Album artwork display

When I hook up my 4gig Nano(2nd gen) to my car stereo the album artwork on the screen is poor quality. My friend's 120gig displays HD quality. What does his ipod have that mine doesn't?

Could be that your friend is adding artwork to his iPod at better quality resolution. I usually look for a minimum of around 300x300 if I'm searching Amazon or Google images, the ideal being 500x500 or 600x600 (I think 600x600 is what iTunes usually supplies).
Whatever resolution your friend is using, it won't be HD quality. The iPod isn't capable of displaying images at HD level.

  • IPod Classic album artwork gone in new iTunes display board as of 1 Dec 2012

    Now that I installed the new iTunes software and connect my iPod Classic the album artwork display in the bottom left corner has disappeared! There are other new features on this new iTunes layout that annoy me!
    Apple...please go back to your previous iTunes layout and get my album artwork back.
    My iPod is fine, there is nothing wrong with my iPod, just iTunes and their ridiculous change! I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail.
    And NO, I DO NOT use the apple iTunes store for anything, just use iTunes to connect to my iPod Classic, that's all, nothing further!
    So don't go trying to sell me something on the iTunes store! NOT INTERESTED!
    Why do you people tend to make things more difficult after I finally figured out your last iTunes layout?!
    Simple guy non-computer geek here, just your average all-American Joe!
    Can someone out there assist? Any way I can return to the previous version? This new version bites! Thanks much!

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • Wrong album artwork syncing to iPhone

    on my Mac and from what I've seen on my iPad as well the right album artwork displays but on my iPhone it seems to like mix up the artwork on some songs, some downloaded from iTunes, some ripped from a CD, like I might have a song from Adele but on the iPod and also on the lock screen it will show maybe the artwork of Jack Johnson! I mean its not a big deal but does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thank you

    It gives you the ability to use multiple computers to manually add your own music, i.e. music you have legitimately acquired, to your iPod. For example, I have 2 computers, I manually manage my music on my iPod Classic so I can hook it up to my MacBook Pro and put songs on that I don't have on my Mac Pro.
    I also has a car that will go much faster than the speed limit. Just because it gives me that ability does not allow me to drive 120 mph on a local street.

    Apparently a known issue, possibly itunes problem.

  • Album artworks in disorder

    Hi,
    I want to know why is it that when I put on itunes the album artwork to each song then it does not appear on ipod the way I put them? For example, when I listen to a Pink Floyd song, instead of having the correct album artwork displayed on screen, I have for example the artwork of a Metallica album on the pink floyd song (?!?!?!? why???) (only the artworks are wrong, all the other info concerning artist, song or name of the album is correct)
    Sometimes I update the artwork from itunes over and over again and then update the ipod, and things get slightly into order. But when I add new songs with more artworks everything is a mess again.
    So I want to know why and how can I solve this problem with album artworks.
    Thanks,
    Francisco

    Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
    When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
    This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
    Cheers,
    Patrick

  • Random album artwork - Error -50

    I only get random album artwork display on my 60 gig iPod. All the artwork displays in iTunes, but only random artwork displays on the iPod.
    I tried unchecking unchecking "Display album art" in iTunes, and the ejecting the iPod, and when ejecting I get the error.
    "An error occured while updating the default player for audio file types. You don't have enough access privlidges for this operation."
    I am the sole user and administrator on this PC.
    When I reconnect and recheck "Display album art", iTunes says "Optimizing artwork for iPod." Then is comes up with the error "The iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)"
    Very frustrating.

    I am having the exact same problem. I have a 30 GB iPod Video, and today I noticed how the album artwork is but randomly displayed on my iPod, though all my albums have their respective artwork, and the artwork shows up in iTunes just fine when going to "Get Info". However, on my iPod, only some artwork showed up, mostly for the albums I had purchased through iTunes.
    I thought I'd try to disable and re-enable album artwork in the iPod preferences, and the disabling did indeed work. However, the re-enabling did not - it attempts to update the iPod saying "Optimizing artwork for iPod", and it gets about half-way there until I get an error message saying, "The iPod 'Sandra's IP' cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)." So now I have no album artwork whatsoever.
    The iPod software is version 1.1.1 and iTunes version 6.0.5. Any suggestions?

  • How to get Podcast Album Artwork?

    Hello everyone!
    Most of the Podcasts I am subscribing to come without the Album Artworks displayed on the iTunes Store.
    Does anyone know how to get them, since the +[right click] > Get Album Artwork+ method doesn't work for Podcasts?
    Some of them cannot be found on the Internet...
    Thank you!

  • Freezing when downloading Album Artwork

    When i try to "Get album artwork" for CDs iTunes freezes. I have never had this problem before.

    Thanks for the reply, I will try that, although the artwork for this album has loaded on a previous session and has synced to my ipod with no problems. All the songs on the album play fine on both itunes and my ipod! Also, if I have itunes on grid view, with all the album artwork displayed, as soon as you scroll down and this album is displayed, the same system crash occurs, even though if you are in list view the album plays, no problems. Also, if it helps, the album was ripped from an official CD, not a copy or download. The artwork is even still on my ipod, even though I have deleted the image from itunes! Weird!

  • Ipad loses album artwork for purchases when syncing with iTunes?

    I have the latest software upto date for iTunes and my ipad.
    I usually purchase music directly from the iTunes app on my ipad as I find this a lot more convenient, however every so often I need to connect my ipad to my dell laptop to transfer non-iTunes songs.
    When I do so my ipad will always sync with my iTunes and when it does it comes up with a stage saying "copying album artwork", when this happens all my artwork from my most recent purchases on my ipad is deleted.
    The only way I have of rectifying the issue is to delete all the songs with missing album artwork and re-download them which is a lot of hassle.  I'd say the problem happens almost every time I connect my ipad to the laptop.
    Does anyone know why this is or if there's anyway I can turn of this part of the syncing process.  Or if I can just turn of the sync and back up all together, I much preferred it when all this was manual on old iPod classics and that.
    Thanks

    Hey, I was having this problem, too. The solution I've found is to go ahead and plug your iPad (this works with iPhones and iPod touches, too, I think) into your computer and check "Manually Manage Music and Videos." Then you want to click the "On this iPad" tab and scroll to the albums that are missing album artwork. Delete these manually and sync. Then you can uncheck "Manually Manage Music and Videos," check to sync music in the "Music" tab, and apply. After the sync your newest albums that you've downloaded directly on your iPad should be back in your library in the Music app with their album artwork displaying correctly.
    Not sure what causes this, but it seems to almost always happen to me when I use iTunes on my iPad or iPhone to buy things. Sometimes it also happens to items I've purchased from iTunes on my computer as well and that have automatically downloaded to my iOS devices.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod touch - album artwork

    I have an iPod touch (4th gen) and an iPhone 4. Both are running iOS 5.1. I recently added new songs (with album artwork) to both devices. The album artwork displays fine on my iPhone but not the iPod. I've tried closing the iPod app and then restarting the device (this usually works). However this did not solve the problem. This problem started happing after I updated the touch to 5.1. What can I do?

    Yeah. I deleted the songs in question and resynced them. Sadly, it did not work. I also tried deleting the artwork in iTunes and redownloading the artwork directly from Apple. Then I resynced them... did not work. I also deleted the songs from iTunes and reimportanted them, resynced them... did not work.

  • Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

    Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

    Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
    Just a suggestion..

  • Album artwork not displaying on iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2

    I recently took the plunge from Android and got myself an iPhone 5. One thing that's driving me nuts is album artwork in my music library. I have two problems
    not all albums will display artwork on the phone despite being present in iTunes and WMP/Media Monkey.
    when artwork is displayed on phone, when music is playing the wrong artwork is then displayed.
    I've tried different ways of synching, auto and manual. I have also tried replacing the artwork in 'Get Info' (time-consuming and tedious when artwork is already there). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Frustratingly, if I am successful one day, the next time I synch I am back to square one with no artwork.
    I wouldn't use iTunes if I didn't have to...I had none of these issues with Android/Creative.
    I am using a Windows 7 laptop, iPhone 5, IOS 6.0.2, iTunes for Windows 11.0.1.12. The issue has been present since day one getting this phone.
    Does anyone have any tips, ideas or similar experience of this issue?

    You could try activating it while connected to a different wifi network.  You could also see if your router has a firmware update available and changing your router's settings to use Google's public DNS to see if that helps (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).
