Album cover, artist name

Does any guys have the same questions? after matched or uploaded and downloaded the new ones, all album cover all artist name remains the old ones, just changed to AAC format from my precendent 320kbs mp3. It's not the Genius musics at all. *****

I am not aware of any way to search by album cover.
If you know anything at all about the song, such as a few words of the lyrics, a web search may turn it up.
You can browse in the iTunes Store in the relevant genres and see if the same album cover appears.
Also, if you hear it again, use Shazam or other ID program on your smartphone to identify it by its audio content.

I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

My iPod used to show the album cover, artist,

My iPod used to show the album cover, artist, and song title. It now only shows the album cover. Does anyone know how to reset it so it shows all the information?

Is it possible to search for albums by artists name?

I am new to mac and have only had one and my ipod touch for a couple of weeks, so this may be a simple question or might not be possible. Is there a way of being able to search for albums, but to do it with the artists name rather than the albums name. This is because I have a lot of dj sets on my ipod which when I am looking through for a set to put on and not sure what to put on I either have to search in artist and in that list lots of the artists don't have albums or full sets they are just songs on compilations, so I have a lot of names in the list I don't wont. If I search for albums then It is the Compilation names which will put the same artist scattered all through the list. The only way I think I could do this is to rename all my albums with the pre-fix of the artists name, but would list all the albums and there may be 20 or so albums by the same artist so again a big lists. I hope I'm explaining myself enough so someone can understand what I'm trying to do, and can give me some ideas of what to do.

The only way I can think of doing it is to create a play list for each artist then a could search through the artists names in playlists.
Why not simply search thru the Artists list? Or the Album list?
Besides, if you created a playlist for an artist, it only shows the songs, not the albums for that artist.
Don't clog up & slow down iTunes and your iPod by unecessarily duplicating info.
Tap Artists and it will show you all the artists.
Tap a specific Artist and it will list the albums for that artist.

ITunes messed up album art, artist name, song

IOS 5 is confusing artwork on my iTunes library. For instance, I'll tap to play Eagles "One Of These Nights" and while it's the right song, I'll be looking at an unrelated album cover. This includes my audio books. Anyone have a fix? I'm sure Apple will fix this...
Thx!

Can you please describe in a little more detail?
Did you restore to factory settings on the iPhone? (settings-general-restore-restore all settings)? Then syncing again?
I see some suggest to disable music syncing (removing all music) the reenable music syncing. That will take long time!
I also see some suggest first disable "show album artwork on iPhone", syncing, reenable "show album artwork" and then syncing again.

ITunes 8.1 Cover Flow - Won't Display Full Album Titles/Artist Names

I don't understand why Apple would change Cover Flow to display less characters than before, but many, many artists/albums aren't showing complete titles, with an elipse marking where it gives up. There doesn't seem to be a universal character limit either, as, bizarrely, a few short titles like 'Come On Pilgrim' aren't showing either.
Does anybody else suffer from this problem? Is it fixable? If not, I think I'll be rolling back.

Just to add, when the album is selected on my ATV, all track names are shown so they're obviously in the system. It's only when they start playing that most of the time I just get 'Track 4' etc.

I was in Country Genre and after trying to update album names and artist iTunes changed A LOT of the albums and artist names in that genre to the same one! How Do I make everything go back to normal?

Take My Nashille Album, Which had the right Album name and right artitsts is now "American Ride" By Tobey Keith!!! And there are many more like that!

Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
As to your issues with compilations albums select all the tracks, set the Album Artist to Various Artists and on the options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. See Grouping tracks into albums for details.

ITunes 12: use 'Artist' name in "Artists view" rather than 'Album Artist'?

I.e. if I have an album with artist name X and album artist name Y it seems to sort by Y (the album artist name) in "Artists" view (i.e. the one with the pictures on the left)…is there a way to make it use the artist name (X) instead?
Say artist is "Johann Sebastian Bach", and album artist is "Sviatoslav Richter" (i.e. performer), I would rather it came in under "Johann Sebastian Bach" in the artists view, rather than "Sviatoslav Richter".
…the obvious solution is to switch X with Y, while laborious it does work, however, the problem is then when you have an album were a performer plays a bunch of different composers, this messes things up (breaks up the album in "Albums" and just makes a mess in general)…
In "Songs" view you can just switch between "Use Album Artists" and normal Artists…but in "Artists" view there appears to be no such setting and it seems Album Artist overrides Artist...

Songs dont appear under the artist name on the ipod....

When i put a song on itunes, it appears under the artist and the song name but when i look for it on my iPod under the artist name, it doesnt show up. Where is the song?

I went to that link but it doesnt seem to help. In itunes I have made sure that the song title, album and artist name are already in there with the correct spelling etc. In itunes all the info is there. When I look for the artist in my ipod it doesn't show up. I can find the album and the individual songs but the artist is not there.
Also...Songs in my itunes have all been organized and did the "get info" thing but some of the same artist appear several times on my ipod. I made sure everything is spelled correctly and the same for the same artist name, I have done resets and restore on the ipod, I deleted all the music out of itunes and then reinstalled it but I am still having the problem with certain artists...not all of them just randomly some. And it is continuing to happen with some new mp3s I am adding. What is going on with that???
Any help would be greatly appreciated...I have only had my ipod 3 weeks!!! If there is something wrong with it I want to return it and get a new one or is it user error?
Thanks to anyone that can help.

Playlist sorted by album or artist.

Hello
Is it possible to sort playlists by album or artist name?
Currently when I open a playlist in my Ipod it will sort all the numbers by name of the song. Some of my playlists have 200+ songs, and it becomes seriously annoying to find one specific song while there isn't even an artist name beside it.
It would be much more usefull if you open a playlist a subsection would appear in which you can choose the artist or album. Or at least sort the songs in the playlist by artist.
Again. is this possible?

Thanks for the info.
As a sub question. Is it also possible to show the artist name in the playlists on the Ipod itself? Or is the only option naming the songs by artist? Which I won't btw. that would take me a day or 2 :s

Album cover and song info while using visualizer

Does anybody know of a way to make the album cover, artist, song title, and album title remain on screen while the song is playing?

Im not for sure how to do that, but the viz itself is part of G force as stated in "About iTunes" in the help menu. They may have some info about doing this. Here is a link to the G Force web site http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/

Missing Artist name in CD import

When importing CDs to Library why do some Artist's names not appear in Browser artist pane, even though Album will apppear in album pane ?? This happens across my 3 computers including Vista OS on one computer ?

Is this artists on compilation albums? In iTunes, if an artist is only on a compilation album, that artist name will not appear in the artist browser pane. However, if you then add an album by that artist - so the artist has an album of their own in your iTunes, then the artist will appear in the browser and when you select the artist, the album browser column will have the compilation album with their tracks as well.
Oh, and if your answer was "no, this is the "greatest hits album" by an artist, the chances are it's marked as *part of a compilation,* which it shouldn't be (because iTunes then thinks it's various artists!). Check this by selecting just one track from the album and clicking *File/Get Info.* On the info tab, is *part of a compilation* ticked on? If so, you need to change the whole album. Thing is though, when you select all the tracks on that album the *part of a compilation* is now on the Options tab as a drop-down menu.

ITunes refuses to group one video with others with the same album and artist

This is absolutely ridiculous. They have the exact same album and artist name, yet my latest addition refuses to group with the others. I've tried so many things, yet it still won't group. Tried adding some random text to both the album and artist. Then tried removing the random text. Also tried completely removing all the text and manually typing them again. Still does the exact same thing. And believe me, there are no spaces or weird characters that differentiate them. They are exactly the same. The weird thing is, if I add the word "Nuke" before "Jizztage" in the title, it will then group. What the ****? I don't want the title of the video to be "Nuke Jizztage Volume 1." Just so frustrating for an app that has been around for donkey's years. And no, it's not a big deal. Just annoys me that I have to spend hours trying to figure out why this stupid piece of software won't do the simplest of things!

A Little further clarification.....
The computer will start..... makes noise - disk whirring. But screen does not illuminate and operating system does not boot.

Cover Flow & Album by Artist / Album by Year

I've been playing with V7 for a few hours now and Cover Flow seems pretty good.
I generally don't like to mess with the sort order of my 15,000 odd database: I like things to be: sorted by Artist, and within artist by album (either alphabetically or by year). Ideally with compilations at the end of the list.
I seem to be able to achieve this using using 'Album' heading - which toggles between album, album-by-artist and album-by-year.
My only 'problem' is that in the Cover Flow view, whilst the ordering is great and I can easily navigate sequentially using the cursor keys, typing a character on the keyboard jumps to the first album with that letter - not the first artist which is what I want.
Am I missing something (or perhaps just want too much without having to keep re-ordering things)?
Any ideas...?
iMac (power PC) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It doesn't seem like it sorts by field or any particular order. It more looks like it sorts by free text, the first match, whatever it is, comes first. That means you'll have to write letters until your lettercombination forms a word/name/album etc that can be found anywhere.

Album Cover/Title not showing in the List for an Artist with one album.

Hello all.
I have browsed a number of the posts, but nothing close to my particular problem.
I am new to iPod Classic (a couple of months). I like it! Used to be a Creative Zen Vision:M user.
Here is my issue.
I have most of the covers for my albums. Still looking for a few.
When I go to the Artist's menu and pick an artist, if it has more than one album, it shows 'All Songs' and a list of albums with covers, album name and number of songs on a separate screen. You click an album and it shows the tracks, you click a track and away you go. That works just fine.
However, when the Artist only has one album, it does not show the album cover, name and number of songs on a separate screen. It just shows the list of tracks. I would like it to be consistent. I would like to see the album cover/name before I click the tracks to start.
I have worked all my songs in iTunes. I'm pretty sure there is no difference between the one and multiple album artists.
Of course when you click a track to start, the album cover shows on the Now Playing screen.
Is there some sort of setting I might have missed.
Any thoughts on this? What might I try?
Thanks in Advance ...
Bob

Wow!
Is that really so?
I'm not questioning your answer. Just want to make sure before I say OK and let it be. I had heard that iTunes/iPod forces you to do things their way, this is an example, I guess!
Thanks for the input.
I guess I'll just have to leave it be!
Is iTunes the only way to deal with iPod? Are there any other programs?
Bob
