Artwork for playlists (iTunes 10)

Am I missing something ?
iTunes 10 has a new button to show a list window, with artwork. If I select my whole music library, this works (but only after going Menu, View, Always Show Artwork).
But if I select a playlist and click it, I get a list with the album name, but NO artwork in the left column.
Do I really have to select each of my (several hundred) playlists in turn and then click the view-with-artwork button and then go to Menu,View, Always Show Artwork ?
If so, why is there no global Preference addressing view options of this sort ?

ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all. the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit. If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it. I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match. But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

What is appropriate artwork for the ITunes Store?

Apple told me that they won't display my artwork as it is copyright.
I tried to explain that all imagery used has consent from the owners. thru email or they are friends. they did not respond to this claim. lol...
So my question is. what is appropriate cover art? (i have searched the faq and read it)
you can search me up on podomatic under "House flavours global podcast" as i am not allowed to post links.
any help would be appreciated..
thanks

The image is technically OK. If Apple think your image is breaching copyright then all you can do is either convince them that it isn't - as you have found they are not helpful - or find another image. Any image which isn't breaching copyright or isn't obscene should be OK.

Music.app duplicates artwork for playlists folders

Hello, I hope you will be able to help me!
So I've recently upgraded to iOS7.0.3 and after syncing my music I got this issue:
The funny thing is (and is more annoying, than funny, to be honest) that there's only one song which is the source of that cloned artwork which is in Lo-Fi/Indie/Garage folder. Also I don't know why Post-Hardcore folder was left untouched. Other songs in other folders have artworks.
Do you have any ideas of how I might get it fixed? (I tried removing all music from my iPhone and syncing it back again, but the result was the same)

Update: if I remove that track, there's going to be another artwork which will be cloned. Tried that with multiple artists. All the same. I guess, that's a bug.

Why does iTunes spend ages processing album artwork for no apparent reason?

I have a 65,000+ files on assorted drives. I tag in another ap, so I don't use iTunes to get artwork. However, everytime I add files to my playlist it insists on "processing album artwork" for every file, even if there isn't any, or if the files are being re-added after being moved to a different drive. What is iTunes up to, & is there any way of disabling it?
On a related note, it would be really useful if iTunes could be set to search certain folders for altered, moved or deleted files & update the library automatically. Any chance this could be introduced in a future version?

No, it isn't! Maybe I should check it, then restart iTunes, uncheck it again & restart iTunes again. Might be worth a try.

ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums. Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes. Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.

ITunes Get Artwork: "Artwork for [album name] cannot be found. You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album. But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes. So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened. No problems. Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork. It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located. You do not have permission to access the requested resource." I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that). Then I did what I described above.
The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer. The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it? Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store? Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer? Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?

Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it). And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
"Artwork for [album name] could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

How do I get the Itunes Music Library to stop showing and asking me to purchase the songs I have drug in for playlist?

How do I get the Itunes Music Library to stop showing and asking me to purchase the songs I have drug in for playlist?

If I make a playlist of my favorite Sax players by dragging there songs from their homepage into my playlist not purchasing them. Those songs appear along side my regular songs in my overall music library with option to buy them. The only way to get rid of them in my Music library seems to be to delete the playlist.

ITunes does not show album artwork for FLAC files

I add FLAC music files to iTunes via Fluke which works perfectly.
Then I add the album artworks to the albums as usual (select all songs/right click/get info/info/then drag and drop a previously downloaded .jpg file). The artwork is visible in the Artwork column, in the Cover Flow but not in the right click/get info/info/artwork.
Which would not be a problem itself, but I use a Logitech Squeezebox Duet and on the controller there is no artwork for albums with FLAC files.
It is only with FLACs, MP3s work fine.
Any idea, what is it all about?
Thanks!

I knew that.
That was really my question how to solve it if there is a workaround.

Creating Artwork for ITunes Albums

I have a lot of original music on my iPod and have made "Album Artwork" for a lot of them, but what is the optimal size for the graphics?
If I try to make it smaller for the window at the bottom of iTunes, then it gets grainy and distorted when it's expanded for the "shelf" artwork.
If I make it large to match the size of the "shelf" graphic, then it's distorted when it displays at the smaller size elsewhere.
What's the best size to create the graphics, and is 72 dpi the proper resoltuon for best results at both sizes?
Thanks!

Cannot Download Album Artwork for Albums I Know Exist on iTunes.

Hi.
Recently I decided to clear all of my album artwork. I selected all of my albums and right clicked on an album, selected "get info," checked the box next to "artwork," and clicked "ok."
With all of the albums already selected I successfully downloaded all of the art except for 20 albums.
For some reason I cannot download the album artwork for twenty albums I know are available on iTunes.
Any help would be much appreciated.
-Thanks

when you right mouse click on a song do you not see this?

When I "Get Album Artwork", iTunes always returns a result that artwork for one song could not be found; but the song is not in my library.

When I "Get Album Artwork" in iTunes 10.4.0.80 running under Windows 7, iTunes can find the missing artwork requested. But it also returns the same result, "Artwork for "Aught 7 - Mother Chorizo" could not be found. The problem is I do not have the song or any song from Aught 7 in my music library. I'm guessing this is an issue with a corrupted iTunes database. Can someone tell me how to correct this issue?
Thanks in advance.

1. delete this songs from your liblary
2. go File -> Add File to Liblary... (Ctrl+O) or File -> Add Folder to Liblary

Itunes continually trying to downlaod album artwork for same 2184 tracks

I have around 11,000 tracks in my Itunes library. Whenever I add more tracks, as soon as Itunes has processed the new songs, it trys to quote "process album artwork" for the same 2184 tracks each and every time. All the tracks have album artwork, so I'm at at loss to explain why Itunes keeps referencing the same songs every time. It makes no difference whether the option to Automatically Dowload Album Artwork" is enabled or not from the EDIT>Preferences menu. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem and it looks like a lot of others are also.
Does Apple support this product?

Getting Album Artwork for songs NOT in iTunes and ONLY on iPod

Hello
Am I missing something obvious here? I am struggling with the album artwork feature for use in the coverflow section of the iPod Classic 80GB. I do NOT keep all of my songs in iTunes as my laptop hard drive is just not big enough.
My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work. Only trawling through countless forums on various websites I've discovered that possibly the artwork is only updated for songs you have in the iTunes library or only for songs bought on iTunes. I have 1000s of CDs I've uploaded onto my iPod (surely lots of people do not keep their music in iTunes for the same reason as me - small hard drive?)
There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out? Or if not, somebody should come up with a fix on an independent website. By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.
Thanks

My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work.
Correct. It's meant to access your iTunes library and add artwork from the iTunes store.
There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out?
Nothing that I know of because it's meant to work this way.
By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
No, because as I say, it's meant to add artwork in the iTunes library (although even this can sometimes be an issue if the album info obtained from Gracenote doesn't match what's in the iTunes store.)
If an iPod is set to manage the songs manually, then it's possible to add the artwork to the songs directly onto the iPod (when looking at them through iTunes) without adding it to the songs in iTunes. Just copy paste an album image from (say) Amazon into the artwork box in the bottom left corner when looking at the songs on your iPod through iTunes.
However, I have found that if you are adding artwork directly to the iPod via iTunes and not to songs in the library first of all, then some (or all) artwork may not display correctly.
