Album art mixed up on Ipod 5G

Hello,
I have a 5g ipod and recently finished riping over 200 CD's to Itunes. I added album art to every song on every disk . My Ipod is displaying the album art but it is displaying the wrong art on many songs. Sometimes it shows one art image on the small version next to the song info and then when you click through to the full screen version you get yet another image. All these songs art looks fine when viewed in Itunes on my PC. I spent tons of time getting these on there and now at least 40% are crap on my ipod. Anyone else have this problem?

You do know you can have more than 1 piece of art for each song?
Go to the album anbd open the first song.
Get INfo and Artwork.
There is a little slider under the artwork which zooms in/out. Move it to see if there is more than 1 cover. If so, just select it and hit delete.
Also, when putting artwork in, find it and copy it to the clipboard, select the ablum, make sure the Album Artorwork box (bottom left of iTunes) displays Selected Song, then paste into this box. Easier than doing it one at a time for same album.

Mixed up album art in iPhone's iPod

When viewing albums in Coverflow the album art is all correct. However whenever I flip the phone around some random album art is shown in place of the correct one.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas? I am working on re-syncing my music (which takes forever by the way) to see if that fixes it.

Although this discussion is a bit old I think it's still worth answering it as google points to this page.
The only reason for the above to happen (Different cover art appearing in horizontal and vertical) I can think of is that Iphone Cover Flow is an Album Art only.
iPhone and iTunes has at least two modes to display your music in that is:
* Song mode - where tune's art is pulled from the file if any exists.
* Album mode - where album art is shared by multiple tunes with the same "ALBUM NAME".
So if many of the songs has no ALBUM NAME at all or share something like Unknown etc. It's is likely that in Cover Flow Mode (Which is Album View) those will have some strange things displayed.
On the other hand I currently have slightly different problem hence my search. My Art is mixed up especially among the podcasts. Totally... I'll try full resync.
BTW. If you got the Art in one way or another but after uploading the tunes to iPhone you don't see it it's likely that you downloaded Art only for one of them and iTunes is showing that one for all that share the album name. If you get the art from iTunes Store then Highlight all tunes that should contain the art and right-click>Get Album Artwork, otherwise Get Info and double-click on the Artwork field on the right-hand side.

Is there a good way to update album art directly on my ipod?

Hi, new here.
So I have an ipod nano 5th gen: 16GB.
I have ~1500 songs on it and have been facing a slew of interesting issues with my album art.
1. I prefer to add songs manually as I tend to want only some of an artist, genre, or similar, and I like the control it gives me. The problem that I've been having is that there is no efficient way to add artwork to the songs / albums on my ipod that I have ripped from CDs, and are already on my ipod. Going through all my songs and seeing if they have art would be tedious and time consuming, and the only better way to do this seems to be deleting songs off of my ipod and re-copying them. Normally, I would just delete all my songs and re-copy them all, and go do something else for half an hour or so, but there are some songs on my ipod that may not even exist on my computer anymore, and I can't get them again. Is there a better way to just synch songs with the ones in my library and update those that have had art added? (The synch button at the bottom of the ipod tab / window doesn't seem to do that.)
2. At one point, I tried manually adding artwork to albums using Wikipedia images / etc, and I know that many people like to put their own artwork for their albums. The problem I had is that adding the artwork directly to the album only updated the firts track, and the rest still had the big note on them. Is there a way to adress this and make it apply the picture to the whole album?
3. When I was finally able to update my images because they required an apple id, and I didn't have a credit card to give, the custom images on the albums stayed. Is there a way to override this? The artwork that was downloaded looks better then what I had.
I know this is a lot, but I think these questions are related enough.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Can I have more than one album art Image displayed on ipod per song?

Can someone help?
My issue is that in itunes I can add more than one image (album art) to an individual song. While it's playing, in the display album art (bottom left corner) I can flick through all the images a particular song contains. I got exicted and came to the assumption that not only can I display album art (covers) but also single art (covers) for songs that got release from an album on my ipod. However when I downloaded all the tracks on to my ipod it only displays album art and not single art (covers) for released songs. Is there a way I can have both album and single art displayed on my ipod for a song? I spent hours finding these single art covers on the internet!

On the iPod you can only display one picture attached to that song. The one that gets assigned to the song is the first picture on the list in iTunes.

Album Art not showing on iPod

This has been an annoying problem the past several years of using iTunes, I was able to get some versions of the iTunes to work but I just uploaded the new 7.5 iTunes version...and when I try to add an album art to the songs on my iPod they don't show up except on iTunes.
Is this iTunes version being screwy? Anyone else with the same problem, anyone with a solution?

I'm having the same problem, iTunes could not find the album art for several imported albums so I scanned the cover, it shows on iTunes perfectly but not on my iPod

Album art not syncing on iPod Video

Hi.
I'm new to iPods. Don't hate me.
I purchased a bunch of songs at work on my G5. That's not my "home" Mac. I copied them to my iPod in drive mode, brought them back to the "home" Mac. Added them to iTunes by drag and drop. Synced. They show up in iTunes and on my iPod, but the album art is not there. What happened?
Again, I purchased them on a different computer and loaded to my "home" Mac.
Is it at all possible for the art to show up?
Thanks!

The album art is stored in the iPod's database. This should work...

Make a playlist or lists for all of your audiobooks, then in your iPod preferences, change to sync the iPod to only those specific audiobook playlists.

Album art is wrong on iPod but right on iTunes

I have album art for a good amount of my music. In iTunes the it is all correctly assigned but when I use my iPod it has the wrong album art on about 70% of my music. I have tried deleting everything from the iPod and reloading it. It kind of worked but everytime I buy new music and assigned ablumn art it messes it up. Wondering if anyone has any ideas?
Thank you in advance!

I've got the exact same problem. I'd love to hear a solution. Thanks.

ITunes got smarter about album art, why not the iPod Classic?

I'm a long time iTunes fan and noticed that iTunes USED to be "stupid" about album art where the user had to paste the art in multiple times (into every track) or it didn't display in cover flow properly. And, once you did this, then a synched iPod would also display the correct album art on every track instead of SOME of the tracks, which I saw it do...
But the latest versions of iTunes have noticed got "smarter" and I have seen it now where you only need to paste in one image, and iTunes displays it as needed AUTOMATICALLY on all other tracks on the same album.
This is obviously a step forward, especially if you have 5,000 tracks on your iPod!!
I just got a new iPod Classic and I have concluded after a lot of technical research and experimentation that it is still "dumb", and seems to need the album art pasted into every track STILL. It's annoying to me as a computer scientist that the same feature or benefit isn't there on both platforms.
I know this is a pretty advanced question compared to the normal iTunes user, but I was hoping that someone could point me to a better solution than having to paste up to 5,000 album arts into my iPod?
Thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate any comments.

As a computer scientist I love your handle! Are you real? <jk>
I go way way way back with iTunes, I was using it to rip CD's, and as my primary music player on my desktops and laptops beginning in the 90s when it was Mac-only! Long before the iTunes Store even appeared, in fact. I don't actually have even one purchased iTunes store track, just have 5,000 ripped files from my own purchases. I also have edited the files I've imported, so my collection has only stuff I have pre-listened to and like personally, so I found Shuffle play to be a "100% win" and I use it exclusively on both my laptop and my iPod. It's a "100% win" because I stack the deck, to use an american expression.
I had a large CD collection of 500+ CDs so you can see I am a major music enthusiast. Unfortunately, I don't possess the CDs any more but I do have the electronic copies...
I loved how ITunes was time-optimized algorithmically to high efficiency in the ripping process (no doubt Steve Jobs guidance) and automatically looked up track names and artists on the Internet, and automatically managed the MP3s files too. It's competition (Winamp and WMP) still required you to manually manage everything. I also used the burn mp3 cd's function which made single-button burning of up to 12 hours of playlisted content a LOT.
So, that's why I do recall the early days when it was not as "smart" as it is now.
I visited your scripts page, a lot of very cool things there, but, if I understand correctly, Visual Basic doesn't work on OS X? That ***** MICROSOFT. Reminds me of when MS didn't support Apple clients on Exchange!
Any further suggestions?

Can you vary the Album Art Size on the iPod?

I would like to know if you can change the size of the album art. It currently shows a small picture of the album. I would like to have the album cover most of the screen. Please advise.

While a song is playing, click the select (center) button twice.
This should display the album art full-screen.
Cheers!

Problem when Syncing Music: Album Artwork Mixed Up on Ipod Touch

I have a 64gb iPod touch, 4th generation. I sync my music over usb to the iPod through itunes with my entire library. Over the past year I have been having an issue where the music album artwork will be mixed up or sometimes dissapear/not show. Not all of my music does this, mind you, but only some of it. I have a lot of music so it's hard to say what percentage of it but it seems to be at random. I don't mean random as in it changes everytime but that there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason behind which tracks/albums get their artwork mixed up. I have no videos on the ipod either.
So I've tried many things. I've reset my iPod Touch, always made sure the music app didn't appear in the bottom tray after double clicking(when I sync) and even tried setting my library up on my new computer (it used to be on my old one). Also I've gone through my mp3 collection and cleaned and synchronized all of the tags(between albums, ID3v1 & ID3v2) and album artwork with Mp3Tag. Everything is flawless (I have OCD, hah). Also everything appears correct in iTunes and I'm only having the issue on my iPod touch.
Here is a breakdown of what I've noticed but can't explain:
1.Reset ipod, reinstall iOs,
2.Sync library with iPod touch, everything is fine,
3.Add a few more tracks to the iTunes library,
4.Resync iPod Touch(here I've noticed something weird. Now the ipod resyncs some of tracks that are already on my iPod Touch and when I look at those tracks in the music app the album artwork is mixed up or sometimes gone.
So I don't really know what to do. I've looked through every forum and website looking for a fix and tried everything I can think of or suggested so far. Any help would be appreciated. I should point out that this problem is merely cosmetic and all the tracks play fine. But I bought a $400 iPod Touch and it can't even do the one thing that made it famous properly. I don't know, these electronics are expensive and things like this are helping me to lose faith in Apple. I've already bought an android phone over lack of faith that the iPhone would display my music correctly. I know it seems silly but an organized library is important to how much I can enjoy my device.
Thanks, hope you guys can help!

I have an iPod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album art only on my ipod and not on itunes? Is there any way I can fix it?

I have an ipod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album artwork on my ipod and it's fine on itunes. why is that and is there any way to fix it? please help!

I think it can't find the right or any artwork and ends up putting junk in there.
And can happen with artist and other tags.
probably fine with commercial media but otherwise....? I think you have to manaully go in and edit
I also don't like how it handles and stores non-Apple iTunes store content.
