Amazon Album Art Widget

I downloaded and was using effectively the Amazon Album Art Widget to install album art into my itunes "jukebox". Now the widget does not seem to function. I can still find the album art. However, when I click on the add to itunes icon - it does not. Should I uninstall/reinstall the widget or is there a trouble shooting series of steps to take? Thank you for your suggestions! GS

having the same problem... and yes, no contact info for the developer's website... it WAS an awesome widget for those files for which itunes didn't have the art work (which in my case was A LOT).
anyone know of another widget that does the same thing??

Amazon Album art widget no longer working.

Always have had great success with the Amazon Album art widget. Now nothing anytime I try to import album
art into iTunes. Running iTunes 10.5.3. Deleted widget I had on dashboard. Then downloaded again the widget,
still nothing. Just always get "no results found". Anyone else experiencing this?

Amazon Album Art Widget has had it with my ignorance

It's not responding, it's been a while since I use it. I relaunched it, nothing. I erased it, downloaded a new one, reinstalled it, nothing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Quick question re: Amazon Album Art widget

There's an option to "Save small images to iTunes".
Naturally, I am concerned about conserving disk space. Anybody know what this means?
Emailed the creators but, so far, no answer.
Killer widget, though!

You have a 250gb HD. Those images (large ones) might weigh in at 60k at the most. Do the math. There are much better ways of freeing up disk space (major understatement)

Bloated album art?

This probably isn't specific to the Classic, but it's the first time I've noticed it...
I just added album art to about 800 songs, mostly using the Amazon Album Art widget (covers are less than 1mb, embedded into the file). I then updated my 160GB Classic. It went from 77GB free to 72GB free. Is it just me, or does 5GB seem like an awful lot of space for 800 songs' worth of album art to use up? Even if the images were 1mb each (and they weren't), that's only 800mb. Where the heck does the other 4 gigs come from?

Album Art. How?

How do I download album art automatically? Not for my iTunes library, but straight onto my ipod device.
I know the "Automatically download missing artwork" option on Preferences. But that doesn't always work.
Is there a software or a widget that can help me out? I'm currently using the Amazon Album Art widget. It works great, but is there something that could work automatically without me having to type the artist name on dashboard? Because I have a lot of missing album art. There are softwares that can download the album art for whatever is currently playing on iTunes library. BUT I wanted to be used on the iPod device window NOT the music library.
What do I need?
Thank you in advance.

I still have not found a solution

Album Art Madness...What is the Method???

I frequently use the 'Get Album Artwork' feature. However, for some songs I am simply unable to tag the song properly in order to get the song to grab the information from iTunes. The album is on iTunes, I don't have a problem searching for it and finding it, but no matter what I do to my tag I can't seem to get the album art to download.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so have you figured out what exactly causes it?

Deron,
I also recommend Amazon album artwork widget. iTines is helpful,but as iLee said, the album info has to match exactly or there is no match.
Here is the location for the Amazon widget:

Python: Amazon API - fetch Album Art

Hi there,
I'm a total noob in Python (and programming generally) and I want to write a little script that fetches album-art from Amazon
I looked into the Boto documentation but I didn't found anything about images.
I'm sorry for being ignorant but I don't want to read the whole Amazon API documentation.
Could someone give me a starting point or a how-to (didn't find one)?
Or does someone know a different/easier API to fetch cover-art?

brisbin33 wrote a little bash script to get album art from albumart.org. You might be able to use that as a starting point. You can get it here.
Good luck!

Album art work dashboard widget for PC

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

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.

Can't add album art to some tracks

Using iTunes 7.4.2 (4)
I have some MP3 files that don't have album art. For some of the albums, I've been able to use iTunes to download the art. For others, I've had to manually copy/paste the art in the Artwork field under the Get Info menu item. But, there are some MP3s that I have that don't have album art and iTunes can't find them. I can go under Get Info and paste some art into the Artwork field (I see it in the field) but when I click OK, it doesn't save. I go back into the Get Info and there's nothing there.
How can I get album art for these tracks?
Also, I have a few tracks that have the Artwork tab under Get Info completely grayed out and I can't select it. How can I activate that feature for these tracks?
Thanks!

I am not sure how much use this will be, but for what its worth here is the way I add artwork. I don't drag and drop. I mainly use a widget Amazon Art, this alows you to access the Amazon websight and find the appropriate album cover then add it to the iTunes library, one of the operating options is selscted tracks, which involves you highlighting the album before you click on set as album artwork, which I find more relyable than currently playing track or album.
Slightly more reliable than the widget is to find art work and then copy it (If you use Amazon, its always worth clicking on show larger image of the album). Then select the entire album, in itunes and then use Command (Ctrl on a PC I suspect) and i. This allows you to paste in album art work for the entire album. It has never failed me in the past. One word of warning, be a little careful in editing double albums or various artist albums as it is easy to combine the two albums or make an entire album by a single artist.
Hope you find his of some help

Adding Album Art to iTunes Local Folder?

I have a setup on iTunes on my Dell Dimension Desktop Machine. Basically I have uploaded ALL my CD collection to HDD in WAV format to retain sound quality.
My problem is with getting all the Album Art to work.
About one third of my collection iTunes does not have the Album Art? so I have scanned it all manually and placed an Folder.jpg in each Album/Track Folder.
I appreciate that WAV music files don't have a means of adding extra data to them like MP3 files, therefore, iTunes saves its own downloaded Album Art in a folder called "Download", there is also another Folder called "Local" which is where your manually added Album Art should go?
These are stored as .itc files
However then I try to manually try to add my own album art to the album, by selecting all tracks, Get info, Add album art to the white square and pressing OK nothing happens?
In the Artwork display box it say in large text "Artwork Not Modifiable"? for some reason?
Any ideas??

Hi Andrew. As far as plug&play, I have not found anything. My best bet was to use a proper utility to grab album art on a go forward basis for all new tracks, and then for the old tracks that have the incorrect metadata, I slowly go through, open up a browser with amazon.com loaded, and then search for the albums/related art that I need. Once I find it I click on the album art in the main browser, which spawns a child window with just the jpeg of the album art in it, and then drag and drop it from that browser into the album art pane. Far from plug and play, but it gets the job done.

Elusive Album Art

Hello,
I recently made it a project to find and in some cases add my own album artwork for the entire list of music in my iTunes library (I have no life I know). In iTunes every track has a piece of album artwork to accompany it. On my iPod however there are about 20 albums whose artwork is just black. It isn't the grey music note that shows there is no album art downloaded but just a black square. I'm not sure why it is doing this because you can see the images perfectly fine in iTunes.
For Example: the song "Like a Stone" on the "Audioslave" album by Audioslave displays a black square on my ipod rather than the true album cover.
I am also finding that a few albums have the grey note as an image when in iTunes they have an actual picture. The albums with a grey note are weird because usually one or two of the songs on that album display the artwork when being played while the others do not and show the grey music note.
For Example: the album "Who's Next" by The Who.
Behind Blue Eyes - displays downloaded album art
Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again - displays grey music note
In the Coverflow view a grey note is displayed for the above album.
Any help would be excellent. Thanks.

*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.
*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 exisits 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/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg 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, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-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.

I dont always get my songs from itunes, how can i get the album art?

When I download a song on a place other than iTunes, the album art doesn't show. How can I get it to?

If you don't buy your music from itunes you can go to amazon.com and simply copy the artwork from their and paste it into itunes. Select the appropriate album or track within your itunes, right click and then select 'get info'then paste it into the artwork box on the right hand side!

Is there a way of getting album art on to itunes for CD's I already own?

If I buy an album from the music store, it gives me the artwork. However, if I'm just putting a CD onto Itunes, it will find all the track details but not the artwork. Not a big issue, but is there any way to get round this?

I use 'iTunes Art Importer' (Google it) - a nice little program that will search and import album art from Amazon automatically.
Just be aware that your MP3 file size will increase because the jpeg is embedded in it and the larger the jpeg, the larger the increase.
I think iTunes Art Importer selects suitably small thumbnails.
