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.

Cannot View Album Art.. please help!

Hi. I've been wondering how I can put album art onto my nano... I'm quite confused because I have one song that has the album art beside it when in "Now Playing" but for the rest of the songs... I don't see any album art. Please help me.. it has been bugging me for quite a while now =(
Windows XP

What I mean is that you don't have to do the album art for each song, one by one, in an album.
In itunes, click on the first song in the album. Then hold down the shift key and click on the last song in the album. All the songs inbetween the two you clicked on will be selected.
Then, just drag or paste the artwork into the box on the left and all the selected songs will get the same artwork.

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?

Disappearing album art!!HELP!

All info like computer and such is at bottom.
I was just getting some new music and putting it on my iPod, like I always do. I unplug it regularily (at least..I think)but I notice the Apple pops up before it goes back to my regular iPod. (the apple you see when you restart your iPod)The menu is the standard one you get when you first get the iPod, not my custom one. And when I go to my Cover Art, all of it has disappeared!Absolutely nothing!!
If anyone can help, I would SO appreaciate it!

Okay, so I found the answer to my own post so I thought I'd share it for anyone else who had the same problem. When you plug in your iPod, under Music there is a box that has to do with saving album art. Uncheck it, and save it. Then, recheck it and save. If this doesn't work for you the first time, DON'T GIVE UP!! It took me quite a few tries before I got it.

My iTunes Deletes My Album Art! Please Help!

I have two quick questions:
1. Why does iTunes(v6.0.4.2) mysteriously delete the album art i put for some CDs i import a few weeks after i have imported them and place long strings of numbers in the 'comments' column? (this has been driving me crazy!!!) and also...
2. Is it possible to encode mp3s with iTunes without having to import it directly from a CD?
Any help for either of these would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance!

I think it might have something to do with my id3 tags... but most of my mp3s use id3v2.3 which is the latest version if i remember right... someone help... please?

Web Design/Graphic Arts Student needs help choosing a Macbook.

First post on board so greetings!
I have went back through all the archives and read every post I could on purchasing a Macbook for Web Design/Graphics but would like more info.
Being a first time Mac user I am a little overwelmed by the all the guru talk. I will be going back to college next month for mainly Web Design/Development with Graphic Arts thrown into the program. The College has Mac Desktops to use but some of my classes will be online and I would like the portability of a Macbook to work from home with.
I will be having to use Adobe Creative Suite (all 10 programs within it) and Autodesk 3ds Max. Being that I will be dealing with graphics I am willing to pay for the 15" Retina Screen. I have read that the Quadcore I7 processor may be over kill since alot of programs will never use the extra cores but with technology changing all the time I don't want to have tot upgrade in 2 years.
So I'm looking for suggestions and will gladly add more info to help make my choice...
Thanks in advance!

Cant get album artwork! Need help!

So I just bought Senses Fail's new album Life Is Not a Waiting Room and I tried to get the album artwork and it says it could not be found and it's spelt the exact same way as it is on iTunes... Also I just downloaded the new iTunes and I did not have any troubles with any other artwork until I uploaded this cd... So please help me!

For whatever reason, the iTS store database has it listed differently than your tags.
Sometimes just adding a blank space after the Album Name or Artist will make iTunes fetch the artwork.
When Led Zeppelin's Mothership was first released, Apple had it filed under Artist = Lead Zeppelin. It's fixed now, but folks couldn't get the artwork until it was, unless they misspelled their own tags.

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!

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).

Songs Won't Play, Album Art Not Modifiable, ID3 Tags, Need Help

I have a 32 GB iPod Touch, Windows Vista, the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime as well as the latest iPod software.
I noticed the other day that a bunch of my songs were missing album art. I have a library with almost 7,000 songs and I have album art for everything. I went to the songs to attempt to fix the album art and noticed that it said, Album Art Not Modifiable, in the Album Art preview screen. I thought that was weird and it wouldn't let me add new album art to these albums.
I also noticed that none of these songs would play. They wouldn't play on my iPod or on iTunes. You can click play and it looks like it's going to play, but the counter never leaves "0".
I thought something was wrong with my files and that I would have to re rip or download the songs. However, by chance I opened one of the songs in Window Media Player and it worked, so I knew the files were fine.
I did a search online and found several people with the same problem and a few things to try. But nothing worked until I stumbled upon a solution of setting the ID3 tags to version "None", then setting them to version 2.4. I tried it and it worked.
But now it keeps happening, I get a new group of albums every day that won't play.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
How do I prevent it?
Do I really need to take every song in my library and change the ID3 tags, that could take forever?
Could anyone please help and shed some light on this.
Thank You

Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First, update iTunes...
iTunes
Now, connect your iPod and go to edit-->preferences in iTunes. Hit the iPod tab. Make sure that show album art is checked. If it is, then uncheck it. Hit ok. Now go back and recheck the option. Click ok.
If it still won't work, then do what I said above again, except this time let the iPod update, eject, and then disconnect it from the computer after you uncheck the option. Then reconnect the iPod and enable the option.

ITunes Album art/possible meta data issue? Really need help

So ill try and break this down as simple as possible...
I moved all my music from my Windows PC to my brand new MacBook Pro. All the song info/album Art and everything matches just fine on my windows pc. However on my Mac when itunes downloads any artwork it puts in artwork from other albums and artists. When I click on the song up in the iTunes sidebar lists Artist/Songs from an entirely different album. I have tried fixing all Meta data and converted ID tags and matched everything perfectly to iTunes Store but it still things the artwork is for another artist and the sidebar diplays the same info. I have even cleared out my library and copied to an external and reimported but same issue. I dont want to sit here and fix every single artwork problem especially when the information to the album is literally word for word match in iTunes store.
My other fear is that if iTunes thinks some of my songs are completely different artists when iTunes Match rolls around my songs will not populate correctly?
Please any other ideas? Like I said the album meta data is 100% matched (Artist, Song, Genre, Year, tracks)
