I don't use iTunes's "fetch artwork", so I'm not 100% sure, but unless you are signed in to your iTunes account, artwork is not automatic. Even then, iTunes doesn't always find it.
You can copy-and-paste artwork from the inernet, either Amazon or Google. I use 300x300 pixel images.
For the future, if you have iTunes questions, you might be better off posting them in the iTunes for Mac forum, this is iTunes for Windows. In this situation, it doesn't make any difference, but next time maybe it will.

When importing cds on i tunes its splits up albums problem solved

after weeks of importing my various artists cds to itunes it was driving me mad that it was splitting them up,so after a lot of trial and error i have now solved the problem.1st under edit on the top menu on the itunes main screen select prefrences then under the general tab where it says when you insert a cd select show cd and tick the other 2 boxes as well then click ok.now insert your cd that you want to import into i tunes then wait for the list to appear on your screen,but do not click import yet.Then on the top track of the cd list right click and select get info then on the other box that appears click info then put a tick in the box that says part of a compilation,then do this for the whole list of that cd.now you can click import and it will now import that cd all into 1 albumno more split albums.this will also work for albums by the same artist but with other singers on it.i have now imported all my various artist cds onto i tunes with no problems at all.i haope this helps you out

I can't import certain CDs into I tunes

Hello, I am having trouble importing Cd's into I tunes. I will put the CD in and it will only import the first 5 seconds of the first song and then it will stop and the computer no longer recognizes the CD drive. If I reboot my computer the drive comes back and works just fine. This only happens on certain CDs of mine, but not all of them. Most Cd's I own import just fine. This is not a matter of copyrighted CD's causing me trouble either because most of the Cd's I want to import were made way before anyone ever thought that they could make Cd's at home on their computer. These Cd's also work fine in other CD players (such as my car) but don't in my computer.
I ran the I tunes diagnostics for my CD drive and I came up with two errors which are as follows...
Audio CD reading failed. Error Code: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2.
To play or import music from a CD in this drive, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Get drive speed failed. Error Code: 2020.
I don't understand why I am getting the first code since I am logged on as an administrator. As for the second code I have no idea what that means. The latest version of Itunes is installed and I have looked for driver updates for my CD drive (SONY CD-RW CRX230EE, Rev 2YS3) but I cannot find any on the Sony support web site. Thank you in advance for your help,
Ryan

No, unfortunately I don't think we have the same issue. The CD's that I put into my drive that don't work are professionally made CD's from a major label, not burned CD's. The drive does everything it is supposed to do (such as burn CD's) but for these 5 or 6 certain CD's that I have it gets about 5 seconds into the first song and quits. The drive disappears from My Computer and I have to Reboot the computer. Once I have done that the drive reappears.
I do think that I might just have to break down and try to call Sony directly. I have a sneaking suspicion though that I will get lost in a endless maize of "Press 3 for help with your drive" "were sorry all of our representatives are busy now" "your estimated wait time is 5... hours" and so on and so forth. Thank you for the reply's,

Import multiple CDs into i tunes ?

I am new to i tunes and yesterday purchased a (2cd)album from i tunes all ok.
I am trying to import one of my own albums that also has 2 CDs. Can someone give advise as to how i get "all" tracks from the 2 CDs onto the one album.Hope i have explained this ok as at the moment when i put the 2 CDs in one after the other they create 2 albums.
Thanks
Dellboy22

I hope i am explaining this correctly but here goes.
I notice on the screen print that you provided along the top it shows top left as follows, artwork,name,disk,track,artist,album.
Mine shows-name,time,artist.genre.
When i open i-tunes and click on music i get my albums but "TWO" albums of the same, one with tracks 1-12 and the other with tracks 1-17.
I am still confused as to how i get to open "music" and just see the one album but with all the tracks of both CDs on it.
Thanks for your patience.

Problem importing particular CDs into I-Tunes

Hello all.... I regularly import CDs into my itunes and usually have no problems. However, when I try to import Biffy Clyro's "Puzzle" CD and Paramore's "Riot" CD it takes a couple of hours for them to import, when it usually takes only 5 mins or so. After they are imported, playback is scratchy and distorted. Does anyone have any ideas of why this is happening? They are not enhanced CDs and I see nothing on their packaging about copy protection. I update itunes whenever I'm asked to and this has been happening for months. Im using Windows 7. Thanks for any help

No, unfortunately I don't think we have the same issue. The CD's that I put into my drive that don't work are professionally made CD's from a major label, not burned CD's.

Please help - cannot import CDs into i-tunes

My other thread seems to have stalled out so I thought I would try again:
I have a Sony Vaio laptop and a HP I Pod.
Have used Itunes with no problems for 9 months and have imported/ripped hundreds of CDs into my library with no issues.
Recently, however, iTunes stopped allowing me to import/rip CDs into my library. When I try, it imports the first 4-5 seconds of the first song and then locks my entire computer up. I have to power down the laptop.
I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes several times.
I had my IT guy look at the laptop and do some preliminary research. He indicated that this is not uncommon and that others have reported having this problem since upgrading to iTunes 6.0.
Based on that, I un-installed 6.0 and went back to the version that came with the iPod. I think it is 4.9. Problem still exists.
Please help. I still have a lot of music I would like to load into iTunes.
Thanks!
Sony Vaio Windows XP

First search your lap for any malware or viruses. Then check for any firmware/software updates for your laptop by going to the companys web site.

Burning CDs from I-tunes

When I burn CDs from Itunes, and rip them to my other PC, the track names and other info dont transfer? How can I resolve this issue?

If you want track names to display when you're playing a cd, go to Preferences > Advanced > Burning > Check Include Cd Text. I don't believe these info will carry over if you created a MIX cd, however. If it's just a copy of a commercial cd and such, it may find it, however.

Downloading cds on i-tunes

I insert my cd into my computer drive. It asks if I want to add to my library. I hit yes. Once it is done added, I go to recently downloaded and the cd shows up in multiple albums. I have tried hitting the album button multiple times and all this does is change some songs into different albums but still shows up in multiple albums. I don't want to have one album show up as multiple albums on my ipod. Please help!

Select all of the parts (Command-click to select multiple items) and secondary-click on one of the items, and select Get Info. Enter the name of the album where it's obvious. Click OK.

That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

If not in the iTunes Store, iTunes uses the Graceland database for artwork and tag info.

Restoring i-tunes on new computer does not work

Dear All,
I had to re-install my computer according to Microsoft advice and at the same time I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Here is what I did with my music on itunes:
Before doing anything on the Vista System I followed the instructions given here for backing up itunes library on an external hard disk, i. e.
1. I asked i-tunes to move the music into one folder and
2. chose to organize the library.
After closing i-tunes I copied the folder i-tunes I copied the i-tunes folder to the external hard disk.
Then I installed Windows 7 after formatting the system's hard disk. In contrary to the prior system setup I partitioned the hard disk and moved the music folder like other folders of my account to the second partition to separate my data from system and programs. The move of the music folder was done by right-clicking and changing the "path" information to the new destination on harddisk d:.
Thereafter I downloaded and installed i-tunes again.
After installation I copied the i-tunes folder from the external hard drive into the i-tunes folder created by the new installation of i-tunes confirming that the folders should be integrated and any files be replaced by the files from the external hard disk.
Now starting i-tunes again, it looked like before stating 349 albums and 46 GB equals 14,+ days of music. BUT:
Whichever title I click i-tunes says: the title ... could not be used because the original could not be found. Do you want to search it now?
(Translation from German, English wording may slightly vary)
I cannot do this for 5000 titles, nor can I find them all because I don't really understand the structure of the i-tunes folders. I expected the folders to be like the CDs I imported, but they are somewhat different.
Some history to the music import: I started to import the CDs on i-tunes 7, continued on 8 and finally upgraded to 9. Under i-tunes version 9 the story above starts.
Some additional Info: The computer (hardware) is the same, it got 1GB memory more and it got another system name (pmn10 instead pmn08 before). Also I shortened my account name. - Just for info, it may or may not be of importance.
What do I have to do in order to make i-tunes work. It is impossible to get my music here as my complete CD collection is in Germany well stored while i am seconded to Abu Dhabi. Please help me to rescue my music!
Other question: can't I restore the music by simply synchronizing the I-pod to i-tunes? I mean: empty library on the computer, connecting Ipod and getting the stuff from there?
Additional problems:
1. The same applies to some media bought from the i-tunes store. it also is not found. In any case, this stuff I have backed up on a DVD according to the description given under support.
2. I forgot to deactivate the old system under i-tunes. What is to be done in order to delete the not any more existent system in i-tunes store records?
Looking forward to a problem solving enlightment I remain with
best regards from Abu Dhabi
Philippus
PS: What came afterwards to my mind what may be important to know:
Vista System was 32 bit, windows 7 now is 64 bit.

I have kind of like the same problem as you do. I don't have a solution to your problem, but I can answer one of your questions: it is not possible to restore the music in your library by emptying your library and then connecting your ipod. In fact, this will immediately delete all the music on your ipod as well if automatic synchronisation is on. So whatever you try, don't try that!
If there's someone who does have the answer to this question, I hope that he or she can answer this similar question as well:
I have always had two OS's installed on my computer, XP and Vista. At first I only used XP, so I had iTunes installed there. Now I've switched to Vista (and I won't be using XP for iTunes anymore) and installed iTunes there too. However, the drive letters in Vista are different than they were in XP. For different reasons it's not really practical for me to change them. I managed to get my library working in Vista so I could keep using my ipod in Vista without having to add all the music again. I can't use iTunes to play music however now, because none of my files can be found. Even worse is that I can't create new playlists because of this.
When I click on a song that cannot be found I get asked if I want to search for this particular song. Is it possible to do this for entire albums? Or does anyone know another solution to get iTunes to find my songs?
Would be much appreciated!

Distortion of sound when replaying downloaded music CDs or when transferred to ipod

I have just purchased new HP Pavilion G6 1165SA loaded with Windows 7
I store my CDs on I-tunes and have successfully transferred all previously downloaded CDs.
However, having just downloaded from CD six new CDs I find that while 2 have downloaded successfully, 4 of the CDs have extreme distortion on play back on la top and also when transferred to ipod. Of those downloaded, No 2 and 6 were successful but the others distorted.
All Cds play without distortion when played without downloading and on other CD players.
Can you advise?

Welcome to the Forum, RDBates,
This is not my area of expertise - hopefully someone will offer some "expert" help.
Meanwhile - I will try to help, at least maybe get you pointed in a direction that will help you help yourself.
There are options for listening to the music while it is on the system. Most of the time it is not useful to change these options because the onboard speakers and the onboard audio cannot deal with the changes. However, it depends on how the music was recorded, (and how much you know about the individual recordings), your individual hardware and software...
Things to try...
iTunes is fussy. Turn off all the "EQ" settings, make a plain recording without any bass, treble, anything, and transfer "cold". I don't know if this is even possible. I do not know one would do that. I do know that when it's not working right, reducing the variables is one of the basic troubleshooting steps in most situations.
Audio Check:
Make sure your drivers are happy - yes, the system is new, so it's likely all is in order. Check your audio drivers and make sure they are not showing little errors (yellow bits on the icons). If you like, right click and check the properties. If you find anything with a "yellow" warning icon on it, right click on it and update the driver. If it gets complicated, come back and ask for help.
Control Panel --> Device Manager --> audio
Bits:
Next is the adjustment for sample rate and bit rate. It is likely too late to adjust significantly once the music has been downloaded, even assuming you knew the original information and could control it (which is usually not possible given the restrictions of the notebook hardware). Having said that, it may be possible to make the listening experience better by changing this setting. Keep it down in the 16 Bit range when/if you rip - unless you have some reason to know otherwise about your equipment. (Putting it at 24bit makes larger files and won't ordinarily increase the quality - it could harm it.)
Start with "Bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)" and go from there...
Right-Click on the Sound icon (in your Taskbar) --> Playback devices --> Properties --> Advanced
Enhancements:
It may not help with distortion, but I've heard that this next setting can help with the awful "highs" and "lows" that folks hear from their systems, that is, first something is too loud and then it's too soft. If this is not a problem, then don't adjust this setting - it's best to leave all Enhancements "Disabled" unless you need them.
Select and Check "Loudness Equalization" in Enhancements, if needed
Right-Click on the Sound icon --> Properties --> Enhancements
NOTE: There are a couple of other "Enhancements" - "Virtual Surround" and "Room Correction"... this is not a Bose system and you'll probably be better off just ignoring these. Just my opinion: adding variables to a bad situation may not help and could just make the mess worse.
Options for Ripping Music
If you are using the onboard software (Window Media Player on some systems) for ripping music, then be sure to look at the onboard (system) Help file under (search for) "ripping music". If you are not using the onboard software, then you might try it as a benchmark.
Graphics:
I hope this helps!
Good Luck!
I'd be interested to know if any of this helped.
Kudos are earned!
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur
