Banshee is missing 2/3 of my album covers

banshee is missing 2/3 of my album covers, even though most of them are available on the websites it claims to search. Any ideas?

Well the album names certainly show up correctly in banshee. But I guess it may have retrieved this information from the itunes library somehow, rather than metadata in the mp3s. (Most of my music collection was originally ripped from my own CDs with itunes, so I don't know whether that implies that it would not contain metadata.)
So, when people rip from their own CDs, is banshee typically able to find the cover art? Or does that really only work for songs that have been purchased electronically?

MUSIC/ALBUM COVERS

I have been having a problem with transferring my songs from my iTunes to my new iPhone 6+. I did what the Genius at the Apple Store advised me to do (uncheck the "sync all music"/sync, then recheck the "sync all music"/sync) Doing that sometimes I did not get to transfer but half of the songs. I finally got all of the music to transfer....but...I am missing about a half dozen album covers that were on my phone before. All of the music and album covers are on my iPad. I'm afraid to do a reset because I lost all of my iPhone contents when I tried it before....and had to restore my data from my backup. I don't know if this is a new problem with IOS8 or has to do with the hardware in the iPhone6+. Can anyone suggest a remedy?

Hi,
I just rebooted my iPhone and all of the albums now show up.

Missing Album Covers

2 Questions:
1. In my library on my computer, I have all of the album cover, but 1 (I manually put in most of them). But when I sync to my Ipod, I am missing 3 album covers.
...Does anyone know why?
2. One of my songs in my library wont let me manually add an album artwork to it.
...Does anyone know why?

They are part of the song file. They don't disappear
unless you delete the song file and add it back
without the artwork.
Right click - get info and click on the Artwork tab.
Is the artwork there?
No - Still Missing - I havent deleted any of the songs and then add then back. Just woke up this morning and many were missing.

Album covers missing or mixed up on iPhone/iPad after 4.3.5 update. Only purchased songs affected. What can I do to solve this issue?

Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

Missing track from new Bassnectar album

Track 2- No Way is missing from the new Bassnectar album. What gives?

If the track doesn't appear automatically once the album download is complete, look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the track there to be downloaded.
If not, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department through the form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (that is how you get support from the iTunes Store) and explain the problem to them.
Regards.

ITunes Album Covers Missing

I just completed the software update for iTunes 7.6.2 (9) and now all my album covers show an icon with a broken chain. When I click on album cover view iTunes crashes.
Any suggestions or fixes? Thanks

Hi,
I 've been having the same issue.
One thing I noticed was that it seemed to be like the missing albums were the ones purchased with a different Apple ID (mine but from a different country)... Then I realized that (as you said) it was rather arbitrary since the recently bought ones are either missing or just fine.
But most purchased with a diff ID are missing album covers.
I myself have 4 country IDs since I lived shortly in diff places.
I wish Apple was less constraining regarding this, but I guess it's got to be due to the music houses' rules and conditions...

Album Covers Missing

All my album covers show up in Itunes but when I do a backup/sync on my iphone I lose quite a few album covers...I can get them back by restoring to factory settings but the next time I do a back up it takes away the album covers again....any advice on how to get this to stop happening?

I also have album covers missing. I imported all my MP3 songs into itunes as well as downloading new songs from the iTunes shop. I have multiple albums from the same artist, eg The Deltones and some albums have missing artwork, eg Walk like a Man = OK, Tickled Pink = no artwork. Both were purchased as a CD. 3 Neil Diamond albums = no artwork.
Those albums with art work display OK.

Missing Album covers in iPhone/iPad (iTunes 11)... anyone?

I was hoping with the update to iTunes that this problem would have been solved- i was WRONG.
It's entirely disheartening that a problem that has existed for quite some time now continues, and not just with my iPhone 4 but also with my brand new iPad mini!
I'm noticing it seems completely arbitrary as to which album cover is missing- both ripped and bought albums are missing their artwork when I transfer over...a nd some retain the cover art (and yes they exist in iTunes- I'm pretty anal about keeping my music all sorted).
I've read the dozens of fixes that either work or don't work for any given person.
How can Apple allow such a glaring bug to continue?
Sigh...

Music album covers miss-match

I'm really bothered by the fact that my music album covers don't match the actual album. What can I do to fix it so they do match? Has anyone else had this problem?

That happens for some users:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Since iOS5 update, album covers missing

A couple days ago, I upgraded to Lion and also udated my iPhone4 and iPad to iOS5. Today, I synced the iPhone4, then made changes to app layout and applied changes. When iTunes was running to apply the changes, I saw a message under the sync status bar that said "updating album artwork." It appeared to be updating all of the artwork. I went back and added a few pdfs that I wanted to sync and applied those. I again saw the message "updating album artwork." So, I checked the phone and about 95% of my albums don't have any artwork.
I rebooted the phone and synced again. Same message and still almost no album covers.
I don't keep music on iPad so no other device to compare to. All album covers are in iTunes library.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on a fix other than a full restore?

Found a fix. Had to uncheck Music in iTunes to remove library from phone. Then rechecked Music to reload library. All album covers appeared.

Album covers won't display in Cover Flow mode.

I've just recently re-installed my Windows XP, re-installed iTunes, and re-installed all my music again from my back-up discs. My iTunes is working fine ie plays the music, searches, displays iTunes store etc. However, when I click on the Cover View icon when playing an album it states, 'iTunes unable to browse album covers on this computer'. The album covers show up in the list/album view but not in cover view. It didn't do this before. Maybe it's something simple I've missed - any ideas?

Cannot Browse Album Covers

Hello All, first time posting here....hope someone can help! I have upgraded two versions of Itunes for my PC, the and I still cannot browse album artwork. I can see artwork for my playlists and main library, but when I click the far right button, I guess it would be called the Cover Flow button, I get a message saying "Itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer."
I installed Itunes for my gf last night on her pc, and that feature works great, but not on mine. Am I missing something?
thanks,
Kelly

Thanks for the link, most helpful article! Looks like my video card is probably not updated, so looks like I'll have to update the drivers or may get a new video card, been wanting to get one anyways. I've downloaded a driver for my card from the SIS site, now it's in a zip file and I don't know how to open it! I'm running something called WinRar (i think)

Lost album covers from amazon and not itunes store?

lost some of my album covers since transfer of library to new computer. how do i get it back as some music was purchased through amazon and not itunes store?

If it's a relatively small number of songs, select the song or songs (with missing album artwork) in the iTunes music library listing. Right-click on the selected song(s) and select Get Album Artwork.
If you want iTunes to go through your entire music library, select Music under LIBRARY in the iTunes sidebar. From the menu bar, under the Advanced menu, select Get Album Artwork. Don't do it this way, if you have some albums where you added artwork that you selected yourself, because they may get replaced.
It does not matter if a song was purchased in the iTunes Store, ripped from CD, or purchased at Amazon (or elsewhere). If the song can be identified as a song in the iTunes Store database, it will get the artwork for it.
Some artwork may not be available. In that case you can add your selection. A good way to do it, if the songs came from Amazon, is to find the song or album at Amazon. On the web page for the song or album, click-hold-drag the image (of the album artwork) from the browser window to the iTunes window, and drop it where the album artwork normally appears. NOTE: You can do this for multiple songs at one time.

[N8] Lost all album covers when moving music colle...

Hi,
I recently bought an N8 with unlimited Ovi Music downloads and soon proceeded to download virtually the entire catalog avaliable. Ok, maybe not all, but I went crazy on discographies and stuff and soon my phone's mass memory was getting crowded by the songs. I have about 10Gb of music right now so I decided to buy a 32Gb MicroSD and make it the official storage for music. So I connected the N8 to the PC via USB, fired up Windows Explorer and moved everything inside the "Music" directory in mass storage (E to a Music directory I created in the SD (F. Moving the files took quite the while, but when it was over, I was terrified to realize all the album covers were gone and nowhere to be found. I even tried to move it back to mass storage but the artwork is still missing.
I really don't know what to do. Is there a hidden directory somewhere where artwork for albums downloaded via Ovi Store is kept? I sincerely hope so because I'm definitely not looking forward to resyncing 10Gb of music from PC to Phone, especially because some albums were downloaded directly from the phone so I'd probably have to get them again on the PC
I tried searching for an answer for this problem but the results are flooded by people trying to add album arts to mp3 files imported from iTunes or whatnot, which is not my case. Every album in my collection was either downloaded from Ovi Store (already associated with artwork) or ripped and associated to a cover image in Ovi Player itself, so the files are not even mp3, they're wma
Has anyone faced this problem? Is there a non-excruciatingly-boring way to work around it?
Thanks,
Rafael
