Album art troubles.

I manually downloaded music from a friends music library to my ipod touch, unfortunately they didn't have album art for any of it. I tried to manually add the album art through itunes while my ipod was plugged in. iTunes showed that it processed the tracks when I added it and my ipod showed that it was syncing but the album art didn't show up. Please help, I'm about to throw the stupid device out the window.

You can edit the song information correct? Do you get any error messages?

Any Suggestions for Album Art Trouble?

I have a lot of CDs on iTunes and I tried to download the cover art for the CDs. However, the Apple store doesn't have the artwork for many CDs and for others, it downloads the wrong cover art. For the Buena Vista Social Club, for example, it downloaded the cover of Astral Social Club. It doesn't have any cover art for the Beatles (is that because Apple and Apple Records were suing each other over trademark infringement? I thought that had been settled). Is anyone else having this sort of trouble? And how do you get rid of the album art that's wrong? I've tried dragging it to the trash, but nothing happens.

Good advice from Diane Wordsmith. A couple of shortcuts:
To fill in missing artwork: Google and find the correct artwork. Copy it. Get Info on the song tracks and paste the artwork into the artwork field.
Set the views to "show artwork", highlight the track or tracks, then just drag the image from the browser window to the empty artwork box. To make image searching faster in Google, click on the "images" feature in the results window to just see hits with artwork.
To get rid of wrong artwork: Get Info on the song tracks. Select the artwork in the artwork field and hit delete. Then copy and paste as noted above to apply correct artwork. (The artwork field will hold more than one image, so you must hit delete first to get rid of artwork that's wrong.)
If you want to delete artwork from a bunch of files at once, highlight the group of files. Get Info. Click on the box next to the artwork box and close the info window. This will delete all artwork in those files.
Note. Adding artwork to files this way will increase the size of the file. Usually if a single track from an album has artwork it will display for all the items in the album so you don't necessarily need to add artwork to all the tracks in an album. This will save some space.
I am hoping this hasn't changed all that much since iTunes 7.5

Trouble finding album art

find it strange that itunes can't find quite a bit of album art.

I find it particularly weird when you're staring at the album in the Store and you wonder what you're doing wrong that it can't find the album to give you its cover art. I'm having that problem right now with Madge's "Ray of Light". She's staring right at me in the Store but the art just won't download. I've tried retyping every field. Couple of other albums giving me fits too, but this one is particularly galling.

How can I quickly get the same album art for all tracks on an album without manually doing them one at a time?

I am having trouble with album art linked to each track. My library is ripped from my own cd's and ITunes only provides some of the artwork from a find artwork search. The rest must be found and added one at a time manually from web. This process is tedious and time consuming for me. Is there a file in iTunes related to each album that I can just drop the art once and it shows up linked to all the tracks from that album when they play? I've tried selecting all songs from an album and dragging the artwork to the artwork window once in hopes of all tracks getting the artwork at the same time with no luck. Any advice for this paltry artwork dilemma would be appreciated. If Cassidy & Greene still owned this ******* child of SoundJam I know I would not be having this problem! HaHa...Thanks for any advice/help with this problem.

Thx 4 quick reply alexbird. Your method will work and after a little experimenting so will this: Just go to the album art view option and highlight the album you want artwork for. Drag the artwork from your album art web search page to bottom left hand album art window in iTunes and just drop it there. A small progress window then appears showing each album track adopting the dropped artwork one by one. It only takes 10-15 seconds for all of the tracks on your album to adopt the new artwork. I then went back and removed unwanted artwork(from the albums that had it) track by track from the get info menu. This goes pretty quick as you just pick track>get info>artwork>highlight art>delete>ok for each track.
This drag/drop to the album art view page has been the simplest and most effective way I have discovered to manually import album artwork into iTunes so far. Hope this helps someone else out there. Any other methods or suggestions to do this task added to this thread will be duly noted. Thx... Oh, I am currently using iTunes 10.5.1

Wrong Album Art 4 Certin Albums

When going thur the iPod on my iPhone I c a few albums with different album art(both thur coverflow & albums). But this does not happen on my laptop.Does anybody else have this problem? If anybody can help or give me an idea as to why this happens that would be a great help. Thanks a mill!

I was having the same trouble with album artwork being displayed on the wrong albums or not showing up at all even though it is correct and in place in iTunes. What i did to solve it, although a bit of a hassle, was to delete all of my music from my iPhone and sync it all back in groups of 60-90 songs at a time after the 1.1.3 update and now everything looks and works great. Hope this helps...

Album Art Missing/Not Showing Up...Among Other Things

Recently my new Q10 has decided to stop showing album art randomly - I say randomly as art work that used to show has now suddenly gone either black or now shows the default blue note art. I am practically OCD about my mp3 tags and while 3 different tagging programs say I have the correct art, my Q10 says otherwise.
And it's not just music per-say: I have recently come to the conclusion that there are no useful podcast apps yet out - I've tried about 4 "native" apps (or at least available in the app world store) and 5 different side loaded apps that claim to allow a user to manually add podcast episodes to the podcast folder as mp3s...another rant for another thread but those mp3 are also missing their respective art and one that I deleted ages ago (as it was corrupted) is STILL in my library and refuses to be deleted.
This all started after the update to 273 (no sign of anything after that)
I've tried rebooting my phone after removing the sd card, I've tried removing it from the music menu, the file is not on my phone so why is my library still showing it - even after it says the file no longer exists!?!?!?
Sorry to go on a rant/tangent but I actually really love my new Q10 but I HATE these niggling issues that seem to crop up like mushrooms everytime I try to do something, has anyone else had similar issues? Have they been fixed with the most recent update? Anyone else on O2 in the UK who actually has the update?
Sometimes I really hate technology....

Album art added by myself not transferring from iTunes to iPod

Hi. I just synced my library to my new iPod and everything is working fine except for some album art issues. The album art that is added by right-clicking in iTunes and choosing 'Get Album Artwork' copies across fine, it's the album art I've added myself that doesn't copy over (where album art would be displayed I just see a large blue musical note.)
I don't know much about iPods, this is my first one, so following the advice of a friend I've restored the iPod then re-synched it and that hasn't fixed it.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sometimes you have to make sure that each individual song has the artwork attached to it, rather than the album as a whole. Try that on one album to see if it works. In iTunes, right click on a few songs (one at a time) in the albums that are giving you trouble and verify that the artwork is attached to them.
Also, I've noticed on the new Nanos that you sometimes have to first delete a troublesome album from the Nano, then replace it--unlike earlier iPods (or it might be earlier versions of iTunes) which would actually update that information when you sync.

Album art not showing consistently on iPhone *lockscreen*

iTunes occasionally has trouble with album art, especially after syncs or updates (album art disappearing, or being reshuffled to the wrong mp3s, etc.).
The current problem is different. Normally, with the iPhone's (iPod) music playing, the album art will replace the wallpaper on the lock screen. Lately, this feature has stopped being consistent. Some tracks will display album art on the lock screen, some won't. Those that won't, do have album art embedded (100% certain of this). In one instance, the album art displayed was a mishmash of two different albums' art (again, only on the lock screen). Editing the mp3s to reinsert the album art in iTunes, and then re-syncing, has not solved the problem.
This is probably an issue with how iTunes is handling/editing those mp3s affected, or it may be an iPhone bug. There's nothing outstanding about the specific tracks in question - in every other way they appear to be normal (write enabled, and album art showing in track info).
This problem only occurs @ the lock screen. In iPod view, and album view, display of the album art is normal for all tracks.
I have noticed this also happening with other audio sources (ie, third party audio streaming apps, which normally show some kind of album art @the lock screen).
Thanks for any feedback.

I too have been having this issue & I've read the articles, advices & other discussions, but none of them fixes this issue. I reboot & still see the wrong album art on the lock screen. It is very annoying especially when you have iTunes with software that was purchased to "automajically" present the correct album artwork. For those of us who actually precise about how our libraries are organized this is a big deal. You spends hours days in keeping things organized, just for the sync to not resemble the labor...
I have both the iPhone 4 & an iPod Touch 2nd gen. You'd think Apple would get stuff like this together before approving it for an update. No one can convince me different... Apple & Windows now both have the same MO! Get a new team of testers.

Album art not showing up with recent update

With a recent iTunes update (10.2 or 10.2.1) suddenly the album art for a bunch of my music is not being detected anymore. This is album art that I've added to the files myself, and it's music not from iTunes Store. Other music of mine doesn't seem to be affected; it's only the music that I added album art myself. These songs were working just fine before the update, and still work in other programs. I'm having trouble determining specifically just what about the files is upsetting iTunes.

I'm having the same exact problem.
I've been reading up this morning on the different ways to correct this, and none of them work. Here's what I've tried:
- Manually add artwork to the album
- Advanced>Get Album Artwork
On older iTunes I'm getting the impression that you could go to your iPod/iPhone, click MUSIC, and then click something like "Allow/Enable (?) Album Artwork. Not finding it on iTunes 10.
Help!

Album Art not working

Ever since I've got gotten my iPod Nano, there have been troubles displaying the album art. I've worked through some of them, and other's I've just let go. This morning I realized that none of my album art was showing up. Both art that I've gotten through iTunes, and those that I've had to put in manually. They all show up in my iTunes library. I've tried checking and unchecking the 'Display Album Artwork' multiple times, and every time iTunes tells me there was an error and my iPod can't be synced. >:< I also get music from my brother's iTunes library on a different computer, and that's not showing up either. I am figuring there is something wrong with my iPod rather than both computers.

is your ipod set to update manually? if so, you have to go into the ipod in itunes and put the album art in there, not in the music library. some songs though, won't show album art at all...i have no clue why.

5800 xpressmusic album art issue

got this phone yesterday and i have since transferred a bunch of music from my PC to my phone. however, only about 10% of all albums were able to automatically include the album art. alternatively, i had to manually add the album art for each album - provided if the album art could be found in the gallery. what's curious is that, when connected by usb to my PC, and because adobe photo starter pops up by default for any connected media device of mine, i could see that the album art images, which could not be found in the gallery (and hence unable to be manually added), were very well present somewhere in my phone. clearly, i have trouble locating them. furthermore, whenever i delete an album art image from my gallery, i can kiss the said album art goodbye from the album/music app too.
my questions are:
1) where are the album art images which are floating somewhere in my phone/memory card ie. how can i locate them?
2) is there a way whereby i can ensure that the album art covers would be automatically secured along the music i transfer, so i would not have to manually add album art covers to each and every album?
3) why does the fate of album art covers being automatically attached to the albums seem so random?
4) is there any one way to fix these issues?
for info's sake and if relevant, i use mass storage mode via usb.
all help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!

1. Its embedded within the mp3 file.
2. By embedding them into the file
3. When you use iTunes (if you did not customize some settings) or the built in music browser, these mp3 files are simply linked to their corresponding album art. Once the mp3 or the album art's location is changed, the link is broken. However for embedded files, they are "inside" the mp3 file, like the tags we put for album and artist, etc, so they are taken with them.
4. I use TagTuner to embed my mp3's with album art.

ITunes (iMac) can't find album art

So about a month ago I finally took the plunge and switched from PC to Mac. I have an iMac, running Mavericks, and itunes 11.
I also have a Time Capsule, and when I moved my itunes library from the PC I put it there, both so I wouldn't clutter up my new hard drive and also to allow it to be accessed by other devices. I've had some trouble getting itunes to use that location as its default, especially after a reboot.
Itunes has lost a lot of the album art that the PC had. I moved everything from my PC, including the album art, which was in its own folder in the itunes library. And anyway, this is all stuff that should be accessible on the online database, since that's where it came from originally. I didn't scan in any jpgs or anything. When I go and look in the album art file folder it's all just folders inside folders, and I don't actually see any files.
So, what's the deal? Is it confused because these cds were inported by a PC? The songs play fine. If I put in a cd will it grab the metadata without my having to re-import the whole thing? Not keen on doing that.
This isn't a disaster or anything, it's just annoying. It's easier to scan my album list when the cover art shows than when half the albums show a gray box.

When you changed the directory, did you (or iTunes) move the actually music files? If you see little exclamation points and fail to be able to play the music in iTunes, this is probably your problem. You cannot update disconnected files.
You may also want to assure you are logged in to the iTunes store and that you can view the store? Maybe you have a firewall program like Zone Alarm blocking access?
Did you change anything else on your machine or install other software since the last time you were able to get album art that might be causing the problem?
