Album art. HELP PLZ!!!

okay. so i just got my ipod nano. and i know its suppose to have like the album art or w/e. by the name of the song artist ect. but so why does some of my songs not have the album art by it? is it suppose to be like that? and others have the album art.
ive checked if the whole album jus doesnt have the album art
but at leaste 1 of the songs on the album show the album art. but the rest it doesnt.
is it supopose to be doing that? and if it isnt. can u plz tell me how to fix it? thx!!

From what I understand there is nothing wrong. If you download songs from itunes store all songs will show the artwork. Now, if you import your own CDs
You must insert the artwork in each song of the album. Providing that you downloaded the artwork, select the first song of the album then SHIFT select the last song of the album. Then select from the menu " get Info" and double click on artwork. You will be prompted to select where you artwork is and select. Once you click ok your artwork will appear on all the songs from your selected album. hope this helps

Album art help.

I can't get album art to show up on my ipod. I open up itunes, click on my ipod, then play the song I want the album art to play on. Then I drag the album art from my documents and place it in the box in the bottom left. When I play the song from my ipod through itunes I see the album art but when I disconnect the ipod and play that song I do not see any album art. I have it turned on so I can see it too. Help?

There is a simple freeware program that can help make the time-consuming task of copying Album Art in iTunes very easy. It's called "Clutter" and is located at sprote.com/clutter/.
After you download the program, open it and keep the program window up front. Then play the song in iTunes. If you have a full CD/Album, play the first song. You should then see the CD/Album cover show up in the window. Then, simply go to Clutter > File > Copy Cover to iTunes. The cover art will then be applied to every song in the album playlist. Clutter searches the Amazon.com database for CD/Album covers. Usually it finds the correct ones with no problem. It sometimes brings up the wrong one if you have unusual or less than popular music titles.
Make sure you have turned on the options to show Album Art on your iPod.
Hope this helps.

Album Art Help ple

How do i get the album art into my player? (Zen 4gb)

I have the same problem.
Media Monkey is a valid solution but I like also mp3tag by Maniactools.com
But they are not perfect. I would like something that does everything in automatic while these 2 softwares require that you select any album.
There is also a script for MediaMonky called Batch art finder that should have this function but it doesn't seem working for me.
If anybody could help us would be great.

Video iPod Album Art Help

Hi, I have a 60GB video iPod and it has the album art enabled and I see the little picture when it is playing music, but when I hit the middle button twice to see the big album art picture, it doesn't show up. All I see is a white box with a black line that makes the box where the big album art should show up.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I think this is a case of the bytesize of the album art. Some of my art was acting the same so I deleted the picture and replaced with a new that knew was smaller in bytesize. Helps, but sometimes it is slow to show and comes after halfway through the song.

Deleting Album Art Plz Help

Hey,
How do I delete the album art from songs???
plz post : )

I had the same problem but i found the way!!!
How do I change incorrect artwork in iTunes?
iTunes Catalog will not overwrite existing artwork when copying artwork to iTunes, so you'll need to delete existing artwork in order to replace it.
In iTunes, select the albums whose artwork you want to delete.
Choose File ▶ Get Info.
Click the checkbox next to the empty Artwork field.
Click OK.
Then, choose Artwork ▶ Copy Artwork to iTunes again.

I've experienced this problem when my album art where TOO BIG and TOO SMALL. But once I deleted those problems and re-added new one's of a better size. It worked. Don't know if that's your problem. I have also found that it doesn't always update all the album arts at once. Usually I have to do a few updates for it to update all. Also sometimes I feel that it's a good idea to reformat the ipod with the ipod updater. Hope that helps.

Restored my library from backup discs, need help with album art/playlist

Good morning everyone. Using the great information on this site I have successfully backed up "my library". I then reformatted my hd and reinstalled win xp and itunes. I was also successful in using the awesome restore feature of itunes. "My library" is back 100%.
The only thing left is the album art and my playlists- both currently on my ipod. My question is how do I update "my library" and "my playlist" from my ipod? I am worried that if I plug in my ipod without knowing what to do then my ipod will try to match "my library" (which does not have artwork) and thus my ipod will delete the album artwork. I have several thousand songs and would HATE to lose that artwork since it would be a time consuming pain to update those manually. Also I have 20 or so playlists on my ipod. I am afraid of losing those (currently on ipod) when I connect to itunes since it will try to update and match the now empty/blank playlist currently in itunes.
I am sure these are easy solutions for you pros out there. That's why I am asking! You folks have always given the proper help and advice whenever an issue has arisen. Thanks in advance!

clever point...

some album covers just aren't exactly square, particularly if the CDs are sold in cardboard flip-cases.
I deal with artwork in a more hap-hazzard way, but most of the time, i get SQUARE results...
Just Google the album title, then click the IMAGES tab. More times than not, I find the album cover in multiple sizes and about every time, at least one version that is truly square.
All i need to do then is click the image, then again at the top of the resulting Google page (to show just the image - out of it's surrounding page), then drag the image directly to the Album Artwork Placeholder in the GET INFO tab (that has already been opened on multiple items - the whole album).

Help In Moving the Album Art Folder

Hi,
Wonder if anybody can help me... I am running the latest ITunes on Windows Media Center edition. My problem is that the Album Art Folder is located on my C: drive and I am running out of storage and would like to move it to my Itunes folder on my other drives where my music is currently located. Also if anybody knows how to move the Ipod games folder that would be great as well.
Thanks in advance

Add Album Art - Having Problems - HELP!

I'm having problems adding album art to my itunes library. I've already done the "advanced"--->"Get Album Art" thing but there are quite a few albums that iTunes DIDN'T find. So, I selected one that iTunes didn't find and I drug a .jpg file from a folder, into the bottm-left corner of iTunes and it associated that image with all the files I'd selected from that particular album. Great...so far.
The problem came when I tried to do the same thing a second time, with another album. Now, the little window at the bottom left reads, "Album Art not Modifiable!" I've tried dragging images of the album cover into the space anyway, but to no avail. WHAT GIVES?
Can someone tell me how to fix these missing album covers?
Also, some of the albums iTunes didn't 'find' the artwork for are albums that are even sold BY iTunes! How could it not find the album art for albums I can find right there in iTunes?? I have a new iPhone and, because of the way you can surf albums and songs, it's really important that I get all the album art stuff squared-away!
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
Thanks, in advance!

Instead of trying to drag the art into iTunes, you
can copy and paste it. To do this, right click on a
song with incorrect or missing artwork. Choose "Get
Info" from the menu that opens. Then click on the
artwork tab--if there's wrong artwork showing, click
on the album cover and then the delete button--now
you'll have a blank box. (If you've already
right-clicked and selected "copy" for the correct
jpeg you've found)--right click in this blank box and
choose "paste". Then click on the ok/yes/save
button--whatever it is in the lower right corner and
your correct artwork should show up in iTunes.
If you want to do an entire album--hold down your
shift key and highlight all of the songs on the
album, right click>get info>say yes when you get the
protest box>choose the artwork tab>right click and
choose paste.
Your song tags have to exactly match the way songs
are tagged in the iTunes store to have the artwork
download automatically. Sometimes a misplaced space
can be the culprit. Often iTunes downloads the wrong
artwork--so allowing iTunes to handle your album art
is not foolproof!
When I try to do what you suggested, I get a iTunes warning that says:
"The Song "Song Name Here" cound not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
If I click "Yes" I get a browser window, and if I click "Cancel" I get the info page you talked about; but I can't click on the image because the "Artwork Tab" doesn't exist! I checked some other files and it turns out, that the "Artwork" tab ONLY shows up on files where there's ALREADY some artwork showing! My problem is not that the WRONG artwork is associated with the song or album, it's that there isn't ANY artwork associated with it.
So my question is still: HOW do I associate artwork with music that doesn't show a picture, even after iTunes has searched for the appropriate one and come up with NO image at all?
I'm wondering why iTunes can't locate the original file on some of these songs, though. The only thing I can think of is that, because I'm in the process of re-organizing my music on my computer into album folders, I may have moved a lot of files from the location where iTunes originally found them. Some songs, iTunes has no problem locating, but they seem to be the songs that are part of complete albums I've created outside iTunes and then ADDED to my "My Music" folder, where iTunes seems to find it, shortly after it's added to the folder. So, this makes me think I would be better off deleting EVERYTHING from my Library (except those songs/albums I bought from iTunes) and then RE-add ONLY the re-organized music folders- keeping all the stuff I have yet to straighten-out, completely out of iTunes until it IS organized. How do I clear my library and, then, how do I rebuild it from the music folders I choose? Do you think this would fix my problem?

Help again with album art pleaseeeee

so i did what btabz said
unchecked album art.
pressed ok
checked it again
pressed ok
but then i got an error message
that said it couldn't do it.
i also have my ipod set to manually update.
so when i clicked the check back to auto update.
pretty much EVERYTHING was deleted from my ipod
ugggh..

Take it off manual update. Repeat the process. If it still doesn't work, try turning off album artwork, unplugging the iPod, then plug it back in, and put it on disk mode. Then unplug it again, then plug it in again, and check artwork.

Problem with album art... Please help

Hello, I put all my album art on all my songs which took forever last week. I updated my ipod last week and everything was all right with the album art on it. I updated it today, but now, all my album art on my ipod the same picture. On itunes, though, the album art is correct. How can I fix this without having to re-do my whole library!?? I updated my Ipod software and downloaded the latest itunes. Please help me.. Thanks so much in advance...

The easy quick thing to do IF the album art work is correct on iTUnes, is to just reset the iPod by holding down the center button and menu, if that doesn't work use the latest iPod updater (2006-03-23) and just restore it
Restore will wipe the iPod clean, but you can just sync it again with iTUnes and have everything loaded back on and hopfully with the correct art

ALBUM ART? I Need Help!

Okay, i know about when purchasing music off of iTunes you get the album artwork with the music. But I've noticed that when playing imported music on iTunes it says that you can drag album artwork to the little square. I tried this with google but the images didn't drag. How do you manually get album art to your music?!? All help is appreciated.

Capture your artwork using a tool like printkey. Save it as a jpg or jpeg in a folder. Now in ITUnes right click the song, then select "Get Info" then select the "Artwork Tab" then click the add button, dialog window pops up, then select or navigate to the artwork jpeg you saved. Double click the file, should now show up in window, Close out the window. You're done. Now update that song file in your IPOD.
