Album art. Shown as bitmart. Need to change to jpeg.

Can anyone help please.
I have a 5th Gen ipod video. Album art shows up as bitmart. I have had a Parrot Mki9200 car kit installed but this shows artwork for one track then on change to the next track Parrot switches itsself off. Reboots then plays the next track without artwork. On to track 3 and artwork reappears. Track 4 powers off again.
According to Parrot artwork should be saved in jpeg format only. I have tried to copy artwork to Paint then convert it to jpeg. Then I copy the jpeg to itunes and it shows it is updating artwork but when I copy the artwork back to my photos to check it out it comes up as bitmart.
Help!!!!!!!
I am fairly new to all this so if you can help I would be happy if you explain it in the simplist of terms.

I have a 5th Gen ipod video.
This is the iPhone 3GS hardware forum. There is another section of Apple forums for the iPods - post this there.

Album art shown in grid view

In the new grid view which shows the album art for artists, is there a way to set the image shown for the artist, like you press space to choose the picture shown in iPhoto?
It's annoying at the moment becasue I use it in artist mode but some artists with more than one album show the image for a compilation that they are on rather than one of their albums. Eg, under Coldplay, the artwork shown is a Now album, rather than say Viva la vida. Can I change the album shown as the main image?
Thanks

Ok, I've been playing around with iTunes 8 and have found the answer myself. If when in Grid view with more than the one album for the artist, show the album art required and right click and choose Set Default Album Artwork and it will change it to this. Alternatively choose Get Info whilst on the grid view and it will allow you to paste an artwork in here which it will use as a default.
Hope this helps anyone else wanting to do a similar thing!

How to get bigger album art?? And how to change iTunes 10 font??

Hiya!!
I just wanna know is there any chance to get a bigger album art in this window:
[IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2wcjsk9.jpg[/IMG]
I know that there was a way to get bigger album art in iTunes 9, but after recent iTunes update there's no way to get a bigger album art in this window!!
And the second question is that how do i change the font in iTunes 10?? In iTunes 9 it was iTunes.ttf and iTunes Bold.ttf, but non of those fonts are not working in iTunes 10.

The easiest way I have found to get acceptable album art is to go to Amazon music and copy and paste their album art into your Itunes info. Most, but not all, come up with very good quality and right size (large) As far as the font I have no idea.
I got the impression that the original poster was meaning that that wanted iTunes to display the album artwork at a larger size in the list view, not that the artwork itself needed to be bigger. The iTunes Store already provided 600x600 pixels artwork (Amazon only provides 500x500 pixels) so I don't think that is the problem.
I am not aware of a way of altering the list view to show the artwork bigger, but one can show the artwork in its own window at full size by turning on the 'show artwork for selected item' in the bottom left of the iTunes window, and then double-clicking on it to open it in its own window. It is also the case the other different views, like coverflow show the artwork at a bigger size than the list view.

Problem: How to get album art shown on nokia 6120 ...

Hi guys, i need help once again, how can i get the album art on my 6120 classic player? any advices any ideas? i really want to get the art there since it was one of the main reasons i bought the phone, i mean the good looks of its music player, thanks in advance once again for your advices

I just discovered that the best and possibly only way to get your album artwork to display on your nokia is to have the album artwork present in your iTunes album cover disply before trying to convert them to your phone.
Im not sure if a similar process would work for other media players. Its as simple as copying the image from windows explorer images into your album artwork box in iTunes and then importing your files again.
Good Luck, hope this works for you

My findings -- Album art shown in iTunes 7 but not in iPod

Well, after several round of testings, here's my conclusion:
For song in iTunes library, i can change the album art and upload the song to iPod. The album art shows in iPod and stays...however if i decided to change the album art later for the same song by directly dragging the album art to song info box in iPod, the updated album art displays in iTunes BUT not in iPod, in fact NO ALBUM ART is displayed at all...even though how many times i check/uncheck the DISPLAY ALBUM ART box.
The only way to change the album art again is to drag the new album art to the song in my iTunes library and later drag that song again to iPod.
As a summary, it DOES NOT allow me to add or change any album art directy to songs stored in iPod. The only workaround is have the exact copies of songs stored in iTunes library and do auto sync.
For me this is totally not flexible as in order to save hard drive space, i believe most of us will store songs in Ipod and remove them from iTunes library (correct me if i am wrong). And all we can do is wait til the next release of firmware from Apple.........
Hello Apple, r u listening out there!?!?!
BTW, i am using iTunes 7 and iPod 5G 60GB 1.2 firmware.

phewww. Been going crazy, thinking i waas the only one with this problem. It was never a problem with 6.5.
and yes, we all dont save tracks in the media library. i have never even used it
So fix ASAP.

Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Kelvin

Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

When optimizing my album art, Unknown Error(-50)

Unknown Error(-50) consistently pops up when i try to put album art onto my iPod. i have enabled it in the iPod options, reset the iPod, charged it to full, i have the latest versions of software, and i have checked to make sure that all 200 songs work and are not glitched. someone please tell me how to fix this and what the error means.

hi thisisivan!
hmmm. how many songs do you have album art for that you need to try to sync to the ipod?
the (-50) in these circumstances can sometimes be caused by a corrupt image associated with a song file. the trick would be trying to work out which one was dodgy (if that was what was causing the issue).
maybe try switching the ipod to "manually manage songs and playlists" and trying to transfer the songs across a few at a time. if you find a particular batch of those songs that throws up the error, try moving across those songs one at a time until you find the one that is causing the grief (if that's what's going on).
then delete the artwork from that song (or songs).
does that help at all?
love, b

Enhanced Podcast Album Art

When I am listening to an Enhanced Podcast (one that has different chapters and Album Art for each chapter) on my iPhone 3GS the album art and chapter title doesn't change on my Lock Screen. It just displays the first album art and first chapter title throughout the whole podcast. Please let me know how to get the Album Art and Chapter titles to change on the lock screen as the podcast plays. I am using iPhone 3.0.1 Firmware.
Thanks Matt

make sure you have the most current version of Media Explorer. (from the website)vision m is actually listed under mp3 players for future ref. i got all my album art from amazon.com.i just used the overall default of 500x500 pixels as the "standard" size to use in transfer.... mainly b/c thats what most album covers where from the site. pics that were smaller then that, i searched google image for the album cover. i used picture it 7.0 to resize image to 500x500 give or take a few pix off either way, keeping resize in proportion to each other. then save the image. *amazing site as well to get album art. again you will need to pic a size for album cover art.http://www.zero.co.nz/music/[color="#000099">?so with the most updated version of media explorer, just bring up the album view and pull over album art on top of blank album cover. it was very time consuming ( have not found way to cut down on time... the more you ahve the longer it takes to load up, ect.. ), that and i had ALOT of albums on there. but i am very very happy with the end result. like i said 500x500 looks great. just just me.

Album art different for songs depending on orientation

Anyone else notice this? In widescreen the album art for a song is correct - if portrait mode the album art seems random. If you change orientation the album art changes (from right (in widescreen) -> to wrong (in portrait) and back again).

+Anyone else notice this? In wide screen the album art for a song is correct - if portrait mode the album art seems random. If you change orientation the album art changes (from right (in widescreen) -> to wrong (in portrait) and back again).+
Mine is just reversed--In portrait mode, the song playing has an accurate artist, song title and album cover. Switch the portrait to landscape (horizontal) and the album cover and song title is correct but one artist is ALWAYS the listed artist regardless of the song and title. The artist NEVER changes in my landscape mode.

Approx amount of songs - does this include album art?

Hi,
I am deciding on the 1GB or 2GB, 1 GB will probably be enough for my type of use, however,
If the approx amount of songs for a 1gb is around 240, based on 4 mins, AAC..etc, Does the approx amount of 240 songs include each song having album art showing, if not, how many songs am I looking at if each song has album art as I may need to get a 2GB if it significantly reduces.
Cheers,
Walshy

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The estimate includes the album artwork.
However, I would still get a larger iPod just to allow for more music. Also, the iPod can be used to store files, store and view photos, etc., all of which you may want to take advantage of and require more space.

Why can't I change album art?

Here's the issue.
I have 3423 songs that are in my library, all of which have messed up cover art. At one point I must have applied the same Jay-Z Blueprint cover art to all of my files on accident so now every song has the same Jay-Z cover.
I've made a smart playlist with the rule "Album Art = True."
I then went through all 3423 songs, deleting the cover art from the Artwork tab. I used a script/macro app so I didn't have to do this manually.
After running this script/macro, the smart playlist is empty, as expected.
After these changes, I left my iTunes open for another day to let the changes sync to the cloud.
I come back the next day and find that the same 3423 songs are back in the playlist, artwork still there.
I did this one more time. Next day, same results. The cloud seems to ignore my changes and keeps the art no matter what I do.
I read of a few elaborate workarounds that have you delete songs from your library and then re-add them but that's not an option for me. I have a great deal of playlists created that use many of these songs and as soon as I delete these songs from my library, those playlists are going to get messed up.
Please, Apple support, can you offer some assistance?

Hi,
Do as you have done before but turn off match once completed. Close iTunes.
Create a new iTunes library. iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
Turn on iTunes Match, select add this computer. This will show all your music in the cloud. If artwork is shown, delete as before. Close iTunes and reopen original library. Turn on match.

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.

Changing album art for videos?

When I import video into my iTunes 6 library, the "album art" is generated automatically. It pulls a frame from the video & uses it as the art, but I'd much rather choose the art myself.
I have not yet figured out how to delete this album art or change it. Anybody know how?
It seems that with the addition of video to iTunes, Apple may need to rethink the software's approach to tags.

Find the frame that you want to use. Ctrl (right) click on the image in the small window at the bottom and choose "Set Poster Frame".
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.

Album art. Shown as bitmart. Need to change to jpeg.
