Album art work dashboard widget for PC

hi
Does anyone know where i can down load Album art work dashboard widget for PC
Rod Dohrman

Im having issues manually importing artwork to all
the songs on a CD. I used to select all the songs
and drag the album artwork to the "Drag album artwork
here" box. Now I can only get the art work to show
up for the current song playing. Therefore, I have
to play each song and drag the artwork to each song
on the CD. There has to be an easier way because I
used to do this and it worked find. Has something
changed in 7.2?
Select all of the tracks of the album, then open the Get Info window and drag your artwork to the little artwork box in the lower right.

  • How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

    I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing.  However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work.  So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be.  On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
    Any thoughts?  Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

    My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways.  First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder.  Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file.  You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder.  Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
    Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
    I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't.  I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder.  Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space).  Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same.  If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer.  It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
    You could try this for a file:
    Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
    Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

  • How to properly embed album art work into TV/Films itunes: home sharing lag

    My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
    I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.4(4) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
    The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
    I connect to the itunes home sharing service with the apple TV service using the "remote" application on the ipad.
    When I select Music/Albums TV Shows or Films from the menu of the itunes library the album art work loads (quickly) over the grey boxes as I scroll down. However this takes a few seconds for each "scroll" I do on the ipad (it has thousands of items in there).
    The exception to the rule is any paid content, when I open Music/TV/Films menu on the ipad the paid content (especially for TV and Films) the artwork is already there, and doesn't have to load it.
    How is the artwork for paid content contained differently than the artwork for content I've manually put into the itunes library.
    If I look at the itunes library locally on the machine hosting the itunes data, the artwork is there straightaway, no loading, pull up the items info with "get info" and click on art work, the artwork is there, and I can see no different in the art work settings for paid content or for content I've manually updated/loaded an image for.
    So why/how does the paid for content have artwork on the ipad the exact second I open it over the network, yet the non-paid for content take a few seconds per screen to load it.
    Is there something different in how the art work is embeeded, or is it a caching setting ? whats the difference.

    Dang You Autocorrect.
    You don't saw what size and resolution the embedded artwork is. This could be part of the issue. Artwork on movies you purchase from the iTunes Store is 667x1000 at 72 DPI so if yours is larger than this is could be causing the delay.

  • ITunes 11.1.5 Album Art Work Does Not Display in Vehicle

    Since iTunes 11.1.5, none of my album art work displays in my vehicle (Honda Civic 2013).  I'm fairly certain the fault is with iTunes, since I tried a new iPod Classic AND an iPhone 4 in my vehicle, with the same results.
    Is anyone else having this problem?  Has anyone found a fix?  Or do I need to wait for an iTunes update? 
    Last question:  Apple Support seems like a ridiculously LONG, convoluted process.  Is there a "bug" link where I can easily report?
    Regards,
    Nancy

    I somehow doubt Apple would even see technical support for playing their devices in third party players as their purview and you first step would be to go to Honda for this kind of issue.

  • Up loading album art work from the net problem

    Just recently, I keep getting " unknown error - 609 " every time I go for up loading album art work from the net. This applies to all the albums not just the really obscure ones ! and its just the art work because I can still get all the track listings.

    Actually I experienced the same thing but it's not an issue of missing artwork in the wi fi store. The reason I say this is that when initially purchased the artwork showed fine on the device.
    After syncing it also shows fine in ITunes. When checking the device again though, it seems to display random art from the library for that track. In cover flow, if not the center image, i displays what i can best describe as a color static image in the place of the album art.

  • I am trying to import my cd's onto itunes on a new macbook pro. i can import the cd fine but can not get track names or album art work. after going into advanced it is just coming up with "CDDB information not available"

    i can import the cd fine but can not get track names or album art work. after going into advanced it is just coming up with "CDDB information not available"
    thank you

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • How do I get album art work to download?  Some do and some don't.

  • Album Art work does not display

    So, in my iTunes my album artwork is not displayed. The files are on my computer, they just don't show up on my iTunes. I noticed the problem after I upgraded to Leopard, but in all honesty I could have had the problem before that without noticing. So, anyone have any ideas of what might be going on?

    Not sure if I have the same problem or not. My album art work shows up fine on the i-pod and in the small "now playing" window on the lower left of my pc but the main view window shows that "Itunes is unabke to browse album covers on this computer". I was always able to view this for as long as I have had the i-pod in the past before but now cant. On my PC (I tunes)the "Cover flow view" is selected and no matter what preference is selected the same message comes up and can not see album art work anymore on main window above song list.

  • Album art work on iPhone issue

    Recently I removed all the music from my iPhone 4S and stared from scratch. 99% of my Music in my iTunes has album art work and it's really helpful for me when look for a song on my phone cause I remember what the cover looks like. After a put music back on my iPhone a lot of my albums don't have there art work displayed. I have also come to notice that it only from some of my purchased song from iTunes and does it. I thought IOS6 would fix this but it didn't. Is there anyway this can be fix without restoring my phone and starting from complete scratch? It also seems to be happening on my iPod Touch (4th Gen) and my NEW iPad..
    Thanks!

    OK Gang... Since I didn't get a resolution here I decided to forego the 30 minute hold time and called Apple support. (I was just tired of seeing Prince's face on my James Taylor album!).
    Here is how to resolve this issue:
    In iTunes, select your phone and choose the 'Music' tab
    Unselect 'Sync music' then click 'Apply' (basically sync again)
    All your music should be removed from your iPhone at this point
    Now select the 'Sync music' option again and sync again
    Good luck

  • Itunes 10.5 lost album art work

    When I turn on Itunes after updating to 10.5, I've  lost 20% of my Album Art work, and when I tell I tunes to find it, it dosn't.  Anyone else having that issue?

    I wanted to post this to try to help other people out there who are frustrated with the Album Art and other iTunes issues.  This information builds on things I learned in past iTunes versions, but this is mostly about iTunes 10.5.1, and iOS 5.0.1.  I ran in to all these problems after I updated iTunes and the iPod, and a BIG mistake I made is I have not been keeping up with backing up iTunes.  I had three problems, I was missing songs, I was missing album art, and I had a problem with one of my apps I just updated.  I had to find a way to find an earlier version of that app, Snaplink Mobile, and then revert to back to it.  But that's another issue that doesn't affect most people, so back to the music issues.  I'm not saying this will fix everyone's situations, but this will probably work for most of us.  I read all the posts from people who lost all their album art.  I had to do the below and 2-3 syncs before I saw most of my art back.
    First, I had to find a way to get ALL the music off of both iTunes and the iPod.  I can't emphasize enough what a mistake it is to reset the iPod or iTunes to factory settings before you try everything else!  There were 3 videos I brought that only existed on the iPod after I reset iTunes, and if I had reset both the iPod and iTunes before thinking, I would have lost them.
    So, what happened was, it is not that clear in iTunes 10.5, you have to go to the iPod tab, then the music tab, and uncheck the box that says "sync music", then at the bottom hit apply.  This does not erase your music, it just removes it from iTunes.  Then on the iPod, version 5.0.1, I had to go to Settings, then General, then Usage, then Music, and then there's a hidden delete button for the music.  Under "all music," sweep your finger across the right side of the all music bar, and the hidden delete button will appear.
    Then, it took 2-3 sync's to finally get both the iPod and the iTunes with no music.  Then, I re-checked "sync music" on iTunes and on sync, all my music was back on the iPod.  Then on iTunes, I clicked "consolidate library" and it copies (it does not move) all your music in to the iTunes music folder in one place.  Now all my music was back, but still a lot of art issues, so on to that.
    If you use Google Images, you can find a LOT of missing album art, a lot of it is on Amazon, and other sources.  You want images that are square, and somewhere between 300 x 300 and 500 x 500, ideally.  Then, I use Microsoft Paint sometimes to edit the album covers if I want to change something small about the way they appear.  Then put all the art in a folder in the same place.  Of course,  you can also run "find artwork" in iTunes to find most of your stuff.
    Now, a key thing to know is in the iPod, the album cover you see is pulled from track 1 of that music!  If the album art you see in iTunes is being pulled from a different track in the album, it will NOT appear in the iPod in your album list.  Databases are funny things, you have to know exactly what you're doing to work on them!  So, what you need to do is figure out where the album art you want for an album is at.  Use "get info", and find the album art you want for an album, and then right click and "copy" it.  Or, bring it up in Microsoft Paint, hit select all, and hit "copy."  Once you have that image, you want to make sure it is loaded for ALL tracks in that album in iTUnes.  As many have said, doing one track at a time, using "get info" is maddening and time consuming!  Fortunately, there are some shortcuts! 
    Once you have the album cover copied, there are several methods that work to get it on the entire album, all tracks.  One is, to type in the search bar on iTunes until only the album you want to work on is showing on the screen. Then you can use "select all" to highlight all the tracks in the album at the same time.  I had a few instances where this method alone would not bring up just the one album, so select all will not help in that case.  But fortunately, you can go through all the tracks on the album you want to work on, holding the "control" button down on the keyboard while you click multiple tracks.  This allows you to select manually more than one track.  Now, right click on all the highlighted tracks and hit "get info."  In the box that comes up, go to where the album cover is and right click and select "paste."  NOTE: You will see the check box next to the album cover come on with a check, but you will NOT see the album cover you just pasted until after you apply this.  When you hit apply, you will get a message that says "do you want to edit multiple items at once?"  Say yes.  It will then load the right album cover for all the tracks in the album, and fix a LOT of problems you're having.
    Another thing you may have to do for some or all of your albums is on the same right click menu that "get info" is in, there's another one "view in windows explorer."  You may have to select all the tracks using select all, hit properties, and make sure the files are NOT set to "read only."  That causes a lot of problems too.  It's also possible to right click on your music folder, and make sure all files and folders are not set to read only, but all at the same time.
    So, it would be SO great if Apple would be better at getting this type of information out in a clear an complete fashion, but that does not seem to happen.
    And, always back up your iTunes!

  • Disappearing Album Art Work.

    On my Ipod before today (10th December 2008) my album art work was all fine. Every song that I wanted art of was there, Album art relied on an Album name and Album Artist. But now on my Ipod when I go through albums some album art work doesn't show (It shows black) even thoguh it shows on Itunes. When I look up Itunes Store for albums some albums do not exist anymore that existed beforehand. Why is this so and has the system changed since then?

    i think this may be a screen resolution issue, what if you change screen resolutions, buy lingeriedoes this change things. OR do you have any itunes that worked also before, it will be nice to see more, maybe steroidssome picture or similar, to understand more properly what to say

  • Itunes hangs after  just listening to music with Album Art work turned on.

    I have been having issues with iTunes hanging and I have to open up task manager and kill the process. It doesn't Hang my system, only iTunes. I have noticed that the itune's process is taking up about 1.4 GB of memory and that each time it hangs it is around that amount. I have almost 38,000 Songs in my iTunes folder and I have album Art work for all of them. Is there some limitation on the amount of Art work? If I turn off the Art work it will run all day long with no problem.

    Not necessarily.  I was asking that cause iTunes match will upload album artwork for the first track of a CD and it wont display until after you play the track you want artwork to display for.  As far as it not displaying when being synced via iTunes, I am sorry but I don't have any idea.

  • Itunes match sync album art work problem and poor quality art work issue

    Hi There,
    I have two issues with apple itunes and itunes match:
    I seem to have a number of albums with poor quality artwork, now i have gone through the removed downloaded artwork and the right click and select the art work toggle box to remove the art work, after doing this I then ask to get the album cover from Itunes indervidually and high quality art work is down loaded and looks great for around 10-20 minutes then it seems to update slowley and revert to the old poor quality art work. Any Ideas? A simular thing that happens is that some art work that ive added manually is deleted. I have also gone into the itunes folder and deleted the album art work folder to force it to download new art work. Is there any way to lock in the art work that you know is good?
    Itunes match after making changes to itunes albums I have then updated itunes match and my work is undone? This maybe complaations or album coers any ideas.
    I am using itunes version 11.01
    I have looked through the forum and read meany feeds about album covers but I havent found one that is reverting covers.
    Many thanks guys

  • Getting correct album art work ?

    I am having difficulty with getting the correct album art work.
    For example today i imported the Howling Bells album, whilst importing the art work i noticed itunes had the option of 3 different album covers - the incorrect one came up by a band with Howling in their title too.
    How do i correct this - as it has happend a couple of times - of their being different versions of the covers - or bringing up covers by different artists with similar names.
    Thanks for any information.

    I'm having this same problem... going back to what you said originally, that it gave you an option of 2 or more albums with the same name and you had to pick one. Mind you it gives you no real way of knowing which is correct or not. If you pick the wrong one then there's no way to get back to that first dialogue box and choose the other one.
    Importantly, that other one may very well be correct and save us all the time of manually looking on Amazon etc. for the artwork. Besides, often other artwork's aspect ratios (Amazon, et al) don't match the iTunes aspect so your ipod will have white bars and stuff. The only alternative for me besides looking at Amazon or whatever is to delete the album from iTunes and re-rip from CD, then choose the OTHER option for which album I think it is. Dumb.

  • I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

    WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

    I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
    So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.
