Can't share downloaded album art

I have a Powerbook G4 17" & Mac Mini Intel Core Solo on a LAN. I use the mini to play music and such in the den. When I connect to my Powerbook's shared music library the music plays fine, but the album art that iTunes downloads automatically doesn't appear in the display box. The new album art displays fine on my Powerbook and my iPod, and the album art I put in myself prior to iTunes 7 appears just fine. But iTunes' own art won't show up on the mini. Of course, it won't show up on Front Row either. How can I share iTunes' album art on my mini?

I've had no problem displaying artwork over a network before iTunes 7. Actually, iTunes 7 still displays album art from by network, but the artwork that iTunes downloads automatically doesn't show up. But the artwork that I've attached myself does transfer over the network.
I have the mac mini hooked up to an HD TV, so I love iTunes hi-res album art on it vs. the low-res stuff I can find on the internet. I'd just love to use iTunes built-in album art feature from now on instead of hunting for hi-res art on my own. Anybody have any luck displaying art downloaded from iTunes across a network?

Automatically download Album Art

Hi,
Is it possible to get iTunes to automatically download album art when a song is loaded and played?
I have my cd collection ripped but the album art doesn't come up for them.

You can set iTunes to download artwork from the iTunes Music Store. Go to iTunes>Preferences>General and enable "Automatically download missing album artwork". If the iTunes Store doesn't have the album you want the artwork for you can locate and add some yourself:
iTunes 7 for Mac - Adding artwork to songs and other items
iTunes: How to Add Artwork to Songs
If you have a look on the Apple downloads page you can find programs for the Mac that help locate and add album artwork. This is one I came across with a quick search of the site: Album Cover Finder 6.0
I have found this site is a useful resource for finding artwork to manually download: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio

Unable to download album art present in the iTunes music store

I'm having a rather odd issue after moving my iTunes music folder to a new partition. It manifests itself as the inability to download artwork for certain albums that are available for purchase in the iTunes store, even though a short time ago the same covers were easily downloadable.
I'm 90% sure that this isn't an issue with the file tags, as these seem to mirror those present on the music store.
Any solution would be welcomed.
I'm using iTunes version 7.3.2.6

Are you saying that you can download album art for some albums in the iTunes store but not others?
If there was some general problem with the way you have iTunes set up or your connection, I would have expected you to have a problem with all album art. My first thought is that a problem with the tags seems most likely. The artist name and album name must be exactly right, other fields don't seem to matter. Have you checked for things like extraineous spaces?
iTunes album art is stored in the Album Artwork folder which is in your iTunes folder.

How do I download album art??

The only album art I have on my IPOD is from albums I've purchased. How do I get it for albums I own and have downloaded? There is a space for "drag album art" but where do you drag it from??? Thanks.

You can have iTunes download album artwork.
On a PC you go to Edit > Preferences > Store > "Automatically download missing album artwork"
On a Mac you go to iTunes > Preferences > Store > "Automatically download missing album artwork"
Hope that helps!

ITunes' download album art work

recently, my iTunes started to ask me to go to the iTunes store to download album artworks. It does this in the form of an pop up menu every time I start iTunes and it is not proceeding forward the rest of the program unless I click OK or Cancel. I can't seem to find a way to turn this thing off.
I listen to music for the music, not a picture.
can anyone help?

ITunes won't do it, but there are a number of third-party programs out there that will. I use one called "iTunes Catalog" which will go out to Amazon or Google and download album art.

Downloaded album art not saved in mp3 file?

When I use iTunes to download missing album art, that art is not being saved in the MP3 file. I verified this behavior by checking that the file timestamp and size didn't change after the art was successfully downloaded and displayed within iTunes. As a second check, I also deleted the music from my library and re-added it, and the art work is missing again.
Only if I drag the jpg image to the blank artwork window does it seem to "stick".
Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, if you download album art through iTunes and then later manually add art to the tag, the downloaded version is replaced. I think it still remains in the folder on your computer, but it does get replaced in the native song file. What I'll do is download the artwork from iTunes, then copy it and paste it directly into the tag for a permanent "attachment" to the song.

TS1815 download album art not available thru itunes

How do you download album art not available in iTunes store.
I could copy and paste in the older version but not since the latest update
I'm using windows
Thanks Mark pianoman

I, too, relied on the name of the iTunes library being displayed on the top header bar of the iTunes window. I have 2 iTunes libraries that I go back and forth on all the time, and now I really have to look at the contents to figure out which library I'm in at any given moment. What a pain!! And what a stupid move to diminish functionality, Apple. You folks have been doing this more all the time lately -- taking away perfected functionality -- and either deleting it or changing it just for the sake of a new look. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!! Please!
A good example of that is the dim grey text in all too much Apple everything these days. Black is beautiful, please! And especially useful in reading!! And, apparently, enough people thought so, too, since I see black text is back in iTunes 11. It went grey, and you heard from enough people that that was something no one should have changed. Well, as the Gipper said: Here you go again! Bring back the Library Name. You've got plenty of room; you don't need to put it in another vertical space -- just put in in line with the other stuff you've got there. Put it left of the "Search Library." That would be fine. But, just do it!

Why does my ITunes now get stuck when it can't find the album art?

I've noticed since yesterday when I bought my new IPod Touch my ITunes on my computer gets stuck when it can't find the album art for some music I have. It gets to that album and won't do anything, won't let me skip it or anything ... Anyone else having similar issues and if so any workaround?

Hi joanhello,
I understand that you are seeing an issue with iTunes fetching information about CDs you are importing. Here is an article for you that explains how to troubleshoot this issue:

Oh, Is it? i can't never add album art in my mp3 files without------

Okay let's see i write again cuz my title was abscence some
of words though, ur, my problem? duh~! , this creature
problem is ,urm, in my case, I think NOW ITUNES programmed
cannot able to add any album title which things by
ITUNES Store and Even my computer storage, i've been
so many times tried put the other album of mp3 files.
It werent worked. Well, the purpose of preventing copying
from illegal sound files is till good. BUT The matter isnt
this. SO What should we have to do ,what if we creat
album art ourselves? then what? IT isnt illegal ,dont I?
We have right to free of adding a album art by ourselves
AM I RIGHT?
Im rewrriting my point below if my words are lame i guess.
-O Is it? I can't never add Album Art in my IPOD(fifth Ed.)
without registered in Itunes store?
If it isnt so, Tell me more specific techical solution!
I've been also stick around all the threads, hard to find
the correct answer what im struggling with....
Or Plz bring a new edition of 'Itunes' program to us as
light as possible.
Im stupid with still enjoying myself on IPOD even
the problem exists in my ahead
I blaming this because uncool things but loveya much!

As someone's investigation like below;
It is NOT working the way of adding an Album Art in your POD
On the contrary of this, When we use a mode of 'Sync' files
from my ITUNE's Library Lists than it worked outrageously
Yea, the other users have been faced with this
freaky yeuky things earlier than me. So the light bulb
is : We gotta waiting for Patching for ITUNE7.
ps : Sometimes, But the SYNC mode make my hands and
my body everything tired...
I hope someone might be helpful
pps : DO any better idea? Catch Me then
and Thx read my lame phrase....

Unknown Error (-609) when attempting to download album art

Help! I am attempting to download album art for all my MP3's that I ripped from EAC (and got the ID3 info from freedb). When I try to download the album art in iTunes, I get "Unknown Error occurred (-609)" for all my albums.
Why is the happening? Anyone have any clues? I'm on Vista 32 bit with latest version of itunes.

I was able to fix this problem
I used the diagnostic feature in the help menu, turned out itunes wasn't connecting to the internet.
I inputted some proxy settings given to me by my ISP and walah
fixed

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!

I can't find my Album Art.

I know how to add the proper Album Art to iTunes. But, I can not locate where Windows Media Player put the Artwork. Help!!!
To add the Artwork go to iTunes Music. Right click a song title. Click on Get Info. Click the Artwork tab. Click the Add button. And, go from there.

Hi, please try the following:
iTunes: Album art may not download properly:
Resolution
Check that iTunes has been configured to use this feature. You can enable this feature in iTunes Preferences:
Open iTunes Preferences
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Click Store.
Select the "Automatically download missing album artwork" checkbox.
Hope this helps

Missing tracks after downloading Album Art

I downloaded version 7 without a hitch several days ago and yesterday, I downloaded missing album art. Beautiful feature. Seemed to work on my 30G Video IPod perfectly. Unfortunately, later on, when I opened ITunes and tried to play a song on my computer, I got the error message: "The song "Whatever The Name of Song" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I clicked on "Yes", I was unable to located the song's file in any previous Library. Additionally, I noticed that this applied only to older (pre ITunes 6?)music files and that every other track is missing from these albums. This applies to music both purchased from Itunes and copied from CDs. Music I added relatively recently (Itunes 6?) seems to be safe. Basically, the track is listed in the current library but the file cannot be located. David Pogue's Blog has a suggestion to re-download V6 and delete V7 but I am afraid that this will make matters worse. I really need help here as this involves alot of music that I don't want to lose.

i don't know how to fix your problem directly, but if you're desperate, you can do what I do when Apple doesn't recognize an album of mine. I just go to amazon.com, look up the album, expand the picture, right click (or on a mac control click) and copy the photo then go to iTunes, then the album, right click on the song (or choose multiple by shift, and clicking the songs you want) go to "Get Info", then go to the artwork tab, and in the large white box, right click and paste.
its a longer process than just simply using retrieve album artwork, but if iTunes doesn't know the album, or you're having problems with their programs, this is a nice way around it.
hope this helps.

ITunes 11 downloaded album art disappeared from first song of many albums

In iTunes 11. the downloaded album artwork disappeared from the first song of many of my albums.
This just randomly happened; it wasn't after an upgrade or any other noticeable event.
The artwork is still associated with all the subsequent songs of the album, just not with the first one.
I do not want to embed the artwork into the music files.
Nor do I want to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" and redo "Get Album Artwork" for the affected albums, since some of the albums are no longer in the iTunes Store, so I won't be able to download their artwork anymore.
The best that I can think of is to:
1) remove the song that is missing the artwork from itunes without deleting the file from the hard drive
2) in iTunes, copy another song from the same album
3) delete the newly copied song from the hard drive without removing it from iTunes
4) in iTunes, "Get Info" on the newly copied song, which will tell me that it can't be found, and give me the option to "Locate" the file
5) "locate" the file by selecting from the hard drive the file for the song that was mising its artwork, and that was removed from iTunes in step 1
Unfortunately, this will remove the song's rating, play counts, etc., remove it from any playlists, and change the date added, etc.
Does anyone have a better solution?
Thanks.

Oh ok. I have just set it to automatically pull cover art but I might try doing each track as you suggested. I just assumed this would be automatic for every track not just the first one.
