Scratchy Sound When Sliding Through Covers in Cover Flow View in iTunes 8

Anyone having problems with a scratchy sound as you slide through covers in the cover flow view in iTunes 8?
Also sliding too fast has caused app to crash.

The scratchy sound seems to have come up a few times with iTunes 8 (including in a couple of other threads that I can't find right now). It seems to have picked up around the last QT update, which was coincident with the iTunes upgrade.
(post updated)
I must admit, I didn't read closely at 7:30 in the morning, and didn't see this was just happening to OP with cover flow.
But there have been a number of people (including me) complaining of general scratchiness in iTunes 8 and AirTunes that seems traceable to the last QT update. Be glad you aren't in my situation, where it's ALWAYS scratchy.

Annoying bug: Duplicate albums in the Cover Flow view

When viewing my music via the Cover Flow view (sorting Album by Artist) I frequently come across an album that appears twice. For example, I see two copies of Florence and the Machine's "Lungs" side by side. The first copy contains the first track on the album and the second copy has the remainder of the album.
My first thought was "Oh, I must have mislabeled the album field of that first track so it's being saved as a different album... maybe I put in an extra space or something." But when I view the album in the Finder, all the tracks are in the same album folder. Just to be sure, I selected all the tracks on the album in iTunes and made sure the Album info field was correct, checked the checkbox, and clicked OK. Still nothing changes.
I was finally able to fix this by selecting all the tracks on the album in iTunes and changing the Album info field to a completely NEW name (in this example "Lungs TEMP", then selecting them all again and renaming them BACK to the CORRECT name (Lungs). Ta da... Yea. Now there's only one "Lungs" album in Cover Flow.
No big deal if I only had to do this once, but this bug exists all over the place! 11,000 songs is a lot to sort through. It's almost like iTunes is caching bad data somewhere, but I don't know how to delete this cache.
Ideas? Anyone else seen this behavior?

It happens... See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp for more.

Browsing the "Cover Flow" view

Hi There, Ihave the following message when I try to view the Cover Flow view:
"iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer"
This is strange because
a) All other graphics works just fine
b) The album covers appear in the smaller "Now Playing" window at the bottom right, and
c) The album covers also appear when I double click the "Now Playing" window for the full-size image.
Any help gratefully received. Thanks, all.

Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

Cover Flow view in iTunes 7

I really like the cover flow view but it seems the albums are keyed on Artist so if different tracks have different artists, they show up as multiple albums in the cover flow view. Is there any way to make it key on Album name instead?

Below the cover view is the track listing which has all the columns as usual - simply click the column title to sort by that field.
If the album has different artists then make sure the 'group compilations' option is ticked in preferences and then go into the info for the tracks and select 'part of a compilation'. iTunes will then group the tracks into a single album and display 'various artists' as the artist.
There is also now a field called 'album artist' which sets an artist for an entire album.

Cover flow view for iTunes 11

Is the cover flow view available for itunes 11? I am not able to find it.

That' really sad... Cover Flow was one good feature that I liked in iTunes. And so, I'm still sticking onto version 10.7

A diagonal line across every cover in the cover flow view

I have a black diagonal line across every cover when use the cover flow view. Even in the iTunes store, in the tv shows or music videos, in cover flow view, I still see a black diagonal line across the cover.
I reinstalled iTunes 7.0.2 a few times, but the problem still remains.
Verypong.

Had the same problem too. Also the problems of bottom text (which displays number or songs, amount of time etc.) displayed incorrectly with maximized windows; some part of iTunes 7 would turn black when I resized its internal columns/windows; and the annoying resource-eating habit that caused maximizing/restoring other windows slowing to a crawl.
So far, my solution is going back version 6.
Please fix the problems soon, Apple! I didn't have problems like this with Windows Media Plyaer 11 beta!

Import CD but cannot get the cover flow

When I import songs/music from CD but I cannot get the cover list, why?

*1)Do I need to pay if I download the cover list from itunes store?*
No there's no charge to download artwork from the store
*2)My ipod has different library from my itunes, how can I sync to my itunes library?*
Not sure what you are asking here. Do you want to copy the songs from iTunes back to your computer? If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

TuneJack Windows Only

iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
3)Can I copy the cover for the ipod library?
I don't understand what you are asking here. You can add the artwork to the songs in iTunes and copy sync them to the iPod if that's what you mean. If you are managing the iPod manually you can add the artwork directly to the song on the iPod, however the artwork doesn't always display when you do this. In that case you can delete the song from the iPod and re-add a copy from iTunes that has got the artowk on it.

Cover flow view in itunes

Hello I am a new iTunes user. I love the feature that allows you to view your music arranged under their album covers. But when I am viewing the covers in iTunes it creates multiple entries of the same album if there is an additional artist performing on the album. For example, the new Timbaland cd shockvalue shows a different cover picture for every song. So instead of just showing one album cover for all the songs from the same cd it shows Timbaland presents shockvalue featuring Timbaland and nelly furtado, then it has another one, with Timbaland presents shockvalue featuring Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. I have tried several viewing options with coverflow but have not found a configuration that doesn't break up a cd's songs into multiple entries if their are additional artists on the same album. Why would anyone want to see 15 coverflow pictures for the same CD? This makes viewing the coverflow option a really flawed feature.

Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

Is it possible to switch the cover flow view in finder?

By putting the picture scroll on bottom and the file list on top?

No, there is no preference setting available to change that.
Best.

Cover Flow View - NOT working

Hello,
I have a problem with the cover flow view on iTunes. I don't know when this when happened but it was there before I updated to iTunes 10.
This is how it looks:
http://www.kwisvragen.com/itunesproblem/coverflowitunes.tiff
It's only under Music, if I go to any of my playlist cover flow is working.
So, does anyone know what is going on and how can I make the cover flow work again?
THANKS!
Thanks!

For me this worked:
1) I exported my Library: File -> Library -> Export Library
Saved the .xml file on my desktop.
2) Closed iTunes.
3) I went to /Users/your user/Music/iTunes and deleted the following files:
iTunes Library
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Music Library.xml
4) Reopened iTunes.
File -> Library -> Import Playlist -> Navigated to my desktop and selected the .xml file from step 1.
5) Waited few minutes (Depends on the library size, I guess. Mine is huge.)

ITunes 7.0.1.8 locks up computer in Cover Flow view

I'm having a problem with iTunes locking up my computer when I click the right or left buttons in the cover flow view. I have updated all video and audio drivers, also DirectX but still am having the problem. I have also uninstalled and reinstlled iTunes with no luck.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

I had already loaded the latest drivers avalable from HP as well as the current BIOS Flash and the lastest from windows update.
I tried disabling the Direct X stuff as suggested in the http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303706 link you left but I am still having the computer lock-up when in cover flow view.
one further question... Does every one get a digaginal line from the upper right corner to the lower left corner of the artwork in shown in the cover flow? I think this may also be related to the problem I'm having.

ITunes 7.3.2: ArtWork does not match Images on Cover Flow View and iPod

Hello everyone, this is my first post, thanks in advance for any and all help.
I have loaded most of my music collection onto iTunes, and authorized it to get album artwork. It has only found about 60% of my cover art (I have a lot of international discs, etc.), and of what it does find maybe 60% is correct. So I have spent a lot of time adding artwork by either scanning in cover art or cutting and pasting from the web. I go to "Get Info" and check the artwork tab all the time to make sure that only artwork that is correct or that I have added is attached to each of my song files.
However, I have noticed that there is a significant amount of my song files that, when I use cover flow view, or when I play the songs on my video iPod, the artwork that is on the artwork pane and what appears on the cover flow view don't match. Or the artwork that is in the artwork pane (and the only artwork in the get info artwork section) and what shows up on my iPod, don't match up. It is, for an OCD completist like me, rather annoying.
As an example, I have a lot of compilation albums. I have probably 13 different albums by different artists but which all have the same name of "The Ultimate Collection". There are some tracks for each album where the artwork pane and the cover flow view artwork match, but not all of the tracks.
I selected "group compilations when browsing", but that doesn't help. I selected all the tracks from the same album and clicked yes to whether it is a compilation, and that didn't work.
Does anyone have a simple, QUICK solution for making the artwork I have put in the artwork pane override or force itself on the cover flow view? Horrible phrasing I know, but thank you in advance for your help!

I had the same problem when I updated to 7.3, but I was able to fix it.
As far as I can tell, itunes 7.3 sees all music files (in your user/itunes/music folder) with the extension .mpg as quicktime movies, not mp3's and itunes won't let you add a cover to them. The problem is that songs imported as mp3's by previous versions of iTunes were all given the extension .mpg and not .mp3 (at least on my machine). I was able to fix the problem by simply changing the .mpg to .mp3 for all of my songs. As soon as I did this, the album artwork showed up again.
You have a few options for how you change the extension. You can right click on every file in your itunes library and select "Show In Finder" to change the file extension, or if you have many songs to fix (I had 793) you can download 'A Better Finder Rename' (search for it at www.versiontracker.com, it costs $20 to change more than 10 files at a time) which will make the changes automatically. If you are cheap you can always set up an automator work-flow to get the job done.
Hope this helps
