Album Art iTunes 11

In the latest crappy version of itunes 11.0 how do you get it to show album art. Better yet Cover Flow.

If you are in Album view and click Song view, you can view all the information you wish. It is an extra click but innovation seems to be that way these days.

Movie album art - iTunes 11.0.5 (5)

I just updated iTunes to 11.0.5(5) now when i try to add album art to my movies iTunes crashes. Anyone experiencing this problem or have any suggestions on a fix? Before I updated I have added album art dozens of times with no issue using same process.
Thanks!

Following a posting from nyboy_x5 to a different problem, I opened my Norton Internet Security.
I went to Settings > Network> Smart Firewall > Program Rules: Configure > and then Scrolled to iTunes
and found the setting as "Auto".
I changed the setting to "Allow", then clicked "Apply" and now it works!

Shared Album Art - iTunes 7

I have disabled iTunes from getting album art due to the issues it was having with Greatest Hits and replacing art that had already been collected (due to no album art before, now it wants to take over).
My question is with shared music. We have a PC in another location and share iTunes via the share preference. Prior to the upgrade, we were able to see the ablum art from the main PC or file location that was associated with the music file (i.e. the art I collected for each album). Now it shows Artwork not modifiable" on the shared music. Not a biggy as we can still listen to music, but an annoyance none the less.
All this time wishing for auto art and now I wish I did not select iTunes to get "missiing" when upgraded. More fool me...

How do I disable detached Album Art window in iTunes 10?

Hello,
In iTunes 9, whenever playing any music with album art, iTunes would not attempt to detach a separate window.
However, new in iTunes 10, every time I play a song that has album artwork, iTunes will automatically detach a small separate popup window that is supposed to show the album artwork for that song (I say "supposed', because the album artwork never shows up in this window; it's always just pitch black), as well as playback controls when you mouse over that detached window.
Also, whenever you try to close this album artwork popup window, song playback also stops! So one is forced to keep it open the entire time iTunes is playing music that happens to have album artwork.
I would like to remove this detached popup window and never have it show up, as it increases clutter with an extra window on my desktop, and most importantly, I did not instruct iTunes to open a separate window in the first place.
I searched iTunes preferences exhaustively and could not find an option to disable this album artwork popup window.
Is there a defaults write com.apple.iTunes command that can disable it? Or some other way to get iTunes to stop always automatically displaying this separate album artwork popup window? (And NO, I don't want to just minimize it).
Thank you.

Do you mean iTunes 10 or 11?
I'm pretty sure this is controlled by the import settings for CDs. Go to "preferences->general",
and click "Import settings" next to the CD line. You can select MP3 or AAC there.

Can I force iTunes not to embed custom album art, but store it separately?

(I only use iTunes to manage my 16GB iPod nano 5th gen and update my mother's iPad.)
Now as far as I am aware, when iTunes downloads album art, it stores it separately from the audio files, and thus several tracks share the same image file for their artwork. This seems economical to me, considering the space limitations that most Apple devices have.
But if you set your custom album art, iTunes embeds it into the audio files themselves, so each has a copy of the artwork, and thus the total size of artwork increases about tenfold. Now this is okay when storing the audio files on personal computers, but is quite stupid for devices with limited storage capacities. It really depends on the size of the artwork and the bitrate your audio is encoded to, but I calculated I could put an extra 300MB of music onto my iPod if I could just somehow force iTunes to store my custom album art separately, not embed it into the audio files by default.
Does anybody have an answer/solution to this problem, or do I have to look beyond iTunes to do this?
Thanks!
(Note that I do not wish to use the iTunes download artwork service, as it is quite unreliable and the artwork is of low quality.)

ITunes, Samba, Network.. wont allow manual album art updates argh!

Hello,
I have all my music in mp3 format on my linux server, which runs glftpd + scripts that catalogue the mp3 upon upload into genres/year/artist to make for easier finding of songs. I then use samba to access the shares within the glftpd directory structure, e.g.; /glftpd/site/mp3/albums.. I have added this share into windows as a mapped drive (M:\). The problem is this, whilst I can add the folder/drive into iTunes, i cant manually update the album art. iTunes does find some are for the albums, but I have a different source which I want to use to update the art. I also noticed that its not just the art I cant edit, its the track info. This i expected becuase the tracks reside on a network share which glftpd has probably locked permissions on, however the album art i cant understand becuase the library resides on my windows pc.
Any ideas ?

I answered on your other post....
+the album art i cant understand becuase the library resides on my windows pc.+
If you want to edit a track's artwork, it's like editing track info - the permissions are locked.
The iTunes downloaded art is in separate folders, not the ID3 tags in the actual mp3 files.
on XP the path is
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork

How can I reset all my song data - genre, year, album art etc. from CDDB?

Like most people I've built up my music collection over quite a few years.
In the old days, album info often couldn't be found online, and I had to input data manually.
Also, new fields have appeared in the CDDB since I imported some older tracks.
This means that a lot of my songs have data missing in fields, poor quality album art, or inconsistent genres etc.
Is there anyway to strip out this information and get iTunes to go back to the CDDB and download the info (for tracks already in the library) afresh?
The obvious way, selecting an album and choosing "get CD track names" doesn't seem to work if there is already data there, even if it's manually entered and incorrect.
Also, if you try and get new album art, iTunes won't replace art manually associated with the files (i.e. that I added myself from a low-res image 5 years ago).
This must be a fairly common issue - can anyone help to solve it?
Obviously the more global the solution the better - i.e. a way to do it to multiple albums, rather than one track at a time!
Many thanks in advance
T.

I have bad news for you...I tried doing the same thing a while back and couldn't find any easy way. Eventually, I had to strip the mp3 tags from the songs and (using a third party mp3 tag editor) had software that automatically looked them up on the net and put the info back in. Then, I had to get the album artwork in iTunes. Quit a pain! I did it one album at a time. Good luck!

How to resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?

How can i resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?
iTunes on my old PowerMac G5: there is a slider to resize album arts.
iTunes on my Win7 PC: where is the slider to resize album arts???

In the Grid view, *View > Grid View > Show Header* should expose the header. In the List view it's contolled by the size of the artwork column.

Will ID3 enable Album Art ?

I recently added some of my Iron Maiden songs to the library, and each carriers its genuine album artwork when i play the file on the windows media player. Would converting the files to ID3 tag enable the album art to show when it plays on my ipod? If not please advice on steps i should take in order to accomplish this. Thanks

Your songs already have an id3 tag.
The only issue is the difference in how iTunes and WMP carry the album art.
iTunes includes the art in the id3 tag, WMP puts it in the folder. Which means that if you go to the folder that these songs are sitting in, you'll find the art. Then just drag it into iTunes' 'art box.'

ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums. Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes. Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

How can I display all album art of my library in iTunes

All my music tracks in my library contain the respective album art within their ID3-tags and it is perfectly displayed in the lower left corner window when I select or play a track.
What I really would like to do is to browse through my library using the album art, not the text-based endless lists (title, album, interpret, genre etc.), then click on a cover, see the tracks and select one.
Is there a feature in iTunes already that can do that or a plug-in somewhere in the market ? (I do not need a tool that collects album art like eyejamz, but a tool to display the art I already have)
Thanks a lot for any feedback

Bakergirl,
You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times.
But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity.

Adding Album Art to iTunes Local Folder?

I have a setup on iTunes on my Dell Dimension Desktop Machine. Basically I have uploaded ALL my CD collection to HDD in WAV format to retain sound quality.
My problem is with getting all the Album Art to work.
About one third of my collection iTunes does not have the Album Art? so I have scanned it all manually and placed an Folder.jpg in each Album/Track Folder.
I appreciate that WAV music files don't have a means of adding extra data to them like MP3 files, therefore, iTunes saves its own downloaded Album Art in a folder called "Download", there is also another Folder called "Local" which is where your manually added Album Art should go?
These are stored as .itc files
However then I try to manually try to add my own album art to the album, by selecting all tracks, Get info, Add album art to the white square and pressing OK nothing happens?
In the Artwork display box it say in large text "Artwork Not Modifiable"? for some reason?
Any ideas??

Hi Andrew. As far as plug&play, I have not found anything. My best bet was to use a proper utility to grab album art on a go forward basis for all new tracks, and then for the old tracks that have the incorrect metadata, I slowly go through, open up a browser with amazon.com loaded, and then search for the albums/related art that I need. Once I find it I click on the album art in the main browser, which spawns a child window with just the jpeg of the album art in it, and then drag and drop it from that browser into the album art pane. Far from plug and play, but it gets the job done.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.
