD:s in my collection??? I have tried both drag and drop, as well as doing it from within the "Info... dialogue".

Thanks Katrina, I did try this (or part of it before I saw your link to the excellent article on how to do this properly). But I have a couple of problems with this explanation (which could still be correct). First when I was iTunes in Vista in "normal"-mode, I was still able to add album arts to most of my albums (all comming from my CD:s, ripped with the same software, etc) and residing in the same folder (Music)... So how is it possible that SOME of my music files are "locked", and as you suggest, read-only, and some are not??? This might still be "correct", it is possible, but then it is clearly a bug in Vista. Secondly I am the only user of this computer, logged in as an Adminstrator. Still, Vista could of course mark some of my music files as read only, but I still concider that as a bug on the Vista part.
What is even more annoying is that iTunes did not notified me that it could add the album art, it just didn't without explanation, the same did TagScanner. Only MP3Tag did give me feed back that it could not write the album art to the file. I assume it would not be such a difficult task to add a feature to iTunes that will notify the user that it is unable to add album art because of this and that, and suggest (like you did) a way to solve the problem...

Turned off my iPhone and when it turned back on some settings were changed, why? Also, album art work not showing up on my iPhone even when it shows up in iTunes

I turned off my phone using the home key and the top button (an apple customer service personnell told me to do this if it started to act up) and when i turned it back on some of my settings were changed. I don't remember how everything was set up, so now I have to try and go searching for things that are wrong. Also, my iMessage and FaceTime accounts said that they aren't verified...they were before i turned my phone off.
Another thing is, is that the album artwork isn't showing up on my iphone, but its in the "get info" section on itunes. AND many times the artwork isn't showing up on itunes...like songs purchased from itunes. This is extremely aggravating. Can someone please please please help me?!

I transfered videos from iPod to iTunes on Windows 7 PC but album art won't show up, even when I choose to find album art

I just installed iTunes 64 bit on my PC with Windows 7. I transfered my movies from my iPod Classic but no album art on any of them. I even try to find album art but nothing. I've downlaoded a couple of music albums onto same PC that I downloaded previously on iPad and they have art but not the videos I just transferred from iPod. I also can't play any of them on PC. I keep getting the no Quicktime message even though I downloaded QT. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.
strange.......
