Change album artwork.

I get very annoyed as having a vast collection of songs in i-tunes including cloud, to find that the resolution of the artwork is rubbish for some (not all) albums when viewed. It is even more exaggerated and crap when viewed via Apple TV onto my television.
To attempt a change of the artwork, I have highlighted the desired album with a lower resolution artwork, right clicked and selected "clear downloaded artwork."  Having done this, I then slected 'get info' for each track in turn and selecting the artwork tab, delete the album artwork. Having "cleared" all artwork both on album as well as each individual track, I then drop a better resolution album art (160x160) into the album "get info" This appears to work as the higher resolution artwork can be seen in i-tunes. HOWEVER - once i-tunes has been closed down and re-opened the old poor artwork (which appears to be no better than 90x90) is displayed again.
What I can't get my head around is why some albums have higher resolution when others are rubbish and won't display (and retain) the "replaced" higher res artwork despite going through above process!
I have even reverted to delete the album from library and match, then reinstall/burn from the CD. The same result with rubbish resolution for the artwork!
Anybody managed to be able to remove/change and "hold" a replaced (higher res) artwork.
I believe that unless you have bought the album from i-tunes store then "get album artwork" will not work for the selected album, even if it was matched in the cloud! Is this correct?
Just to add further to the problem, when artwork displayed on my i-pad, it may not pick up any artwork at all, despite i-tunes displaying the artwork.

Hi there,
Did you move the entire My Music > iTunes folder? If so this will contain all your album covers etc already...
If you only moved the My Music > iTunes > iTunes Music folder, this folder only contains the music files...

  • Changing Album Artwork D/L'd from Apple Store

    Hi:
    Am wondering if there is any way to change the album artwork for downloads from the Apple Store; they seem to be embedded or something. The normal File -> Get Info -> Artwork method to add/delete artwork for a track does not work (original art does not display), and drag/drop of an image file directly to the iTunes art pane does not "stick" either -- although it does show-up: the art always reverts back to the original d/l'd version. Am running iTunes 9.
    Any help appreciated...

    *Select all songs of the album > right-click > clear downloaded artwork*
    If this doesn't work (It usually don't for iTunes purchased files) then try this:
    *Select all songs of the album > right-click > get info - select the artwork field (empty) > click OK*

  • How can I change album artwork in iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me, if it is possible to change an album artwork that downloaded wrong from iTunes, and how? Thank You!

  • Changing Album Artwork (movies)

    At one point I was able to drag artwork (.jgp) from my desktop and place in the Album Artwork window to change the artwork for a movie, but I am no longer able to do it. Has this change? I need some help. Thanks.
    Version: iTune 10.2.1 (1) for a Mac.

    it still works for me, however, i find it more convenient to use a tagger such as iDentify.

  • Changing album artwork via click-and-drag gone in iTunes 12?

    Is there any way to still click-and-drag album artwork for CDs I import. I just built a brand new machine and now half of my CDs artwork is either not recognized, incorrect or just not what I want. Now as a party DJ I have a lot of CDs to import and now the only way I can alter the artwork to what i want is to apparently save the image to my computer first. I think this is super asinine as I used to just Google search it and click-and-drag. Has anyone figured this one out yet? I really don't want to have to go to Windows Media Player just to get the artwork that I want, instead of what Apple wants me to have...

  • Changing Album Artwork

    How do I replace the album artwork that is incorrect for CDs I have added from my personal library? There's been a few that haven't come up right when I used "search album artwork" instead of scanning in my own.

    Don't know if it will make a difference, but try copy and paste instead of dragging the artwork into the field. Also...if they are .wav files, you cannot embed artwork. Wav files do not support embedded artwork.
    Also...if you really running Windows, you have posted in the wrong forum. This is the iTunes for Mac. (Not sure if there are minor details that would be different on Windows.)

  • None of my album artwork was downloaded to my iPhone and iPad.

    How do I get the artwork?

    Hope this helps. Deselect "display album artwork," check apply. Then select "display album artwork," check apply. Depending on how many songs you have, it will take several minutes. If you have like 2400 songs, it will take 10 minutes.
    I have a similar problem, except it is not with all my songs but for certain songs. I notice albums do not initially show album artwork if you add/change album artwork via the iPod. But if the album artwork is already added from the computer, mine displays just fine.
    Edit: whoops, you already tried that, sorry

  • Album artworks from the itunes store, can I change them?

    Many times when I have updated my ipod it will download an image to itunes however the next time it will be different, i.e. sometimes it will download the single cover to a title that has the same name as the album but you really want the album cover, is there anyway you can choose which image will be used and where it is from.
    I know I can change the artwork if I have the image on my computer, but I shouldn't have to do that. I should be able to pick which artwork I want if it comes back with more then one. Can any one help?

    If your album covers are actually changing then I wonder if you're occasionaly using Windows Media Player with it's "Automatically retrive media information" option selected. iTunes & WMP could be matching different entries. WMP has long supported multiple album versions and a method for picking between them but, as far as I'm aware, iTunes only ever makes one suggestion. You could always pop a feature request into iTunes Feedback.

  • How can I edit/change/update/remove album artwork for a song in iCloud?

    Dear Community,
    my problem is the following.
    I'm editing my songs/albums artworks and when I change these artworks, iTunes Match syncs my artworks back to the original ones.
    I've tried a lot of things, read a lot of discussions but I didn't find a solution for this problem.
    For example:
    I've deleted for an album all of my songs artworks, then set the good one. Then I've done an update for iTunes Match in Store menu. My artworks didn't changed on an Apple TV2
    If I just delete the artworks, do an iTunes Match upgrade, the artworks on an iPhone 4S & Apple TV2 remains the same (I've also removed the songs from my iPhone and redownloaded them...)
    I used TuneUp iTunes plugin for song identifying. It did a very good job, changed my artworks, my metadata, everything looked good. After a few minutes iTunes Match synced, the artworks restored to the old ones, but the metadata info didn't changed, it is updated in iCloud too.
    I'm also tried to get artworks from iTunes, it worked very well for some albums, but again: iTunes Match synced...
    I've turned off iTunes Match, done the album editing. Again when I've turned on iTunes Match, the album artworks restored..
    In my opinion if I use a cloud service, anything I do locally in my iTunes library, it should sync up to the cloud. EVERYTHING means music, music metadata, music artwork etc.
    So what is the solution?
    What can be the reason all of this?
    Someone has the same issue?
    Is it a bug?
    One more thing
    In this album all of my songs has the same artwork (David Guetta: One Love)
    Look at the BRAVO hits cover

    Try this, it has worked for me.
    1. Make a new, empty iTune library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key.
    2. Choose create new library; do NOT have iTunes scan for music.
    3. Enable iTunes Match on the empty library.
    4. Find the tracks with the wrong artwork, highlight them, Get Info and paste the correct artwork into the "artwork" field.
    5. When finished update iTunes Match, then re-launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and chose select library to get back to the "master" library.

  • 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..

  • Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

  • How do you change the album artwork size in the new itunes

    I just downloaded the laterst version of itunes, and I can't figure out how to change the size of the album artwork in the grid...I like to be able to see all of my albums at once, so I usually view them in the smallest size, but I can't figure out how to change that.

    I've been playing with this and discovered it has to do with your personal ratings (ie stars) for albums and songs - seems iTunes now selects the highest rated album to use for the Artist icon. If you have no ratings it seems (but not always) to select the most recent album/song to use fo rthe display.
    I've been able to get iTunes to use specific album artowk by rating both the album and all individual tracks as 5 star. You may need to restart iTunes for the changes to take effect.
    But I'd be much happier just telling iTunes which image to use - like we used to be able to do. Yet another step backwards for iTunes 11 (one of many).

  • How do I stop iTunes changing my album artwork?

    I do not want iTunes changing my album artwork. I spend a lot of time getting this right. iTunes 12.01 has started messing with this, substituting new artwork and removing what I put there. How do I stop this happening?

    Hi Alan,
    I have always kept this option unchecked. I've looked again just now and the option has remained unchecked. For some reason iTunes 'selected' 4 (that I've noticed) out of my 1775 albums and did its automatic update anyway. I guess this is a bug in the latest version, perhaps during the updating process.
    I've changed the album art back to what I want and will keep an eye on them. I'll feed back to this thread if iTunes changes the art again.
    Thanks for getting back to me,
    Phil

  • Artist name/album artwork won't change on my ipod 4g

    After I change the artist names and album artwork on itunes and then press "sync", they should be changed right away on my ipod, right? THEY DO NOT GET CHANGED. does this syncing problem (or a slow reaction prob) only occuring to me? I called the customer service today and they simply told me to restore it. I tried restoring my ipod more than three times because of this. Is there any solution to this? Should I go and get a replacement to apple store? I own a new ipod 4g white with ipos 5.0.1.

    i called them again and they told me if I want to change the album artwork + names of the songs that are already in the ipod (under device>music), I have to DELETE those songs. After that, I have to go to library>music and then change the settings there and then ADD THEM BACK to my ipod. I thought it's simply stupid and inconvenient.

  • Changing song names and adding album artwork

    Some of the songs that i imported into itunes by some artists, lets say for example "Less Than Jake" shows up as "less than jake" (uncapitalized) when i go to change the first letter which is an "l" to a capital "L" i successfully change the name in itunes and then when i am done changing ti and click on another song it just goes back to lower case
    does anyone know how to fix that so that the names that i fix stay fixed not just go back
    Another question that i have is some of my artists albums do not have album artwork and when i right click on the album and say get album artwork nothing happens. And i already registered with itunes store so its not that it wont get the album artwork because i didn't register with itunes. Is there anyway to copy the album picture from the internet and get it associated with that specific album in itunes anyway?
    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Greg,
    Are you just typing over the name as it appears in your iTunes library?
    I am not familiar with the Windows version, but in the Mac version, the best way to edit song title/artist/genre, etc is to select a song and then "Get Info" - in the Mac version that is under the "File" menu - a right click will probably work for you. There are several tabs on the Get Info screen - go to the "Info" tab and you will see what to do.
    As for album artwork, iTunes has been pretty good about finding artwork for for those albums which I purchased from the iTunes store, but was no help at all in finding art for the (many) albums I ripped from my CDs.
    You COULD find the album art yourself, using Google 'Images' but I think you will find it to be too tedious, and most of the album cover JPEGs you will find by that method are too small and of poor quality.
    It would be better to use a third party application. For Mac users I can recommend Fetch Art (http://members.cox.net/afriesen3//fetchart/index.html); I expect there is something similar for Windows, but I can't be specific.
