Album Artwork Question

I have a CD with no artwork - so i have found the artwork on google. Problem is that i seem to have to drag the artwork onto every song in the album, and i can't select all the songs on the album and drag and artwork on so it covers all of them - or can i?
Cheers

Yes you can.
Select the first song so it is highlighted, press shift and select the last song. All of the songs in between should be highlighted.
Right click on one of the highlighted songs and select "get info"-select yes you want to edit multiple tracks.
In the popup window, drag the image to the artwork window and select apply.

Another "get album artwork" question

another "get album artwork" question
I notice that when I click "get album artwork" it seems to go through the whole library and look for cover jpegs. (in my case, that's going to take a long time!)
here's my question: it's looking for artwork, yes, but it's NOT going to do anyything to the many, many albums for which I have already (manually) added artwork, is it? If it does - I am in trouble! Please, somebody, reassure me that the artwork I have painstakingly added manually to zillions of albums is safe!

So, as another test, I uninstalled iTunes, then checked the hard drive again.
All the icons have now turned into Quicktime icons, which leads me to believe that when you look at your music in finder, it shows the icons related to your default music player.
So, my next step is to find a new default player, and maybe my album covers will show up again.

ITunes and Album Artwork question on Mac with two users

Hey everyone, I have what I hope is a pretty simple question. Right now, on my iMac, I have 2 user accounts, one for me and one for my wife. I wanted us to be able to share all of our music, so when I was setting up the computer, I put the iTunes Music Library in a /User/Shared/Music directory. Then, inside iTunes, for both users, I pointed to this new library. Everything here works great. When I add a song under 1 user, I just have to go to Add to Library under the other user and the songs are added. Works fine.
My main question is about the album artwork. I recently spent a lot of time under my user account going through and making sure I have all of the album artwork for every song we have in our library. I never thought about checking this on my wife's account, but when I did I realized that all of the stuff I added is not there. Anyway, I did some checking and found out that the album artwork is stored in each users Music directory. I did some reading on the web, and what I did was move my album artwork folder to the /Users/Shared/ directory, then created a symbolic link in my user directory to the shared folder. I did the same in my wife's account. I thought this would do the trick but it hasn't changed anything. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks so much for your time.

The artwork is stored in Music/iTunes/Artwork.
iTunes handles everything in that folder when iTunes adds it to the database.
This info is maintained in the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder.
iTunes will not do anything by copying or pointing to the artwork folder in your folder.
Unless you are both using the same iTunes library file, you will need to get your own artwork.
I put the iTunes Music Library
Do you mean the iTunes music folder?
Here's a way to do what you want.
Move your *iTunes folder* to the shared directory.
Open iTunes holding Option and select *Choose existing library*.
Select the iTunes library file in the Shared directory.
Everything should work fine.
Quit iTunes.
Move the *iTunes music folder* from /User/Shared/Music directory into the *iTunes folder* you moved into the Shared directory.
Start iTunes. Everything should work.
Quit iTunes.
Log into your wife's account.
Start iTunes holding the Option key, select *Choose existing library* and select the *iTunes library file* in the iTunes folder you moved into the Shared directory.
Everything should be there including all artwork.
Each user needs to quit iTunes before the other user can open it.
Shouldn't be a problem since you are using the same computer.

Album Artwork question - Remote folder

One for the gurus ... I noticed that a new folder had appeared in my iTunes library structure (Album Artwork\Remote). I'm assuming that this was created as the result of accessing and browsing a shared library (I was helping my daughter fix some issues with her library and connected via network sharing). Is this assumption correct, and can I therefore ignore/delete this folder with no impact in my own library?

I like one-word answers
Thanks!

Yet another album artwork question

Hi there everyone. I'm trying to add a few more songs to my 80GB iPod classic. I've taken the time to go through my 200+ albums and either use the "Add album artwork" option or search through Amazon.com for album photos, in the end, all of my songs has an image associated with it. Today I tried adding some mp3s from an album that was originally made of ogg files. After converting the files and adding the songs to iTunes, I noticed that 2 of the songs didn't have album art. I've tried everything, including the suggestion of *rebuilding the artwork cache* at least 3 times, to no avail. Is there anything else I can do? Or do I just have to wait till the next upgrade to iTunes is released and hope things work themselves out?
Thank you in advance for your time.

To clarify, do you mean that in iTunes the artwork is fine, but on the iPod it isn't there?
Have you tried REMOVING the tracks from the iPod then resyncing them back on?
Regards,
Patrick

"automatically download missing album artwork" Questions.....

I have added a lot of album and artists photos to my music. If I check the preference to let itunes fill in missing artwork will it write over art that is presently there?
If so I won't do it.

.John thanks for the response.. I'm a bit confused I know it wont workif I dont set the preference but my question is if it finds different artwork for songs that I have already put in will it replace those songs with its own artwork?

Itunes Album Artwork Question

Why does itunes sometimes display multiple album covers for one particular album?
It does not do this for all albums just some at random. These albums are not compilation albums either and have been performed by the same person.

I have noticed this on the Mac also. Especially noticeable when two tracks are next to each other in alpha order. This is a recent issue, as have not seen it until recently.
Perhaps is some confusion when iTunes looks for artwork and there are several versions of artwork at the search site.
Also had the problem of some older CD inputs not finding the cover art and having to go to Amazon to cut/paste their artwork and then manually putting into iTunes.

Another album artwork question

hey sorry guys, ok i got to pasteing this artwork in the things,and i accidently pasted the wrong artwork for a song,so i put the right one in, but it didnt replace it, it just put both of them there,but i dont want the wrong artwork on that song, and i cant figure out how to get that other artwork off of there..anyhelp, or is this the stupidest flaw itunes could have made

Did you try highlighting the file in your library, going under File, then Get Info, then Artwork? If both pictures are displayed side by side, highlight the one you don't want and click delete.

Uploading album art question? I have the artwork.

OK I have the album artwork I am trying to upload in a folder in "my pictures" on my fifth gen I pod. I can go to my library and upload the picture to each song on an album from my folder of album art but I'm unable to highlite and do the whole album in one shot , I have to click each individual song on the album and load the artwork.
My question is what am I missing in the whole process to load the artwork to the whole album on my i Pod without having to do it for each song on that album?
Thanks for the help I just figured there was some simple trick I was missing. I even tried the drag and drop method with no luck and I do have the artwork enabled and have all of the ones I did one at a time showing up.

In the search field in iTunes, type in the name of the album.
All the songs in the album should appear. Click one of them. Now go to edit-->select all.
All the songs in that album should be highlighted.
Right click one, making sure that all stay highlighted. Go to get info. Click yes to the message the appears.
On the right side of the window that appears is an area for album art. Right click the box and go to paste. The album art should now appear there. Check the box next to the artwork box. Click OK.
Those songs should now have that piece of artwork.

Album artwork...2 questions

Hi,
Question 1
i was able to browse album covers flow on itunes when it was first released. I recntly tried to do it and got the 'unable to browse album artwork on this computer' mesage.
I went through the 'how to fix it' on this board, by updating the drivers, geting the latest version of itunes, etc, but still nothing. PLEASE HELP,
Question 2
Can I browse the album cover flow (like a jukebox) of my ipod music on itunes? (my ipod is not insync with my comptuer)
Thank you for you help.
Edsel

i got these songs from my CD and transfered them to my Ipod before putting the album work with the song, the next day when i was free i put all the album art with the songs but when i play my songs the album art doesn't show up but when i open i-tunes it appears. anyway to fix this?
also this might sound stupid:
I have a ipod video- if i delete a song/file from my ipod will the space be restored on my ipod or will it still be considered "used space?"
thanks!

Album Artwork Folder Question

Hello.
I have iTunes set to have all of my music files on an external harddrive. I also use Backup to backup my iTunes settings to my Dot Mac account. I've noticed that I am routinely running out of space on my backup folder and decided to see what was going on. I discovered the "Album Artwork" folder on my local harddrive and realized that it was over 300 MB in size and that this was the problem.
I have searched through the forum and saw that people recommended using Doug's "Embed Artwork" AppleScript. Before I install the script I just wanted to find out if after running it the files in the "Album Artwork" folder will be deleted or if I will have to delete them manually after running the script.
Thanks.

You can use the script from Doug, but if you're tight on space, that won't help in your situation.
Instead of only one picture for an entire album, a picture will be embedded in every track of that album.
Every track with embedded artwork will increase in size, consuming a lot more space in total than a picture stored in the 'Album Artwork' folder.
Once the picture is embedded in all associated files, iTunes should remove the one in the 'Download' folder, but in my experience doesn't always do that.
You might also take a look inside the 'Album Artwork' folder.
The 'Download' folder contains the artwork downloaded from the 'iTunes Store'.
The 'Local' folder contains the pictures which are used for the 'Cover Flow' feature. These are duplicates of other pictures and stored there for quick access. This folder can be much larger in size than the 'Download' folder. and does not need a backup in my opinion.
If you delete the 'Download' folder, iTunes will create a new one on the next run and store pictures in it again when using 'Cover Flow'.
If you try this, you will notice that it behaves rather sluggish the first time (when you have a lot of embedded artwork), because it has to get all pictures from the music files. iTunes then stores a copy in the 'Local' folder for quick access.

Album Artwork on iPod question?

I know that you can import pictures to use as album artwork in iTunes, and I did that for all of the albums that didn't have album artwork pictures. However, when I did that, it would take the songs that I put pictures on there, right off of my iPod. If I took the imported pictures off of iTunes and left if blank, it would put the songs (and blank album artwork) back onto my iPod. Can someone help me?

Hmm when you import them
do you drag and drop? if so, that may be the problem.
try and save the picture and then import it and see if that works

Album Artwork - a few questions

I used the "Get Album Artwork" command for many of my albums (mostly ripped in MusicMatch and then imported into iTunes). This often works, adding the artwork to all the tracks with that one search.
When that fails to find the artwork, I try to find the artwork myself (Amazon, or other sites). But, it seems that I need to manually add the art to each track individually. Is there a more efficient way to do the manual add? About how much storage is required for the artwork for each track?
Sometimes, when I look at the Get Info summary screen, instead of the album art or blank box that says "No Artwork Available" there is a dot. Are these corrupt entries? Any way to fix this?
Lastly, after adding album artwork to iTunes, how do I get it over to the iPod. I don't auto-sync because I have far more music than space allows on the 8GB Nano. Would I need to delete the albums from the iPod and then re-transfer the albums from iTunes?

+Highlight all the songs in the album. Right-click, Get Info. Say yes at the prompt, and then the artwork that you add will apply to all of them.+
I get the prompt to browse to where the artwork is stored only when I right-click on a single track. I don't get that option when multiple tracks are selected.
+Before you paste it in, right-click the image and look at Properties. 10kB, 30kB, 70kB would be pretty typical values for those kind of JPEGs. They are small compared to the music file.+
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I know how to tell how large the image file is. what I'm asking is if I manually associate the artwork with 10 tracks, does the file take up 10x the amount of space or is it stored only once, with 10 pointers to that single art file.

ITunes keeps resetting and asking me if I want to download album artwork!

Hi, it seems as though every time I open iTunes these days the stupid window pops up asking if I want it to automatically download album artwork. I click "No, blah blah blah." And then iTunes opens. At the left is the "Download" option thing (in green under the "Store" section), when I click it, a window pops up saying "Would you like iTunes to check if you have any unfinished downloads?" or something like that. I say, again (and of course) "No."
The "Download" button subsequently goes away and that is all that happens. But it happens repeatedly, every time I open the program! Obviously these settings are not saving--and it seems to be even more of a fundamental problem than that, perhaps some file is corrupted somewhere.
Any thoughts?

Same here. And it doesn't seem to matter which way
you answer the question, it just keeps asking.
HOWEVER -- I had not seen this post before I restored 6:

If anyone could report if this solves the "won't remember the download art" setting, please let us know.

My album artwork does not match the song in my playlists

After making playlists with music purchased from itunes in my music app, the art work does not match the title of the song / album. How can I fix this problem?

Hi freezerman84,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Album Artwork on your iPhone 5. To troubleshoot this issue, it may be best to completely resync your iPhone with iTunes. To do so, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone:
