CD to iPod album artwork?

Hi - this is my first time posting. I have a 5G iPod - the 30GB one. I have downloaded about 50 songs from iTunes and I like how it shows the album artwork on my iPod when I am playing it. I also downloaded a lot of music from CDs (like 1000 songs) when I first got the iPod a few months ago - but the album artwork for these does not display. I just tried (a few minutes ago while my iPod is charging attached to the computer) dragging them into that dotted line box in iTunes, but it didn't work. Is there anyway to get album artwork from CDs to display on your iPod - or does it just work for downloaded music from iTunes? Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you SO much - I will give that a shot - don't have time right now, but will try later tonight. I'll let you know how it goes! Thank you! I have my iPod set to manually download changes (since my husband puts some things in our Library that I don't want on my iPod) - will I have to manually re-download all the songs (after adding the album artwork in the Library) onto my iPod or will it automatically download that change? I don't want to end up with duplicated songs so I hesitate to redownload the songs, so I am hoping it will just update that change. Sorry for all the questions before I've even tried what you suggested - I really appreciate the help though!

  • In iTunes I can't see my iPod album artwork...

    I bought the new iPod nano two months ago, and it has always had this problem with my iTunes. I have selected the option for displaying album artwork in the bottom left corner, but even though I actually have album artwork assigned to songs (it is displayed on the actual iPod) it doesn't appear in iTunes. Does anyone know why this is or what I can do?

    In iTunes in the bottom left corner of the program there are four buttons - "Create a Playlist", "Turn shuffle on or off", "Play playlist once, repeat playlist or repeat item" and next to those three (the far right) is a little icon that resembles an arrowhead in a box. If you click on that the artwork viewer will pop up, and you can either set it up so that it shows only the artwork of the song you are listening to, or the artwork of the song highlighted.

  • IPod album artwork - scrambled; how to fix?

    The album artwork on my iPod is all scrambled up (but it is perfectly fine on my computer). Some albums have the artwork from another album, some have a black square, some have a white square, and some have four small albums patched together in one giant square. What gives? Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

    you could try restoring your ipod from itunes but make sure your music, apps, ect are backed up on the computer first

  • IPhone 4's iPod Album Artwork Mixed Up

    So, in my iTunes, all albums have the proper album artwork. It's always been like that. Now, with my iPhone 4 I've never had any issues until recently. After syncing all the music to my iPhone 4, everything seems alright at first. While scrolling through the albums, I see all the matching artwork, but when I play a song, the artwork changes to that of a different album. It happens with all music on my iPhone 4.
    So in other words, only while playing a song/album, the wrong artwork is showing. Not a huge deal whatsoever but it would be nice to have this fixed.
    Also, this doesn't happen all the time. It just happens whenever the phone feels like doing so.

    If it is the same albums doing it, you could try unsynching then resynching those albums. That has fixed the problem for me in the past. Admittedly it's a bit problematic if it is totally random.

  • IPod Album Artwork

    In the song info tab when I add artwork, it displays on the iPod and in iTunes, but it doesn't display in the artwork tab for me to delete it... Here's a screen shot:
    http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x209/linxsay/iPodIssue.jpg
    As you can see, the song is playing and the artwork is being displayed, but it's not showing in the info tab.
    It hasn't always done this and it is like this for every single song in iTunes. It doesn't matter if I put the artwork on there manually or automatically from the iTunes store.
    Any suggestions?

    click on the space where it should be and then press delete and see what happends

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

    Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

    Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
    Just a suggestion..

  • The album artwork on my iPod Classic is all mixed up. Wrong artwork on each song..

    Why does the album artwork on my iPod Classic get all mixed up wheres it is correct in the library. Please help

    Hello Derick,
    This usually happens as the result of a corrupt iPod artwork cache.  The only way to correct this is to restore your iPod to factory settings via iTunes.  Doing so will rebuild your iPod's artwork cache.  Not exactly sure as to how or why the corruption happened to begin with.

  • Help! The album artwork is not showing on my ipod!

    Hi!
    I bought a ipod nano 3 days ago and i'm really excited about it! But I tried everything to put an artwork for my songs. I went on iTunes and set the artwork by going into file - get info, and I added the image file in the artwork section. And I clicked on the "display album artwork on your iPod" in iPod options. I really don't know what else to do. Please help me~! =*(

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Check with this link to see if you've missed anything:

    Add Song Information, Lyrics, and Artwork to My Tunes
    The artwork should then just sync with your nano. If it still doesn't work have a look at The 5 Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall & Restore to see if the problem is with the nano not iTunes.

  • Can't sync album artwork to ipod touch and music is on many different computers that I can't always get to easily.

    Okay, so, I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. When I did that, I got everything back, but I'm missing a ton of album artwork and some of my music has the wrong artwork from completely different artists that I already had on my iPod. For example, I have some albums by the band Lacuna Coil. The album cover for the album Comalies is being shown as the album cover for my Marilyn Manson albums and my Combichrist albums. That's not the only album cover that's being repeated on different artists though. But also, a bunch of my album artwork just isn't there at all, period. It's gone. Now, before I got the iOS5 update, I would just hook my iPod up to iTunes, click on "Mollenstein's iPod" and click on "music" so I could just add the album artwork straight to the iPod because a lot of my music is not on the same computer, so it was just easier to do it that way. After this completely stupid iOS5 update, I can't do that. It will say it's syncing when I try to do it, but it will list off songs that it is updating that aren't even on the album I was trying to put the album artwork on. The album art for those songs didn't change, but neither did the one I was trying to change. About 2000+ of my songs are on my old PC that is a fossil and is slower than a fossil and it would take me hours and hours and hours and hours to fix the album artwork on it because it has an extremely old version of iTunes, so I can't hook my iPod directly to it (the fossil computer does not have access to the internet, so I can't update the iTunes). Therefore, I will have to get a flash drive, transfer music 2 gigs at a time to a different computer, fix the album covers, then sync to my iPod. I guess I can do that if I absolutely have to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do that or if I'm supposed to be able to sync album art directly to my iPod and the update is just making it completely ********. Please help, I'm frustrated, and I am too busy to have to mess with crap like this.I'm about to just go back to collecting CD's.
