Artwork messed up in Album view iPod app

Hi all,
Ever since about a week, the artwork for my music in Album view is completely messed up.
The pictures show up in all different sizes covering up other albums, which I cannot open anymore.
See the screenshot on the following link: http://t.co/RBT4sol / http://www.flickr.com/photos/atmasphere/5353621694/
Tried rebooting / restarting the iPod app / giving iPad a 'hard reset (home + power button)' but the issue is still persisting and gets really annoying.
Any advice on this?

This one's easy. Guns and Roses never had a great hit!

Album view iPod

The artwork I use for my iPod works fine, but what doesn't work is using the grid or Cover flow for my iPod when it's connected to iTunes.
Is this normal for the iPod classic 80 GB? If not, how can I fix this?

The Grid and Cover Flow views are only available for your iTunes library, you only have access to the list view of an iPod.

Lost Album in Album View

I have an album that I first synched with the iTouch that was titled Greatest Hits by Queen. I could see the album artwork no problem in album view. Then this last weekend I downloaded a couple of songs from the album Greatest Hits by Fleetwood Mac. Now the artwork for Queen is gone and the songs from the queen album are merged with the songs from the Fleetwood Mac album under the Fleetwood Mac artwork.
When I play the individual tracks the correct artwork for the song is displayed however.
It looks like when the album titles are the same name only the last album synched is displayed.
Question, do I need to rename the album and create a unique name in Get Info and if I do will I loose the artwork nextime I "Get Artwork" from iTunes or is this a bug in version 2.2.1 of the iPhone software? What the best way to resolve this issue?

is this an iphone or ipod touch.....
anyway, just go to the music section in itunes, find the song in question, right click, get info, artwork. Delete what is in there. Select advanced, get album artwork, and see if that fixes it. If not, just get an image file off the internet somewhere, preferrably a 300x300 image file or better. Save it in my pictures or either make a new file "albums", then go to the music section in itunes, find the song in question, right click, get info, artwork, add the image.

Sorting Music by Album in iPod on iPad

In the iPod app on iPad, really the only way I want to organise my music is by Album.
But I have several albums containing tracks by various artists, and instead of just showing 1 Album cover representing that Album, the iPod app shows an album cover for every song on the album...
Surely there is a way to sort Albums by Album alone, and not by Album+Artist combined?
For example, I have a mixer album that was originally on 3 CDs, and I would be happy for 3 entries to be displayed representing CD1, CD2, and CD3; And the mp3 tags are all correctly set for the albums to be displayed this way...
But iPod insists on showing me roughly 60 album entries instead of 3 - one for every single song.
This is really quite irritating.
I have worked out that I COULD change the mp3 tags to remove the artist information (and incorporate it into the song title), but this would be a time consuming corruption of correct tags to work around a bizarre behaviour of iPod.
Am I missing a setting in iPod, or in iTunes before syncing to the iPad?

Is it showing up OK in iTunes?
I have an album featuring various artists on my iPad and it shows up fine. I do find that these can be a bit of a problem though, as iTunes and iPods do have a tendency to try to split them up if everything is not just right.
Check what the album artist is set to in iTunes. I have found that a solution to this problem is to allocate a dummy album artist to all the tracks (I usually use "zzz" as this means the album will be easy to find at the bottom if you have sorted the albums by artist, but anything will do). Then, select all the tracks in the album and delete that album artist, so it is blank. Once this is done, the albums usually sit OK as compilations in my iTunes and iPod/iPad.
Not sure whether that makes sense, or if it will work for you, but it may be worth trying.

Artwork shows ok in itunes and ipod album view but not in ipod when song plays

Hi...
I've noticed somethig wierd with my ipod classic 160GB (v1.1.2).
I have an album with correct artwork. All songs have their artwork. iTunes shows this ok, when getting info song by song.
When I go to the album in ipod, I can see the artwork next to the album name.
When I actually play the album, the first song, the artwork appears ok.
From the second song on, artwork will not be displayed.
Any idea why this could be happening? I noticed this for several albums.
Regards,
Leo

Album Artwork doesn't show in my iPod

Hi everyone!
I've seen a lot of people have problems with photos... but what about Album Artwork??!!
I've got a lot of album artwork associated to my songs in iPod photo but only a few of them are shown and I don't know why... I've tried everything except formatting (and this solution is quite annoyin you know). Can anyone help me?
And... one thing more: does anybody know how to erase album artwork images of the songs in iPod or iTunes? if I can't solve the problem... I just wil erase every album artwork and re-attach the album artwork again, but this solution it's soo annoying (yes, again)...
Please, help me... thanks!

First, create a new folder on your pc - I created one in my MY MUSIC folder and named it Album Covers. Nest, open your iTunes Library and reduce its size on the screen. Then open up Internet Explorer and go to Amazon.com. Reduce the size of that screen so that you can view both your iTunes Library and the Amazon website.
Once in Amazon, go to the music tab and then type in the name of the cd's in your iTunes library. When the cd cover comes up in Amazon, doubleclick it to view it in its own window, then right click the image and save it as the name of the cd in the album covers folder that you created. Once you have saved all of the album covers, close the internet explorer window and open the Album cover folder. Again, minimize its size so that you can see both your iTunes Library and the Album Covers folder.
Next, highlight all the songs in your iTunes library that correspond to a particular cd and then click and drag the album cover from the Album Covers folder to the album art box on the lower left corner of your iTunes Source window. The album art should appear in that box and it will appear on your iPod as well. Make sure to highlight all of the songs from each respective cd so that you don't have to click and drag the album cover for every song -- this will speed up the process tremendously.
Good luck!

All the artwork in Album View in iTunes is fuzzy/blurry unless i repeatedly delete the cache.

I recently bought a new laptop and transferred all my itunes tracks onto the new one from an external. Everything is fine, but in album list all the thumbnails are fuzzy and blurry. They album covers show up sharp in every other view such as coverflow, preview pane and grid view as well as on the ipod, but are fuzzy in album view. Some one suggested deleting the artwork cache to allow iTunes to rebuild it.I deleted it and reopened iTunes and found that this worked perfectly and all my artwork became sharp again. But if I close iTunes and reopen it, all the artwork wgoes back to being fuzzy and stays that way until I deleted the cache again. It only fixes it as long as I dont close out iTunes. How can I make them sharp again permanently like on my old laptop? (All my artwork is manually added and does not come from iTunes)

Responding to your request here.
I can't say it's a problem I've noticed personally, though now you've made me look it does seem that the large thumbnail is slightly fuzzier than the same image in the artwork panel. I have the artwork panel as small as it goes (small screen) and it is still slightly larger than the image in the browser so that might be all there is to it.
Here's an example from my screen.
Perhaps iTunes is storing a thumbnail at say "medium" size which it then blows up to create the large image. Are you seeing a similar effect or is your "fuzzy" art much fuzzier? A screenshot would be helpful.

Missing Album Artworks in Album view in Music iOS

Apple updated Music App in iOS 6.
New interface Design but a new bug appear some album artworks are missing when we go in the Album list view.
But when you select an album, the artworks appear well and also appear in Cover Flow.
The album artworks are missing in Album list view only.
The problem seems to come from the option : Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes
I just tried with the bit rate 192 kbps : some album artworks are missing in the Album view list
So if you want, you can test with the other bit rate and post if you have the some problem.
I uncheked the option Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes, I resent my music to my iOS device.
Now all album artworks appear well in the Album list view.
In hoping this can help anyone.

Hey,
You should definitely submit this bug as feedback to the iTunes team.

No Album Artwork in "Album View"

I recently upgraded to the iPhone OS 3.1 for the iPod Touch...
and now when I'm in "Album View", seemingly random album artwork appears white, as though there is literally no image. (there is no default music symbol, its just blank)
(this does not occur when playing the albums, or in cover flow, the artwork is there)
I have done everything I can think of, short of wiping the device and starting all over again.
Please Help ? ?

Hi,
This is just a suggestion, and since I don't have the 3.1 OS update, it may not help.
If you have albums on your iPod that had no artwork appied to them when you added the files (i.e. you added the artwork to the iTunes files after you copied the files to the iPod) - then I'd suggest deleting the problem files from the iPod and re-adding them.
My experience that itunes won't normally update artwork, and other information of files on the iPod during a sync. - You have to re-add the files to get the desired effect.
I hope that information is useful.
Kind regards,
Peter.

Art shows in itunes cover flow & album view but not on ipod

I spent several hours downloading cover art to itunes for albums where the art couldn't be automatically retrieved by itunes. I'd browse through album view, and for every album that had no art, I'd (a) select the album by clicking on the default music-note image and thus activate the drag-and-drop target in the lower left, and (b) drag some art from a website. When I was done with this, all the albums for which I downloaded art would properly show art in the itunes cover flow and in album view mode.
For the iPod (a 160GB Classic), I deselected "display album art on your ipod", hit "apply" to have it delete the art, then reselected and applied again, and itunes went through the process of formating and downloading the art to the ipod.
Now, however, the iPod still only shows the artwork that had been automatically retrieved; all the art I had added manually won't show. Back in itunes, I notice that it looks like my process for downloading the art only resulted in the art being applied to one song per album, as far as I can tell randomly selected. If, in album view, I select each song individually, the art will show in the lower left corner (and in "get info") only for one of the songs; on one album it might be track 1 while on another it might be track 7. However this is enough for itunes to show the art for the whole album, and also to show the art in cover flow.
Is there any automatic way to synchronize the art over a whole album, or at least to get it to download to the ipod so that it shows in cover flow and album view on the device as well as on the computer? I had to download art for about 190 albums; it would be a real drag to have to do that again.

Ok, here is the method I used. Another member gave this to me. It has worked for my iTunes library, and hopefully my ipod on the next sync.
I opened iTunes and Safari, with Safari on Amazon.com (to get the art). I would play any song from an album and command-click the each song in the album. Once each song is highlighted, I hit command-I to change info. I then dragged the art from Safari to the small box on the right of the smaller info change screen. This resulted in every song highlighted displaying the same artwork.
I hope this helps.

Last ipod touch update messed up my album covers

The last Ipod touch update has messed up my album covers of songs I transfered from CD. a long time ago after purchasing my ipod I learnt how I could change the artwork from a boring musical note to the respected album covers the songs came from and this method no longer works.
Although I should share that method which was to basically click on the first song on the album (for example "Come Together" on Abbey Road) and then hold ctrl and hit the last song on the album (in Abbey Road case it is "Her Majesty") thus highlighting the all the songs on the album and then changing the artwork there. As stated this method no longer works, I've tryed about 3 times and although it fixed a few songs (about 6 out of the 150ish that were altered back to default after the update).
Is there anyway to change it because I have a mild OCD that makes me want to see the artwork upon it changing songs as I use my ipod on a daily basis.
Other infomation that may assist in answers:
-The album artwork does indeed show on the album list screen, just not on most songs upon playing them
-All the songs that the album artwork altered during the update were purchased by other means to Itunes and then transfered to itunes. (CDs in this particular case)
-There all albums apart of the Beatles Box Set that I was luckily gifted at christmas.
-The Ipod touch, I believe its the latest one, it has the two cameras on it, not sure I don't follow up with the "improved" versions of Apple products
-My itunes is running on a PC (masterrace) not Mac.
Thank you if you answered responsibily, and if you responded like a tool then I dislike you.

Why is Remote app album view different than iTunes?

I use the Remote app on my iPad to control the streaming of my PC's iTunes music library to my stereo. I like the Album view because I can see most of the album covers. In iTunes 11.1 on my PC, album view displays the albums alphabetically by artist. i.e. all Beatles albums are listed before any Rolling Stones albums. But when viewing the same library on my iPad using the Remote app, the albums are listed alphabetically by album title, not by artist. So each artist's albums are scattered all over. I don't know about you, but when I'm looking for an album to play, I think about artists, not titles of albums. But there doesn't seem to be any way to change the way the Remote app orders albums. Am I missing something? Is there any way to configure the Remote app to display albums in artist order?

Hi go the first page of the Remote, the one which shows your shared libraries.
Click Settings, and then Sort by Artist tab,
Hope that helps!

How can I manually transfer album artwork from my library to my iPod

I downloaded album artwork to the songs in my library, and now I want to get the artwork onto the songs on my iPod classic. Problem is, I manually manage the songs on my ipod, instead of auto-syncing.... so when I hit the "sync" button in the latest version of iTunes (11.1.1.11), nothing happens. There also isn't a "show album artwork on iPod" button anymore. I'm afraid to change my settings from manual to automatic syncing, because I have lots of playlists on my iPod that aren't in my library, and I don't know if these playlists will be removed during the auto-sync. So how can I manually get the album artwork onto my iPod?
Thanks,
Rob

You can only backup iOS devices.
Sadly the old trick of removing all artwork and then adding it all back again no longer works. You may get some joy if you removed the specific album, then add it back again, butgenerally once things go wrong with artwork on a classic the only option is to restore it. Not a problem if all the media is in your library and you sync with a small number of selected playlists. If you don't have all the media see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

Why my tracks are not shown in Album view and Artist view, only Album Artworks are shown???

Dear,
I have not have this problem in the previous version of iTune. As soon as i upgraded it to iTunes 11, it happens.
The problem in here is all my songs, tracks are still here, i can see all of them in "songs view". However, when i change the view to Album View, and click into the Album artwork, there is no track there. When i double click into the Album Artwork, the first song of the album will be played normally.
Same story to the Artist View. Only the Album Artworks are shown and the rest is completely blank.
I have absolutely no idea what is going on here and obviously i am not satisfy with this new version.
Is there any way for me to fix this problem? Please help!
Otherwise i will need to use other software for music playing.
Regard,
